So I have been troubleshooting the coil and wicking issues with my Sapor for days and am having a lot of issues wicking and setting up my coil appropriately.
Since I got my Sapor, I've been getting a few hits of vicious TH and no vapor. I've realized it's actually me just inhaling ejuice, and hacking/stopping inhaling before I even produce much vapor at all. I can see the ejuice pooling in my mouthpiece, and if I take off the top cap (I don't use the chuff cap) the bottom of the cap is splattered with ejuice. However, after a few draws of terrible TH/no vapor I get to the good stuff-big white clouds with appropriate TH and great flavor.
I have attached a pic below showing my coil and wick. As you can see, it's really not that much cotton. When i saturate it appropriately (enough so that it's wet, but not so much that ejuice is pooling in the well), the cotton wick leans against that little shelf that runs the entire internal circumference of the Sapor. As a result, I've got bits of ejuice on my sidewall, and I think it's being pulled up from the sidewall into my mouthpiece.
Right now I'm about to lower my coil significantly, so cotton jutting out either side of the coil are below that deck and see if that helps, but that kinda sucks because I can't rewick at that low height(I won't have the available space). So I'll have to lift and drop the coil each time I rewick. Not the end of the world, but perhaps somebody has a better idea.
I could also leave the coil where it is and try to adjust the cotton inward away from that internal shelf, but it doesn't seem like it will stay.
So a couple of questions;
1)Have you had this issue before? If so how did you resolve/mitigate the issue?
2)Is this just an issue for top airflow RDAs (for those that might have had the issue and might be able to compare). It seems like a top airflow RDA would be more prone to this because of the way that air flows in the respective devices.
3)Even if you haven't had this issue, do you have any solutions other than those I mention in my post?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
