AgA-T 3' of wire later =

pure bliss. With other delivery systems I could taste the flavor for 3/4 puffs & then BLaaaH. With this rba set up properly you get flavor to the last drop. Oh, & no leaks absolutely no dry hits, great TH & YUMYUMYUM. Now I see what all the fuss was about. For those starting with rba's, DON'T GIVE UP.

congrats and enjoy.

I started out with a cheap Genesis Style rba and soon fell in love with it. I still have a VV/VW mod and Cartos for the night out. At work and home, I am rocking a new Z Atty (had to get a good one) and I absolutely love it. Congrats on getting it set up!!

Thanks, Thrasher/Chris. I actually got the wick first time no problem. But no matter how much one reads/videos & such most will have to destroy a bunch of coils before they get it. The best help for me, besides the folks on this forum wAs getting the neg wire off the bottom/base with a 2MM long hollow shim. But my epiphany came when I used light weight to get all of the spring out when annealing the wire. Without this step I found that when I tightened everything down & fired the coil I would get tiny gaps between coil & wick. This method will give you a lazer straight wire while removing any kinks as well as removing 'ALL' tension from wire. This will even straighten out a used coil if you don't want to waste it (I'm frugal/cheap?). I am now down to the last drop from tank full. These RBA'S do take vaping to a whole other level. Not only great flavor/TH, but the vapor will block your fAce from view.

I'm not sure I understand. You attach a weight to the wire before a flame-pass?

There is a learning curve to finding the sweet spot where everything works just like it should. I know I went through a load of wire before I got one working like it should. Several wicks too. Still have days though when I can't get a wick and coil just like I want it. Post some pic's of your set up if you can, would like to see what you've done.
