I received my rdta through steam crave and did a twisted 26 gauge 2mm build. The flavor and vapor is great so far but I feel like it can be better. I raised my coils so they're above the grub nuts but I can't seem to align the coil to the airholes. I tried pushing the coil to the negative side and then the center. Still can't manage to be directly over the coil. Any suggestions? I have the 2 hole band on there so I can get a tighter draw. I've been vaping at 50-60 watts .3ohm. Haven't had a dry hit yet and it's been great besides the coil not being by the airhole.
Aromamizer RDTA airhole problem

That's just the way it's designed. If you take a look at the thread here on the Aromamizer, you'll see quite a few posts about it. I agree it's definitely a strange design "flaw". I'm not sure what they were thinking when they decided to go that route. But you're not the only one. What I do, I unscrew the deck from the base a little bit to get the coils in front of the airholes. For me, that doesn't cause any issues with the resistance readings.
I wrote to SteamCrave and asked about that design decision and they said "it doesn't matter where the airholes are, since there are 4 holes total." I highly disagree, as having indirect and direct airflow makes it an entirely different vape to me, in my experience.
I marked the locations of the airholes on my base using painters tape since it leaves no goo. Then I knew where to position my dual coils.
I rather quickly went to a quad vertical build though and have all 4 holes wide open now.
But I think I'll be going back to duals when the Velocity deck comes out and I buy a second Aromamizer.

I just unscrewed it a little bit and now have the airflow over the coil. Stronger flavor and oil isn't leaking everywhere.
I using a single coil 28 g ..with the bottom part off I marked the center of the coil with a perma marker ..srewed back on the tank you will notice that you have to back up on the treads by about one 8 th ..to align it to the air hole works great so made a tiny little mark with a dremel ..also raised the coil . only using one of the air holes..the only thing I don't like and I mean the only thing ! is the vape band . looking for a glue on tape now thin ! then cut the one hole with a execto knife .
have fun !
I found a better solution and just placed my coils on the right side instead of the left and make sure it's close to the edge instead of centered. The airholes are right over my coils and I never have to unscrew the base again. I can vape at 120 watts no problem (I rarely ever do this). I normally just vape anywhere from 60-70 watts at .3 ohms and it's beautiful.
hi jimmyw86
good idea and I will try that the next time. I waiting for a second one in the mail . should be here soon . to try a new build on .
the way this is I am not playing with it . I noticed most of you guys and girls are using much higher watts . I am vaping at 18 watts !
not graduated jet ??
No need to move up if you plan to quit. I just started lowering my nicotine from 6mg down to 3mg. Also bought the new velocity styled deck which would make things a little easier. Should be here in a week or so.
I never vaped at 60+W until I got the Aromamizer. If you like it at 18W, vape it at 18W.
I like my 0.3 ohm build between 50-60W, but did try it at 100W out of curiousity and it kept up. But, 100W isn't for me (yet?). I also put a 0.3 ohm build in my Cthulhu last night and like that one 55-60W. I don't plan to take it higher because I'm happy there.
I do need 3mg nic for these beasts now.
I'm also vaping at 18 watts and my coil is 26 g Titanium at 1.0 ohms. I have an issue with getting a weird taste and goop on my coil. I clean it off with each tank fill. I've also tried changing the cotton several times, but I'm still getting the black goop on my coil. As for flavor, it is better than a Crown, better than a TVF4. The flavor is so good, I just keep cleaning the coil and using it. As for location of the air holes in relation to the coils - I don't think it would matter since there are four all around.
hi joya
since you are using titanium coils you must be using tc.never used it . so cant coment on that .
build about 20 or so mods but not one with temp control . jet !
try one hole aligned with the coil and try a different juece .did you raise the coil a bit ?

Yes, the black stuff might be the juice. Banana flavors just eat my coils, tc or not. So can NETs and just sweeter juices.
Seems to be some inconsistancy on this...my coils line up perfectly with airflow when the coils are centered on the tri deck.
hi towelie
yep you are right ..got two and the air holes a slightly different position when screwed down completely .
on one I just have to go back a little . the other is right on . still waiting for my third one and a couple of v decks , it been 2 weeks now !
Having the same issue with gunky coils. Having to clean & rewick atleast once a day. Which isnt that bad just when you start losing flavour after 18 hours use it gets a bit frustrating.. Will try position coils higher up see if that makes a difference.
Other than that the aromamizer has been spot on haven't picked up my other rdas since i got it.
hi tom
I usualy mixing 4 different tobacco flavors and at the end put all the rests together .. the last I mixed some of my net extract in there about 15% or so . wow that clogs up coils fast !
normaly I use vz and hangsen in my mixes with no such problem .
so what juece are you using ?

Hi rolf. I am using a mango custard juice which is 80/20 VG/PG (3mg). I dont think its the juice because i have been using it on my kennedy rda, and that wasnt gunking up for atleast 3-4 days of heavy vaping.
I have just rebuilt the aromamizer with dual 7wraps of 24g kanthal coming out to about 0.24ohms but this time i have positioned the coils slightly higher up (as high as i can get them really). Will see how i get on and let you guys know. If you come up with a solution in the meantime please let me know. Thanks again.

hi tom hope it will doo it for you . some times I suspect how tight the cotton wick is in there and type of cotton to
just build one with 4 strands of 34 , twisted ... so far like it at about 1.2 ohms. and also raised the coil a bit more
you will see a difference the way it vapes . have fun
