Ohhh, I was under the impression you also removed the lip on the top of the tank. Lol

No. I'll sand that lip down to clock the air holes next week. Either sand it, or chuck it up in the lathe and spin it off. Easy peasy stuff for me...I was a tool and die maker for 28 years, and have a lathe in my basement.

Got my first ever spaced coil in the Aromamizer.... 24G Kanthal 5 Wraps, 3mm ID, 0.25 Ohm, wicked with Rayon. Not sure how far I spaced but tried to make it as consistent as possible between each wrap.

This actually happened by accident I was just going to build my regular contact coils shooting for 0.25 ohm however the coil was up too high so the chamber piece caught some of it resulting in the coil being disfigured and spacing out a few wraps, so figure might as well space out the rest of the coil and then the other coil with some tweezers and it wasnt that hard. I also got a 6-32 screw and an 8-32 that I could use to wrap but this way might be even simpler. I guess there is no right amount of spacing just whatever works for each individual, my spacing might be alittle too much in between wraps let me know what you think. Seem to be getting a lot more airflow, does that make sense with a spaced coil allowing more air to move freely? It is weird also my new favorite drip tip a long curved one from Fast Tech actually "hiccups" like there is air or something getting caught in the curve of the drip tip. That really to me should be an indication of increased airflow which should increase vapor. I have some straight drip tips on the Aromamizer now and it works perfectly. Currently have three delrin drip tips that go into each other(not sure having more than one little delrin piece would actually cool things down any better than just one but experimenting with that) Then about a 3 3/4 inch Straight Stainless Steel tip. I think the longer the drip tip the better regardless of build or tank and Im surprised there arent more people that use them.

Any reason you do one vertical and one horizontal?
Just felt like trying something different....I'd never seen it done and was like wth, lemme try this just to see how it does and as it turns out, I think it's my fav build on it to date. But as we all know, taste is subjective to everyone but since I have three aromamizers in my rotation daily and I've had them for months, I know that I can tell I prefer it.

Couldn't tell you how or why other than it just happens to be a bonus.... But my adv is a diy juice and I normally get about 10ml through the dual verticals and about 15 through my horizontals before needing a dry burn and rewick. On this setup, I'm running 20ml plus through... This is after 22ml of juice as it currently sits. I'll prolly go ahead and just burn and rewick it since I've got the top off as we speak lol. Happy new years man.

The Aromamizer in general has been such a love hate relationship. When its working properly it is hands down the best tank I own for flavor and clouds. However if the wicking isnt done well enough or the coils are the wrong size or positioned wrong I get some of the worst dry hits Ive ever experienced. There seems to be very little room for user error at least in my experience. Not only do you need to know exactly what your doing(which I dont lol) but for me I have had to have a little luck... its about 50-50 half the time working great other half of the time dry hits....

@Chris863
I'm really surprised to hear you say that. I've found the Aromamiser to be the easiest RTA I have to wick, and I've not
come close to a hint of a dry hit.

I am only running it at 55 watts though. How much power are you running when you get dry hits?

I actually did my first spaced coil build in my Aromamizer today. SS316l 7 spaced wraps, 3mm ID verticals. Came out to 0.21ohms. Lots of popping but I figure that'll stop once it's broken in. So far it's performing better in TC. I have the same amount of airflow as always. I think the "increased" airflow has more to do with your coil orientation, diameter, and location on the deck.
