Aromamizer RDTA by Steam Crave

[cigatron]

Ok, new build. better flavor but still no where near my crown... dual 24g 3mm id 7 spaced wraps at .35 ohms. first pick is finished build, second is showing how long I left the tails that were fluffed adn tucked. Top of the wick is trimmed even with the top of the posts.





Still wanting to get good flavor out of this thing... I pulled the deck out of the bottom piece of the tank and when I screwed it back it I snugged it, but not to tight. then I used a file and lightly marked on the bottom knurled ring where the center of the coils are, or rather the center of the space between the posts. when I reassembled the tank I checked and the two air holes are now at 45 degrees to the coils.

Your top pic shows coil symmetry could be better. See that opened up end turn on the bottom of the coil? The wick will not have enough compression against the coil ID right there. That's all it takes to add a burny taste to your vape and will keep you from cranking the power up to get better flavor. Also, thin and trim those wick tails on the bottom to encourage better juice flow. You may want to run at 45w, if so move up a wire gauge or two. Maybe try 26 or 28g 3mm 6wrap to increase heat flux. Your current vert build should pop flavor at 70w plus with airholes aligned with the coil. And wick um chunky!

I had a length of fused Clapton left over from my vertical build, 28x2N80/36g K1, so I made 6 wrap 2.5mm horizontal coils because I have a theory about flavor and this atty. The vertical coils do great for clouds, but I really think horizontal gives more flavor since more wick is on the deck bringing more juice to the coils. The reason your wick tips get browned on vertical setups is that fresh juice never reaches the tops, it just cooks the juice sitting there. I'm gonna say horizontal is the way to go.

And I'm going to agree with you even though with the right build verts give great flavor too.

wel I much prefer a warm vape... Bordering on a hot vape. But all I get from this thing is a cool vape. ok, puling it apart again... Gonna try to keep my coils tighter and possibly twist some 28 together...

Crank up the watts, I'm running a build 90-120W and it has no issues with dry hits (though I can only take a .5s blast of hellfire per puff max once it's hot) this 22 or 24g wrapped with twisted 32g holds enough heat that you get a second nautilus sized puff before the coil cools off. Way more heat than I like, but it's definitely RDA caliber flavor here. That said gotta love rayon, 3mm untrimmed at the bottom just long enough to fill out the juice well and top trimmed to the top of the coil/posts... it can dish out more than I can handle haha.

ok, rebuilt with dual 3mm 7 wrap twisted 28G contact vert coil, wicked with KGD, cut even with teh juice well walls and top of the posts. Bottom of the wocks barely brush the deck. still runing at 50% duty cycle, not getting burny hits, but still not the flavor I am looking for. better, but not even with my crown. gotta get to bed. 0300 comes WAY to damn quickly these days.

try a fused Clapton in it off some sort. I think you like the stainlesssteelwire of the crown coil heads. When you got ss you don't go back lol

hi novaracer
what I am looking for is replacement v decks for the aromamizer, but at 14 or so forget it ...fast tech has 5 for about 10 they are drilled all the way through . the very first v decks steamcrave send out were also all the way through also , but changed that . what I realy like to know if the clones fit the authentic

if the clone is a 1 to 1 it should fit but I wouldn't do it in have had bad luck with clones

Over in the FT forum one reviewer says it doesn't fit and two say it does fit. just saying.

When you do a horizontal dual coil build do you use the bottom or top spot on the velocity deck?
Hope this isn't a dumb question. I used the bottom and while there's no burnt taste I don't think the flavor is where it should be.

Crank up the watts and/or get the 3ml top cap. That version has a slightly warmer vape IMO

 

[jcash74]

And now I have a burnt taste. This thing is tricky to build on... I nailed it with my 1st build and can't seem to replicate it again.

Been thinking about trying diamond coils in it

You use all the post holes... on one side, the coil will have a low leg and high leg - they go to the appropriate post holes. Then on the other side, you do the same. The post holes will only have one leg each.

 

[jcash74]

I put both coils through the bottom spots. Maybe that's why I'm not having much luck with horizontal. I moved the coils up a little and it's a little better. I'll rebuild it tomorrow.

Hmmmmm.

I use the bottom on one side and the top on the other side.

Gave it a lot of thought before the first build, some 5-6 builds ago. Even considered pre-bending so the coil remains perfectly vertical. After several dry-burns and re-wicking the coils line up top to bottom. If not, I adjust them slightly (before the dry-burn) until they do. Never more than slight adjustment is needed.

I pack mine tight as hell and fluff it a little near the juice hole area, works wonders, no dry hits yet

Scottish roll, sushi roll, whatever people call it lol

It's definitely possible to build like that, but the velocity deck was designed to keep from needing to bend each leg into position. Keeping the legs straight, they naturally go into the high post hole on one side (left or right) and low post hole on the other side. Unless a contact/low wrap count coil is used, there is very minimal/no dog legging needed in the coil leg at all... and there's still room to adjust the height level of the coil if it needs it.

@Landman I have built contact coils, exclusively.

In that case, it would have a bit of dog leg reaching outward horizontally to the post hole, but there's still a high and low leg on your contact coil. Don't get me wrong, it's whatever you're comfortable with/used to building.

It's the same concept with the RDA's where several started coming out with the center post holes raised higher than the outside posts... high legs go inside, low legs go outside.

I've not used contact coils since pre TC days, but I can say that I've read where a few didn't like how it left the bottom leg sitting when it came to wicking and they intentionally reverse the coil legs, high in low post hole etc., so that the leg bend for the outer coil wrap was away from where the wick exited the coil and bent... and IIRC they were using contact coils, so there ya go.
