Hey Ya'll. I just ordered the 6ml version and thought I would ask this before I start at page 1 of this thread to catch up. Can I run a single coil build on the Aromamizer 2 post deck ?
Yes, it can be done. Some have blocked the juice feed holes on one side of the deck and built on the other side. And I'm sure you could do a centered coil with the tails hitting both sides - but I haven't tried either method.

Yup you sure can, seems like most people who do that put it between the posts, either vertically or horizontally. They say it's good. I'm curious to hear your experience with that compared to the cthulhu....for me it's a no brainer. :)

Thanks Douggro, storm for the replies. It's hard to find You Tube Reviews that show single coil builds for the Aromamizer, but then I have only been looking for about an hour and a half. storm, it was Roxynoodle that posted in the Cthulhu V2 thread that since she already has the Aromamizer she was gonna pass on the Cthulhu V2, and that always stuck with me, made me wonder just how good this Aromamizer in fact was, as I know that she really likes her's, and I really like my 2 Cthulhu V2's. Now I'll find out which one suites me better. I ordered the 6ml version for $24.25 at ecig.com just a few hours ago. I'll start reading this thread to find out just how others are doing their singles, how good it worked for them, and how big a coil that can be used. I would imagine 2.5mm Max, just a guess.

You can build at least a 3 mm coil in single mode. I was trying to find a pic but haven't found one yet, I'll post one when I find it...I've never done it, I hardly ever use my aromamizer, but it's something of a trend right now, single coil. I'll dig up a pic tomorrow.

Not my build but a good looking single horizontal, just to show you what I'm talking about.

It's pretty subjective honestly. I also have 2 Cthulu V2's and they've been sitting on the shelf the past couple of months because I found the Aromamizer leaps and bounds better for flavor/vapor than the Cthulu. Others have said they prefer the Cthulu. It really comes down to personal preference, I firmly believe.

Since I've collected these Aromamizers, I'll use the Serpent at home...and will pullout the Cthulu v2 occasionally.
I really like the performance and ease of the Aromamizer while on the road most of the day. I just don't trust top fill while out and about. Just can't chance a flow of liquid everywhere because I didn't add another strand or two of wick.

Yeah, That's what I'm beginning to think, and with my taster I might NOT find any real difference between the two. That would make it a Win, Win for me as my Cthulhu V2's are the BEST tasting of All the Atomizers I have, plus they force me to lower my Nic down to 6mg/ml in strength from 9mg/ml, and that's with KGD/Muji cotton (down to 3mg/ml with Rayon). So I have Very High expectations for my Aromamizer when it gets to me, and the 23mm in dia. is not an issue for me as I also have (7) Lemo/Lemo Drops (which I run at 9mg/ml Nic in, but the flavor is a step behind my Cthulhu's). I'm looking at my week old Cuboid as a landing pad for my new Aromamizer SC-200. This feels like a second Christmas for me, as I might have all the hardware that I will need and can just concentrate on buying Nic.

I think you will notice differences, especially in terms of airflow, with the cthulhu you have direct bottom airflow and the aromamizer uses side airflow, which may or may not line up with your coil...with a single coil it's probably less of an issue than with duals. With my builds I have to make adjustments to the tank to get direct airflow, and the flavor I want. It's not really a big deal once you figure it out.

Serpent ?? I'll just do a quick check on that to see what's up with that one, you know, just to keep me busy and off the streets. ;)

Can someone please help me with wicking this thing for higher wattages? Currently running a dual vertical 24g kanthal build, can't remember the wrap count but ohms out to about 0.4

No matter how hard I try this thing gets dry on me after 2 hits at around 65w, not chain vaping super fast or anything.

What's the secret? I've tried cotton and Rayon, I've tried fluffing the tails. Should I be leaving the juice holes uncovered?

Please help, I want to believe the hype but this thing is not performing like my more traditional RTAs which I can chain vape as high as 80w. I thought the aromamizer was supposed to be one of the best for this style of vaping?

i've neglected my Aromamizer for the past couple weeks since i got a Silverplay Nano Subohm edition. but last night i put a fresh SS build on it and it is still as awesome as i remember it. what sucks, is that for some reason, it was not working in temp control on my Evic VTC mini. it would switch it to power mode automatically.:confused:

i thought it was the mod. but then i put the Silverplay Nano back in, which has the same exact build and it was working. does anyone have any ideas what would cause this on the Aromamizer? it also gave me a "low res" error on my SXK Zero mini trying to run it in power mode. i checked all my coils and leads were tight and 510 was secure. not sure wtf is going on.

*They* say the serpent is the best single coil deck. :) always something better, lol. I have a griffin on the way, traded a mod for it and some cash. trying to downsize my collection.

I'm one of the "they," but I say it subjectively. It's be best one I've ever had for big air, big taste in single big coil. For tootle puffing, I don't know. For lung hitters as an alternative to a good dual coil, certainly.

I just text "Ralph" of Customer Service over on Ecig.Com where I just bought my SC-200 to ask if I was getting the full kit or just the Tank as pictured (only 1 picture of just the tank itself), and he said that I was getting the FULL Kit, extra glass tube, screws, o-rings and such. All that for $24.25 is pretty good I think. If it can handle a single Clapton Coil between the posts, then it surely can handle my preferred 2.5mm/3mm 8 wrap dual Twisted 30g Kanthal A-1 build. I am Stoked about this one. Of course, I get Stoked about EVERY New piece of Kit I get, If I don't get Stoked about something, I'm NOT going to get it at all, and Old People Stoke Slowly. ;)

Have you tried it without the tank section and just firing in temp control with the bottom and build deck

If you're cotton is too tight then it will mute the flavor and wick slowly, if it is too loose then it will Pop and spit and get harsh on you're draws. That's all I can offer at this point, and that's with All rebuildables, Rayon is a bit different though. I won't get my Aromamizer for a few days yet, but I do have Lemo's/Lemo V2's, Cthulhu V2's, Big Buddha mini, Magma's, SOD 5K, Atomic, IGO-L (drilled out of course), EVOD2's, Joyetech Tron-S with CLR coil heads. I've been doing Rebuildables since Oct 2014 and am just getting to the point that I can feel when I have just the right amount of cotton in the coil (I use KGD/Muji). Yes, I am a slow learner it seems, but it does take a fair amount of practice for some to get it right, other lucky/talented SOB's get it right off the bat. Wicking was the hardest part for me in getting a good build that worked right, Now I think I can hit it about 90% of the time, so still not Perfect, but close enough for Government work. High Wattage puts more demands on you're wicking than my style does though (12-20 watts), and makes it even more critical that you get it right.

What helped me was when I settled on a coil diameter, my case was a 2.5mm Coil Master, and a wicking materal, KGD. Then I just experimented with all different kinds of widths of cotton, starting at 3mm in width and moving up the scale to about 15mm in width (very tight) and keeping notes as I went. I used the same atomizer/mod/wattage for my testing so as to keep the variables down to just the width of my KGD cotton strips. When I had something That I thought was a good, repeatable build, in my wattage range, I tried it in a different atomizer to see how that fared. It was a process for me to learn wicking. As long as you're Hardware is working as it should (mod/Atomizer) then it leaves you're build as what will make or break you're vape. I found that if I went from a verticle, to a horizontal, to a Genny, to a Magma and so on while trying to get my wicking down, it just confused me to no end. I had to start with 1 atomizer and keep on it till I got it right, cause each atomizer is just a bit different to get right.
