Aromamizer RDTA problems

[fistfull95]

Hey everyone,

(I wasn't sure wether to post it here or in the RDA board, because this is an RDTA lol)

I got my Aromamizer RDTA in the mail 2 days back. I have never owned a rebuildable, so this is my first time making coils and wicks.

I opened the box and immediately started building. I made a dual coil 7 wrap 3mm coil, from 24awg Kanthal. I have risen the coils as far as I could, but it simply doesn't vape good. There must be something I am doing wrong. I have included some pictures of my coils. It wicks good and there are no dry hits. But the flavour is almost non-existent, and if I puff very hard I just suck the whole tank dry lol (despite the excellent spitback protection). I have also notice that it doesn't matter what my ratios are, I have tried 30/70, 50/50, but I just have no throat hit. 0nic that is though.

Is there anything obviously wrong with my config?

Thanks so much in advance!

My Aromamizer has a velocity style build deck. That is either an older stock item or a really bad clone. Where did you get it?

 

[fistfull95]

I know, I got mine on Aliexpress (it's not a clone though). It's indeed the older version which has a 3post deck. But a 2post deck is on its way.

 

[fistfull95]

I must add: I have tried a random €3,- 15mg nic juice from my local vape shop, and it darn near killed me. The throat hit is insane on this one..

You can do 1 of two things... For starters I would reduce the inner diameter of the coil to 2.5mm.... That way you don't have to worry about your cotton sagging and not touching the top of the coil. We can get that build to a .4 ohm with 10 wraps each should for easily and increased surface area should increase your flavor. The coils need to be even with the air holes when the tank is placed on top.

Otherwise you may have to go with more of an exotic build like a dual parallel build or smaller gauge twisted to enhance flavor. I have never had an issue with flavor out of my aromamizer only leaking through the air holes if it's laid on it's side.

That's a good one! Thank you! I'll try a dual 2.5mm 10 wrap build tonight when I get home, and a dual parallel build when I get my master coiler kit in the mail!

The coils are even with the air holes (by accident every time lol). I have tried the 2 hole vape band, but it doesnt enhance the flavour for me. Lowering the wattage to about 30-35 did help a little, and I don't get a mouth full of juice anymore, so improvements are made.

EDIT: I also notice that the ramp-up time is about 1.5-2 seconds, is this normal?

That don't look like my original deck, just saying..

 

[fistfull95]

It's the older 3post deck RDTA 3 post Built-Deck Standard,Aromamizer RDTA

I didn't do quite enough research when I bought my Aromamizer, but they are quite difficult to get hold on in The Netherlands anyway, so I hadn't many choices.

 

[Clydde26]

No that isnt normal I'm thinking that perhaps your middle screw isn't tight enough. Even though it's 24 ga Your ramp up shouldn't be longer than 1 sec.

Your build you have right now sweet spot it 65 watts. Ramp up should be next to nothing.

 

[fistfull95]

Ah... my mod only does up to 60w (Eleaf TC60W). I'll tighten my screws down now, can I overtighten/break them?

EDIT: Whoops, I'm a noob. I've tightened down my screws with a bigger screwdriver for more leverage, and that has helped a ton. The ramp up time is now almost instant. Thanks!!!

Yeah, I have one. It doesn't have that black area on it. But glad you fixed it.

 

[fistfull95]

I hope my Velocity style deck comes in soon. I can't wait to try out vertical builds

 

[Clydde26]

Yea keep that puppy At max watts then

 

[fistfull95]

Will do! Need to lose this disgusting 15mg juice first though, but I'm at work. Will report tonight!

EDIT: It seems to vape far more relaxed and with much more flavour on 45 watts though...

v2 and supreme preorders starts today

aromamizer best rta on the market by far, now improved and have a big brother !

 

[fistfull95]

My Aromamizer RDTA v1 came in just days ago, so I won't preorder the v2 just yet haha.

 

[Clydde26]

You never updated how your flavor improved...or didnt with your tweaks....were you able to get what you were hoping for out of the tank after our trouble shoot and war gaming?

 

[fistfull95]

Sorry totally forgot about that. I have tried a 2.5mm 10 wraps each dual, but I failed building due to the lack of tools, my coils wouldn't fit on my deck and would stick out so that the tank couldn't screw on. I'll try again tomorrow when my master coiler comes in.

 

[Clydde26]

Make sure to Keep the thread updated so that future aromamizer flavor lackers can gain insight on how to remedy their issue

 

[fistfull95]

Will do! I think it has to do with my 3post deck though. I see everyone using the Velocity style deck, and loving the flavour, so I'll update on that aswell. Thanks so much for your advice so far!
