The ready coils you have use also non res wire? how many volts you use?

While you screw the Divers tube pls ensure that the wicks do not become entangled in the threads of the base and try to put them in the edge of the base slots

There are non r with r wire in the middle. I ensure when the screwed on the Diver I kepted the wicks to the side. It taste like it's not able to soak up juice and getting different taste

I'm not sure how experienced you are with building RBAs, so my apologies in advance if my comments are obvious to you.

Make sure the coil isn't too tight on the wick. This will choke juice flow and lead to dry hits or muted flavor. This is my personal favorite mistake, I make it all the time.

With any wick material, when you screw on the tube, make sure the tube threads on without any force needed. If you need to apply force, the wick is too "high" and it is getting choked off as the top tube is screwing onto the base. Without reducing the amount of wick, try to reposition both sides so they are "flat and wide", not "narrow and tall". This way, the wick spreads across horizontally. This allows the tube to thread on without choking the wick. It also helps the wick completely cover the juice slots on the side of the Diver.

If you leave the wick "narrow and tall", when you close it, you will see gaps on each side of the wick when you look into the juice slots. With "flat and wide", there will be wick evenly distributed from one end of the juice slot to the other, and you will not be able to see the cup inside the Diver when it is closed up.

With cotton, this just means pressing it between two fingers gently to flatten it out a bit. With silica, you may want to unravel the threads.

Above all, this needs a bit of patience. Lots of others have gotten their Divers to sing with a bit of practice and experimentation. And once you get there, you'll get it right almost every time.

Dear Diver freaks, here's some pics I took as I was rewicking a 1-week-old coil in my v2 which I use in my Billet Box. It's a 2.2 ohm coil using cotton ball.

Dry cotton passed through the coil. It is absolutely stuffed in there. When it gets primed, it will condense, so if you don't have enough cotton stuffed in there, when it condenses with juice, it won't make proper contact with Mrs. Coil, and you've just entered Dry Hit City, Jack. Notice that the cotton is pressed flat a bit, so it is wide and short. More on that in a bit.

Once you close her up and trim the wicks, this is what the slots should look like. You cannot see the inside of the Diver or the cup.

Open Diver heart surgery. Now, with the wick fully primed and compressed by the top tube, here's what it looks like. Flat and wide, no gap between the coil and the cotton. Flat and wide is important: you get enough cotton feeding the coil, but it doesn't sit tall enough to get choked off when the top tube threads on. When you screw the top tube on, there should be little to no force required to thread it on. Don't force it shut. You either have too much cotton, or you did not thread it on properly.

Top view, because the Enezlis is a narcissist.

I can chain vape my BB with this 2.2 ohm coil at 4.5 volts (not even that high, I could easily run it at 4.75v and still be within my sweet spot) for drag after drag without getting any dry hits or any gurgling or flooding.

Gurgling only happens when my cotton is shot to Hades. Gurgling has become the perfect alert that it is time to change cotton. When it gurgles, I open up the Diver, and the cotton within the coil is a black lump, and comes apart easily.

FYI, I dropped it off at the post office at lunch.

Got it today! :D Thanks again. You rock!
I built a nice, simple little 2.5ohm coil using 32awg kanthal and the tiniest little bit of cotton. Vaping some diy VG liquid at 4v. I don't know if I just got lucky, but that just seemed way too easy. It's working perfectly and was super fast to set up.

Thanks Kata, I was worried mine had too much cotton till I saw these pics. Going to try a tighter coil today with even more cotton today.
