Atomic RDA little vapor bad taste and super harsh

[Frankenclyde]

Hey Vets as the title says i am using an Atomic RDA and getting very little vapor and harsh bad tasting at that. i have used builds from .56 - .86 with the same outcome. its on a mini hammer with an Efest 18350 3.7v 700mah. ive done a "sleeper" coil, Nano Dragon, and tried doing just 2 micro coils. all with the same results. ive also noticed that no matter what i do both coils dont fire at the same time no matter the amount of tweaking. i have been torching my coils before putting them on except with the "sleeper" as it is one strand of wire. and my juice is "Absolute Pin" 50/50 12mg from Five Pawns.

Thanks in advance

What diameter coils are they and what kind of wick are you using? Have you checked for hot spots?

You didn't give us much to work with here Frankenclyde.

The only thing I can say for sure is the only time I've had coils not light up at the same time when they were dry and there was no wick in them was when I had wrapped an extra wrap on one or a post screw was loose.

Is the RDA new? Did you clean it before use? Have you ever had a good vape from it? Have you used other RDAs successfully before? Are you aligning the air holes with the coils? What gauge wire are you using? Does a single coil do OK?

Too many unknowns here for me to give you anything but questions.
