So I have this avocado I am trying to make work for 2 months now.. I've tried everything from less cotton, more cotton, different cotton, different wraps, space between wraps, no space between wraps.. but its still spitting and flavour is muted. After I wick it its great for about 15 min and then it start spitting again. Could somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

The mod is Asmodus Minikin V2, Dual clapton coil, 2,5 mm, 8 wraps, 0,43Ω, 3,89V, vaping in between 28-32W. Thanks
muted flavor would mean more watts are needed or a bigger build. or you can close of some airflow
spitback is kinda normal on RDTAs a bit but shouldn't be much at all, spitback is due to flooding
overall though your build looks pretty good so i'm not sure why you are having these issues
EDIT: just seen your wattage, you aren't using enough watts. try raising it a little by little until you find your sweet spot
Thanks for the reply. I tried raising the watts but still the same.. I tried from 28 till 55 and still no change. Its getting even worse with high watts. So weird isn't it? What about the flooding you mentioned? How this can get fixed? I can't understand if needs more cotton or less cotton.. either way gives a lot of spitback. What about the coils.. how they suppose to be? Mine get hot(red) in about 4-5 seconds after I press the button.. does that seem normal or should they light more slow? Also could you please explain me about the wraps.. how many wraps should I do? And what diametar coil is best for clapton wire? Thank you!
I tried.. it seems like I get even more spitback but definetly got better flavour. Also with higher watts I get a little burnt aftertaste
Are u dripping on it? It's gonna spit back until it clears off the excess juice or you can just take a paper towel and wipe down the coils

Yes I do drip on it sometimes and you are right, it makes things worse but even if I don't drip its really bad.. you know at first when I wick the coil with fresh cotton the first 5-6 puffs are awesome.. no spitback, smooth puff.. but after it just start to go crazy..
Could you please provide more info about claptons? What is inner and outer diameter of a wires in your clapton coil?
There are some wrong claptons with very thick outer wire, like 0.2mm (32 AWG) around 0.32mm (28 AWG).
The inner wire can't heat outer wire properly and you got spit.

Something does sound right. Anyway u can take some pics of the build and wicking?

Hi, thanks for the answer. This makes so much sense to be the problem cause yesterday I decided to go and get some Kanthal just to try and guess what.. I can finally vape.. and its perfect. So I guess or the clapton was faulty or I just can't coil it properly..
Please find attached picture of the clapton I am using.Attachments
Hi, thanks for your answer. Here is a picture of it using clapton wire. Still can't figure out what was wrong with it but the good news is that yesterday I went to get some Kanthal and surprisingly works great with it.. I can finally vape after two months of struggling, 45 ft of wasted clapton and tons of wasted cotton

Yes I am using 70/30 VG/PG cause I hate high PG juice.
But since I fixed it now using Kanthal it works great even with 90/10 VG/PG 
Glad u got it workingHi, thanks for your answer. Here is a picture of it using clapton wire.

Sometimes just plain ole kanthal works best.Yes I am using 70/30 VG/PG cause I hate high PG juice.
I've noticed that if I build with 24gauge I go through wicks too fast. With 26 gauge, I rewick about every two weeks. I make our juice, so no extra sweeteners to gunk up my wick.
