Blotto single coil wicking

[PartyMan1]

Having problem wicking my blotto without it leaking.
I'm using a single coil fused clapton 0.3ohm (3.0 6 wraps 26g) also have 0.25ohm 24g.

Well I'm using cottin bacon and I try to get the most amount of cotton I can through the hole and also tried fluffing it out but its like its not enough cotton still to block the exceptionally wide juice ports enough. The only way ive got it to not leak (today) is by tearing off a couple little extra pieces of cotton and sticking them in the juice ports to help block them more but idk how good that'll work. No dry hit so far but I haven't used it much today yet.

Any tips? I thought of trying dual coil so that theres just more amount of cotton but with my size coils I think I can only fit 1 anyway. Would rather just do a single pieces of cotton.

@PartyMan1, is that a Blotto or Blotto Mini?

the regular blotto i believe.

Thanks for that @PartyMan1, the Blotto is a dual coil from what I know. So that's probably why you're getting issues.

Just cannot for the life of me remember exactly what ID the reviewers were using for coils, I think that it may have been around 2.5mm though.

But after a bit of trawling the net, folks seem to like 4mm coil ID for single coil.

So it may well be worth trying that as well @PartyMan1, folks say that you don't have to mess with the wicking too much.

I run my blotto with a 3mm inner diameter coil, and it really comes to life flavor wise in my opinion with a single coil built that way. It will leak mind you, but there is a little cheat you can do to stop it. Take a small amount of cotton and stuff on both sides of your wicking. I picked that up from a reviewer on youtube and it works.

The way I do it is once I get the coil itself wicked and the ends of the wick are placed in the juice channels, I moved the wick over to one side and put a small wad of cotton on one side. Then I push the cotton over to the wad of cotton side and place some on the other side. I've tried the blotto with dual coils and while the flavor is decent it's nothing compared to having a single coil in the middle.

If you go to 3.5mm it does seem to be just enough cotton to keep it from leaking but flavor is so much better with a 3mm coil.

Leaking is almost always due to wicks being too short, and too long leading to dry hits.
I have the Blotto mini with two coils and found some experimentation was required to get the right wick length.

Try running a 3.5mm - 4.0mm coil. That little bit of extra wicking required could make the difference. not to mention there's plenty of room for a big single coil since it really is a dual coil rta. Good luck and Happy Vaping
