Built my first RDA does it look alright?

So I got a mutation x, my first set up is a duel coil 24g kanthol with a ID of 1/32 at 0.25ohm.........it hits like a beast and has some mad clouds....Does my set up look good? Did I use enough cotton or too much? How often should i dip more into it?

It looks very good for a first build !! Great job
May be the cotton tails are too long..
You drip on demand !! It depends on how you vape and what watt... You will feel it is getting dry... Then you will drip before a dry hit for sure

Alright kool thankyou man!


So the longer the tails the harder the hit?

The longer tails might hold more juice but they should not have any effect on how hard it hits.

What battery are you using. A fresh battery will draw over 16 amps, will yours handle that safely?

.25 is lower than I would go as my first build.

You did check the build on an ohm meter before you fired it and checked it again later, right.

Please be safe.

Yes I checked everything twice and checked it again and did it on a fresh battery Lg 3.7v 18650-HE2 2500mah Amazon.com: LG HE2 18650 2500mAh 35A 3.7v Rechargeable Flat Top Battery: Electronics

Loose screw in one of your posts most likely. Not having the wire cinched down snug can cause wonky ohm readings.

Just so you know that is a 20 amp battery.

Yeah if that is a 20 amp battery than it's very close to it's limit with a .25 ohm build. Freshly charged 4.2 volts you'll be drawing 16.8 amps, if the coil for some reason drops to just .20 ohms that draws 21 amps.
