Hey what's up everyone. I recently received a Pheonix Bully rba from gotvapes and after about 2 hours of vaping it just lost flavor then smelled like burning leaves on exhale. Room note also smelled like burning leaves. i was vaping on an eGo 650mah batt with Dark City Vapors "Mountain 55" (20pg/80vg). I took the cap off and looked at the coil and it had black residue all over it.
I noticed the vapor production was not at all inhibited but it just tasted horrible.
So I proceeded to heat some water until it was on the verge of boiling then cleaned the coil. I washed first then dry burned @4.2v and repeated the wash process. After I rinsed the coil I took some very small tweezers and scraped the coil then dry burned it again. Long story short I scraped and dry burned the coil 4 times and washed 5 times. Here is what I got.
Does anyone have any tips do a newbie on RBA's and how to prevent the coil boil? I sadly don't have any a-1 kanthal on hand but I got some silica wick. Also what guage should I purchase for 1.5-1.8 ohm coils? 28ga, 30ga, 32ga?
Thank you in advance,
-James
