constant burn hits/dry hits on TFV4

[slacker86]

Hi guys. i have just upgraded myself with xcube 2 mod + TFV4 tank with R2 rba. Tried to rebuild it using 26ga kanthal with 0.52ohms. now i having a problem of constant burn hits/dry hits with little to no flavour taste which i feel like abandon it and return back to subox mini. firing at 30W also giving me the same problem. Anyone here can help me??

Most of the problem should be due to wicking. Too much or too little/too long too short. Practice makes perfect!

is your cotton wicking properly?

open it up and check your cotton. Is it fully saturated ?

likely:
1) Too much cotton blocking the juice path
2) Cotton packed too tight in the coil

I had dry burns in the beginning on TFV4. After trying a few wicking method, finally can chain vape. Try out the Pancake Wicking, it solved the dry hit issue for me.

I find that the Pancake Wicking method forces me not to have too much wick in the juice channel thus reducing the blockage. After you spread out the cotton end, there is only so much wick that can go into the juice channel. The other thing to try is reduce the amount of cotton in ur coil.

This was my reference for pancake wicking.



For me my wick touches the juice channel, to prevent leaks

Took this picture of my noob build before I did the triming. (Now running with Parallel 28G Kanthal at 0.28Ω at 45W-55W)

My God. . This method possible on tfv4 single coil? The build.looks the same from the video.. isn't it too little wick? The juice will just leak no ? Please advice.
