32g has much less mass than 26g, it definitely cools off faster. Especially if the same resistance.
It takes 3 wraps of 32g to make 1.5 ohm, it takes 11 wraps of 26g.
32g has 4 times the resistance.

We doing Wick classes now?
PBusardo did a Wick test and comparison about a year ago. His test were not perfect, but did make some good points and revealed a few facts about differing wick materials.
My take was, and after months of use still is, Rayon is likely as good as one can go at this point.
Both Rayon and Japanese cotton(Authentic product) have near exact wicking results. There are 2 noticeable differences.
Cotton Swells
Cotton Holds liquid
Take - Either should be a good choice. Rayon however will transfer liquid more smoothly and not hold back any liquid. It seems to have a better Surface capillary action.
Just my take away.

Rayon also takes more heat before singing or burning, I asked the OP if they had tried rayon.
That's too much cotton unless it's a Scottish roll.
Maybe too much even then.

Is this better?
I noticed that when the burnt taste hit comes in, even tapping of the fire button, the slightest of sizzling can be heard. Shouldn't the sizzling die down quickly after firing? Or at least that is what I experienced in the past.

Yes a little too much ..... did you try vaping this ? Same results?

Yes that sound should definitely die down quickly after firing and the only things I have ever heard in which prolongs this is too much or too little cotton, or too much power going it mod. How stable is the resistance according to the mod as you fire?

It is about the same results. Unless I increase the wattage, the vapor isn't that spectacular. But I am keeping the wattage low for now.
I'd say the resistance is pretty stable. 0.98 when it cools and when fired up, 0.99.
Are you holding the mod to your ear to listen for sizzle? If so, stop. The wire does have to cool..............and you may have better hearing than many assume.
After seeing your builds, My concern now is your interpretation of Burnt hits.
A burnt hit is not something one would ordinarily ignore and continue vaping past.
True burnt hits are NASTY and ruin Cotton wicks.
Did you get New wire when you received the New RDA?
Are you wiping the wire clean(alcohol) and Dry wiping with a Paper towel before building? Dirty/oily residue can impart nasty taste.
Are you doing good dry burns on new coils?
Are you OVER Dry burning? This leads to Center grommet Melt and Nasty taste.
I'm starting to believe you keep trying to fix something that is not broken and missing the actual issue.
I didn't really put it near my ear, but its somewhat hearable from my chest area. I could have better hearing, But small pops are going on in there.Are you holding the mod to your ear to listen for sizzle? If so, stop.

Yes, I did get the wire along with the rda. I also gave a few wipes before using it. Should I torch the wire? I've seen people doing that.
I dry burn but not to the point where it is glowing bright red and leaving a mark in my eyeball, lol.
But the burnt hits are coming in slowly after each puff thats for sure.
I would try a Torched piece or if possible - Old stock - at this point.
Some Kanthal is stellar, but some Could be - once cleaned up.
I only purchase Temco Kanthal A1 for that reason. Very clean wire.
I've gotten a similar experience with a couple of my rtas...mainly with the goblin mini. It's gotta be a wicking thing cuz when it happened I would take a few primer puffs and it would go away for a few hits then come back. I did notice the sizzling a little long after I stopped firing as you have explained. I can't figure it out either but I assume it's a wicking issue. Currently I'm not having any issues, but this has happened to me as well
It has been a strange issue for sure... and everything that we think he should do, he does and has the right answers unlike maybe a noob. He seems to have tried it all for sure and the strange thing is that it's happening on a couple tanks and mods. It sounds like you said, a wicking issue, especially with that louder and longer then usual sizzle. I mean all tanks will continue to vaporize after releasing the fire button, but when you can clearly hear it louder and longer without bringing it up to your ear, that usually is a wicking issue... or it could be insufficient air getting to coil but that doesn't seem to be the case either.

Is all the juice your using new? Or have you been vaping this same lot successfully before

Here is my current build with torching of the kanthal. This is before juicing it up. Right now its reading at 0.96-0.97.
Not sure if its a wicking issue as I should have as least gotten it right once. When I change the wick, the center of it looks slightly brownish but still slightly saturated at the same time.
The build here looks slightly too much but thats because I fluffed it out a little as I tried to make it less denser in the center.

When changing wicks, it is normal to get some coloration where the coil was, I think it's more of a vaporization color then it being burned. I always see a slightly brown spot when changing and as I run the old wick under the faucet, it's pure white again all over. I say that looks good , maybe like you said , at tad too much and see no reason that should have issues. After vaping these current wicks for a while and as you go to change them, do they slide out super easily from coil? Does it move the coil alot as you remove it? Just curious if the cotton is remaining the same, puffing up, or kind of thins out after use.
