I've been vaping for a month and I'm getting frustrated building RTA's because everything I build leaks through the air flow hole - I'm specifically talking about Rose V2 and Orchid V2 clones.
The actual building seems easy - I can create what seem to me to be perfect coils (super easy with the wrap-tight-then-squeeze-and-torch method,) I can get the coils positioned right above the air flow hole (pre-bending the legs works great,) and I'm wicking with a material that is supposed to be the best (the rayon cotton stuff.) The builds come in just under 1 ohm and they light up fast and evenly.
Example: yesterday I built two Rose V2 clones - dual small coils wrapped around a 1.4mm screwdriver, enough wick to barely fit through the coils, the 4 juice openings blocked off completely by the wicks, chimney/juice controls tightened all the way down (I don't understand how juice even gets to the wicks with the chimneys screwed all the way down let alone have the air flow hole get filled with juice) - if I fill either tank above the level of the ceramic cup/air flow hole, at some point I'm getting gurgling and then juice weeping out of the exterior air flow hole.
I have to be completely missing something - anyone have any thoughts as to what in general causes RTA's to leak through the air hole? Is this just an inevitable reality of rebuildable tank atomizers? Could it be related to me using clones and not authentics? (The Rose V2's are from two different cloners - Tobeco and I think Infinite.)
I can't find any pattern to this - sometimes I tinker with them and they leak right away...sometimes I thinker with them and they don't leak for a few hours and next thing I know the tank is emptied and there is juice all over my mod...
