evod/protank heads with cotton. i need help!

[defdock]

i have recently switched over to a RGM2, and it uses protank/evod heads.

my issue is, the stock coils are super oily so i have ben "trying" to rewick them with cotton.

im new to cotton, and im new to these bottom coils.


when rewicking i understand "less is more", but its too the point im getting super hot cotton hits WHILE the atomizer completely floods and leaks at the same time.

Def, Thundernoggin just replied to my thread with this:

Have you seen this site yet?

yes i JUST seen it a few mins after i started this thread. im going to retry wicking these again, i think my issue is with not fluffing the cotton enough.

i just find it strange that i used "too much" in the coil to choke it, yet the wick slots have "too less" and cause it to straight leak.

do you have any protips on how fluff?

Cotton needs to be just light enough to move back and forth in the coil without too much resistance. Reinstall chimney temporarily so you can screw the head into base. Trim wick just outside base diameter and use tweezers to push it into the base. You can puff it towards any open slot you have if needed and then tuck it or just place around the inside of the base if you already have enough in the slot. It just takes a little practice and you will be a pro. I do them 5 or 10 at time and once you get in the groove it goes quickly.

No idea on the oily coils or the RGM2 (Fasstech?) though. I buy genuine Kanger Mini 2s and there are over 20 of them on my counter using this method.

thats food for thought.

and yeah i was planning on rebuilding a few heads at a time, but currently am having issues with just wicking one. also just found out one the heads i have is slightly too long -.-

good info, and im finally at ease.

rewicked 3/4 heads with success, one coil head apparently was machined wrong - it dont fit into the clearo.

finally able to hit 11W on my mvp without ANY issues, silica officialy sucks.

thanks for all the help guys

quick question on rebuilding a few heads at a time. do you "juice up" your coils before you pack them away, or leave them bone dry after rebuild?

one head i built was fine, so i took it off to try a few others out, and after a 24 hour time span, it started to taste like wet laundry. is this common?

I leave mine dry and prime them with juice before installing. I also use cotton in my evod and protanks. best of luck.

my question is, how does he use THAT much cotton in the video? if i attempt with that much cotton, i get burns...



either im leaking or im burning... this is getting ridiculously frustrating...
