RDA First attempt at building! How'd I do??

[Christopher Nelson]

So I finally caved and bought an rda, I haven't ever built before today and I don't have any friends that build so I'm not sure if anything looks off.

Any who! It's a Sapor RDA, with 24ga Kanthal! Sitting steady at .47ohms and I'm running it on my iPV5! Oh my goodness, I finally see why RDA's are so popular! The flavour and vapour production are phenomenal!!

Back to the point though! Any opinions on the coils (I know it's just a basic microcoil I think but I'm still trying to figure out all of the names) or if anything looks off with the coils or wicks or whatever I'd love some feedback!

Thanks everyone!

Looks Pretty Good for a 1st Time Build.

Nice neat coils indeed.

If you look closely, you'll see a gap between wick and coil on the left side. You need thicker wicking as that little gap can cause some nasty issues.

My .02 only, but you'll prolly hear it again...

Wick this way

If it works the way you want it too.... You did a good build.....

FWIW the most perfect looking build in the world, might not vape worth a damn.

The wick does look to be a bit thin. I'd probably cut the legs tighter to the posts, too prevent potential issues. Otherwise , Vape-On.

Couldn't agree more. Sometimes my most knarly looking builds have heated up and vaped the best.

Having said that, I would have been dead chuffed with that as my very first build. Good work.
