First rebuildable atomizer

[lopenator]

Hey everyone, I have bought a rebuildable atomizer. My first one. I am having problems with the flavor of it and the taste. It's also giving me a nasty headache lol. I have previously owned protanks always. I am getting little vapor and a weird nasty taste from this rebuildable atty, but it's not a burning taste. I cannot figure out why this is happening. I was thinking maybe I have to make it dual coil, but I would much rather use a single. Heres my set up. Thank you in advanced.
I have tried cotton, this one in the pic is silica. I tried making the coils more spread apart, looser, close together. All the same result.

what resistance is your coil?

Sounds like a wicking problem really.. Can you get a picture a little closer to the actual coil?

 

[lopenator]

yes ill get one up in 3 minutes

 

[lopenator]

the resistance is 2 ohm

What about airflow? You want your air hole lined right up on the coil. You want one air hole. Maybe just a little more tails on your wick, to pick juice up.

I dont think i can really manipulate the airflow. The holes on the chamber are lined up with the one on the bottom. There is a hole right next to the coil.

do you have any hot spots/hot legs with a dry wick/no wick? + the air flow thing.

Before I put the liquid in, when I dry burned, the red on the coil started from the middle then worked its way out. It took like 2 or 3 seconds to get red.

There are four airholes around the tank. I dont think i am sure about what you mean by I need one.
If it is a wicking problem, how should my wick be? Can you tell what might be wrong by the pic?

I appreciate your help everyone

does it glow anywhere when fired wet? top it off and fire it with the cap off in a dark room. that positive lead is really long...

No i do not see it glowing red when its wet. It is vaping though.

sorry about double post..my browser resent it.

is your wick dropping down into the tank a little ways? It's a little hard to tell from the picture if it stops short of the hole to the tank or if it's just turned translucent.

if you drip a few drops of your juice on the wick directly, put on your cap and take a vape, does it still taste bad, or does it taste good for a couple toots?

 

[lopenator]

it looks like its sticking above the bottom of the tank more so. it should be lower? how would that change the vape? maybe itll be closer to the air hole? when i drip liquid on the coil it still taste bad. ill get new pic up

I'm still pretty new to RDAs myself, but I'm thinking your wick looks a bit dry at the tips, and awfully short - have you considered making the wick a bit longer, with maybe 8-10 mm sticking out from each end of the coil to sop up juice from the base platform? My best guess is that the nasty taste you're getting is a dry hit from your wick not being thoroughly saturated...

 

[lopenator]

I will try making it longer. Thank you for the input

Edit: I dont think my wick is dry, plus its not tasting burnt. I would even drop a few drops directly on top of the coil. The taste would get worse. Could maybe some of you guys put pics up of your builds so I can look at them?

 

[lopenator]

Guys, Im thinking my atomizer just isnt built good lol. Could you recommend me to a good one? I was checking out the RSST

 

[superstardj]

The atomic blew me away and is good for single or dual coils...
