So I've built a few successful genesis type rba's.
It takes me between 5 and 10 minutes to set up and pulse till every turn fires at the same intensity.
However, this is my issue. You get it to fire, and every turn is as bright as the other. The moment you add liquid, my build are back to square one. Top and bottom legs are bright red, and center turns are not really firing. Then it takes me an additional 10 minutes to try and burn them clean and pulse/poke it till it fires equally across all turns. But with the liquid in, it never really fires red, so no way to judge really.

Anyone else get this? Fires perfect when dry, by with liquid it creates hot spots and hot legs again :-(

The way to determine if you have hot spots when the coil is wet is by taste. Hot spots will make for horrible burnt taste.
