I have watched tutorial videos pertaining to Genesis RBAs, specifically, eHuman and pBusardo. I watched another pBusardo vid yesterday( the link provided by a very smart member of this forum) In it, Mr. Busardo discusses how he finally 'gets it', wrt the Genesis RBAs.
eHumans videos used to make me mad, a little bit. His videos and blog always stress having the perfectly rolled wick
and perfectly wrapped coil. According to eHuman, i am not allowed to lean my wick in to the positive pin, or leave my fill screw out. In this genesis rba game, that is considered cheating. Well, my
coil wraps are all pretty and nice on my wick. So why do I have to lean my wick in, after I start pulsing current through my set up? Why the wicking issues and these ugly little hot legs?
I have been playing with microcoils for the past couple days. 12 wrap 28g Kanthal on a 5/64 drill bit, and a firecracker ss mesh wick threaded into it. Setting up my Aga TD, and little Aga Ss was virtually effortless, with only a little brushing to get rid of hot legs.
I looked at my microcoils, and their position on my atties. They look like hair combs, standing on end. All of the wraps run PARALLEL to the deck, perpendicular to the positive post. My 4,5,6 wrapped traditional gennie setups look like CANDY CANES. All of the wraps are spaced out evenly, but you have to lean the wick in to get even wire tension and hot spot elimination along the coil.
I reset up my Aga Hydras. 60mm wide by 25mm tall, completely unoxidized wick. 6 wrap 28g Kanthal. Hand wrapped coil directly onto the wick, on the device. I left the syringe needle that I used to roll the wick inside the wick, as I wound the coil. Evened out wraps--using a little flat head screwdriver, I brushed up down side to side, the coil. Coil looked like a six tooth comb standing on end. Wick straight up and down. Very fast pulses. Little shorts along the coil, until the top of wick was oxidized. 1.2 and 1.3 Ω for the two gennies. Awesome vape. eHuman, pBusardo, and Zen videos helped me ALOT!! Peace
