I just bought an Arbiter 2. I had some premades, so I slapped them in, wicked them, thinned the wick, etc... and super bitter flavor. I'm also struggling with spitback. The coils read at .29. There's something I'm doing wrong and I can't figure out what.
HALP HAALP ME PLLLEASE. Arbiter 2. What am I doing wrong?

Don't use that one, but... 
Spitback is generally a sign that there's too little wick. And that could be the cause of the bitter taste as well, since you're getting a hot drop of juice instead of vapor.
Each? That would yield 0.14ish for the tank, and without a lot of air, going to really hot and, ime, not at all tasty. Of course, at 0.29 total, you still need a lot of air.

No, it was .29 for a pair. When I give ohms, it's what the mod reads.Don't use that one, but...

I changed it out to a single coil @ .58, same problem. Extremely muted flavor. Put the same juice in my Freemax and flavor for days.
Gotcha.
Some tanks are more forgiving....

Hello everyone. I’m here today with my very first review for OXVA. I am fairly new and inexperienced when it comes to OXVA devices. My sole OXVA item that I owned before now was the Arbiter Solo. I was sent the OXVA Arbiter 2 for the purpose of...

it's been quite sometime since I put a new build in my OXVA arbiter II but from my fuzzy memory I would say trim your coils leads to 5.5mm, dual 3mm ID, coil placement is huge on the arbiter II you want them closer to the honeycomb air than to each other so that the majority of air is drawn down around the coil on both sides then up through the center from in between. as far as wicking goes the key is thin your ends until atleast 1/3rd of the cotton is removed on the ends, take your time fanning out the wick into one wide thin layer using your thumbnail underneath as support and the point of closed tweezers to comb the fibers out straight. after the comb out trim your wicks so they are just long enough to stay in the wick wells don't try to fill up the entire space to the bottom. I will upload a photo in my next post with how I cut my wick ends in particular for that style rta
