Help with first build for Term C V2

[Lakers777]

Ok this is my first on my term, the guy at the BnM I bought it from set it up (2.4 ohm and leaked out of battery connection.) I have 32g kanthal and 2mm silica at my disposal and will be using a vv/vw device. My ceramic housing only has the ceramic showing on one side, and everything I saw showd both sides with no res res no res wire so how do I set out up? Any help to avoid the leaking and to blow fat clouds is appreciated!
Sorry for typos (on my phone)
Sorry for term please help thread but I have honestky spent 5-8 hours looking at videos and reading the 400+ page thread still feel lost.

Thanks in advance, best wishes and happy vaping!

The slots on the side of the atomizer assembly are ceramic on one side and then the SS on the other side. The Ceramic side is the wire that you attach to the positive terminal and the SS side goes to the negative terminal.

The way that juice in the tank of the term c gets to the coils is because of air pressure. When you build your terminator, you need to make sure the mouth piece is very loosely covering the atomizer base. This is your juice control, but if you tighten it too much, it will unscrew the base when you try to open up the juice control. It took me a few tries of filling the tank and screwing the top part on without accidentally screwing the mouth piece on too tight

Do you have the NR wire to join with your Kanthal?

Also check out the pbusardo vid on setting up the Odysseus. Stormys Vapor Cellar has some excellent resources as well.

O ya I have some nickel as well. Watched the vid on Stormies it just has what I believe is the old ceramic housing so I didn't want to make anything short. Makes perfect sense about the mouth piece unscrewing the base and I wouldn't be surprised if that Was the issue. Is draw just a bit more stiff than a protank and needs getting used to, or I wonder if I was having air flow issues because vapor production was minimal compared to the p-tank. Or maybe it was the 5-4 wrap the dude used originally.. super excited for my first RBA, just hope I didn't get in over my head.

I actually am using an Ithaka which has adjustable air flow. I am not sure how the Terminator is as far as adjusting air flow. Generally, the Protank has an airy draw. It is a good bet that the Terminator will have a more stiff draw than the Terminator. I know the Terminator does have airholes right where the 510 threads are at the bottom. I don't know whether you can screw it on more to partially block them or what.

The Ithaka clone was my 3 RBA that I was able to get working. I kept rebuilding it and getting burnt hits, so I would rebuild it. I posted in that thread and my problem was tightening the mouthpiece too hard. It takes some work to get it right. Also when you first fill the Terminator, make sure the juice feeder is closed (lightly!) and then start to open it a bit. Otherwise, you will get flooding.
