Help with THC Blaze Solo. Pressurizing?

[nickdalton_]

Hello all!

New to the forum but been vaping rda/rdta's since 2012.

I just bought a THC Blaze solo a week ago. The build is basic, 24ga ss316 7/8 3mm wrap.
after 1 hit, wick slowly stops and obvisously flavor as well. I noticed that when I take the fill cap off the take, It depressurizes and wicks again. only lasts 1 hit. I rebuilt it making sure cotton isnt too tight, top and bottom combed wicks on both ends, wick touching bottom base not tight in wick channels etc. still same issue. I can only take a normal hit if I take the cap off and put back on. Its pressurized. Help me please.

Hi and welcome,

The symptom you describe is caused by too much cotton.

Try filling it only 3/4 Full and see if that helps.

And as Izan said, use Less Cotton.

Make sure to thin out the wicking tails. Close off the acf. Fill. Turn upside down couple of times, take a draw still with afc closed. Now slowly open the afc. Shouldn’t have any leaks unless your wicking is off but it’s pretty easy to wick it.

I always watch a couple of build videos of any new RTAs. It’s really helped with the new attys I’ve bought.

Good luck.

Thank you I will try to thin out more but afraid of leaks.

It is easy to wick, luckily. I thought I whined it out enough will try your recommendations. It is much appreciated.

He’s one of my definite Go To vape reviewers because I have a similar vape style as him. Good choice and I’m glad my routine helped.

Let us know if any of these suggestions worked. I hope so. Leaky RTAs are frustrating.

I tried and still no good. Any thinner on cotton and it won't fill out the coil nor the wick channel. I don't know what to do with this tank. I've never had this big an issue with a rdta, ever.

I'd still keep Thinning the Wick Tails. Even make a Gap about the size of a Toothpick where the Wick Tails go into the Deck.

Think of Pole Vaulting. You keep raising the Bar until you can't clear it. Do the same here until it Leaks.

BTW2 - Maybe I missed it? But what type of e-Liquid (VG to PG) are you using? And what type of Wattage is your Mod putting out when you get those Dry Hits?
