Introduction!

[filipposxeil]

Hello everybody, this is my 1st post in this forum! My name is Philip and i'm a 25 years old Greek!
I've been smoking cigarets since i was 15 ( thats too early i know..).
I used my first e-cig about 4-5 years ago after i joined the army. It was an "Okey Smokey"-branded very old school dripper with no much power so i stopped using it after a week or so. About 3 months ago, i got as a present my first Nobacco BDC Atomizer with a Kumiha 1900mAh ego battery. I tried it, and was fascinated. I stopped smoking cigarets and switched to e-cigs. I've been experimenting with various juices to find what suits me best. I've come to like the following out of many:
Wanted Silver Bullet, Natura Maxxboro, Liqua Menthol, Innovation Black Label, Halcyon Haze Earth Brother.
Any suggestions would be great

I got as a present ( again, i'm lucky ) the following build:
Sophia by Leo RBA, Atmizoo Guppy Mech-mod and Atmizoo Bayoo tank. I'm new to RBA's but i started building my own coils. The flavour is great and i love the quality of materials in this build. I've been wanting to try a new APV such as iStick 50W with a Subtank Mini or the new subox Mini by Kanger.

The only problem i've had with RBA's is that after i build my coil (after following milions of tutorials xD)is that no matter if i dry burn the wick or not, i still get burnt taste for 20-30 "sips" after i insert my new-built coil and i don't know why is that. Glad to get to know this forum, and hello to everyone

hello filipposxeil and welcome to the forum. I have the 50W iStick and Subtank Mini and love them. I don't have enough experience to know why you are getting the burnt taste unless you aren't priming the wicks with a few drops of juice before firing it up. Good luck in your vape journey.

 

[filipposxeil]

That's the strange part, i always make sure to put some juice before firing it. Thanks for your reply though
One question since you have an APV. Would you prefer the iStick or some other brand? Like Smok XPRO m65 / Cloupor mini, sigelei? And would you buy from sites such as cigabuy.com, aliexpress.com ? Are they any good?

Welcome.

Check for hot legs. With no wick in the coil you've just built, fire the coil. Do the coil's legs (leading to the posts) glow before/along with the coil mass/wraps? If so, add more wraps to the next coil you install and try again. There is a "queuing" technique which can help as well.

 

[filipposxeil]

In this specific attomizer, you cannot install a coil without a wick, because you have to tear apart the coil to insert the wick if you insert it without. Check this video:

[filipposxeil]

Hey Carl! Since i'm not very experienced myself ( way less than you are ) but have tried a few, i'd suggest an APV such as eleaf istick 30w plus a good atty like Aspire Atlantis which is not an RBA and uses pre-made coils and you are ready to vape as soon as you get your juice on! but wait to hear other opinions from more experienced members here

 

[Vannie]
