Kylin mini problem

[dimdes]

today i bought the kylin mini rta i build it but when i refil the tank in the first 3-4 puffs i have huge spitback and then after the firtst puffs it vape great without any spitback. any ideas why this is hapening?

When you close the fill cap, it can force extra juice into your wicksbecause of the air pressure, causing slight flooding which will cause spitback. If you leave some air in the tank when filling it, that can help stop that issue. I also used to vape my rtas until the wicking was dry before refilling, and this also helped stop slight flooding as well.

If the problem persists after following Zaryks advice, or you’re getting spit back after it’s been sat for a while, check your wicking. This rta can be a bit fiddly with the wicking, but when you get it right, it is a very good tank. The wicking has to be snug in the coil and the wicking channels, but not to tight else you get dry hits; too loose and the wicking saturates and you get spit back.

no dry hits at all and this prob is only for the 3 first hits after that vapes like a normal rta

If that is the case, I would do what budgie suggested and experiment with the wicking, you could be surprised how slight adjustments to your wicking technique can effect performance.

i have a spaced build in the deck its as low as it can be but maybe its because is a spaced build?

 

[Budgie]

I use a spaced coil on mine, and the coil is sat low, the times I’ve had problems have been because of the wicking. What I do now, and I’m not saying it is the best way, but it works for me is I use 2.5mm dia coils, when you get your cotton thro the coil, you don’t have to thin it out, just fluff it up, wet it with juice and lay it in the wicking channel. I’ve done this a few times now, and it works for me.

 

[Budgie]

In fact I tell a lie, it’s a 2mm coil.

does it have to touch the deck or just hanging ?

 

[Budgie]

The wick ends should lay just below the coil retaining screws, the picture doesn’t show it that well. Give me 5 mins and I’ll take another pic and post.

 

[Budgie]

Not the clearest of pictures, but I hope this helps. It's worth working on this, as it is a V good tank.

thanks for the pic realy helped me but i also fill the tank with a difernet juice and that seems to fixed the prob. i will try my other juice and check if it was my fault or something with the wick

 

[Budgie]

Good luck, and happy vaping.

Glad to hear it.

I usually raise my coils up off the deck slightly, not touching. I'm not familiar with your atomizer though, so as to the ins and outs I will leave it to others.

Certainly also attempting some wick adjustments can be useful, if for nothing else than you will build your coiling and wicking skills as you go. Sometimes, it can be too much, too little, or even just a wick breaking in, I'd think, depending on what material you are using.

Best of luck moving forward.

Placing the coil low, about 1-2mm above the deck places the coil nicely in the middle of the airflow vent curve. I think if you have the coil too high you will lose some of the benefit of the airflow.

Hanging. If it touches the deck ejuice will be able to flow into the airholes and you'll get leakage.
