RDA Mutation X V4 - How to stop this dangerous spitting?

[Sida]

Hi guys

I've been using this build on my Mutation X V4 rda for over a month now. Dual coil twisted A1/Ribbon reading at 0.32ohms. It's a great vape but the spitting/popping is getting dangerous.

The hot vapor doesn't spit from the drip tip but actually through the side air holes, both the bottom airholes and side airholes. When the rda is flush on my SXMini M Class the side holes face me and away from me and I get boiling hot liquid hitting my chin from the front holes and at my eyes from the rear holes. If I turn it 1/4 rotation so the holes are facing the side I just get crazy spitting out to the sides flying everywhere.

I've rewicked it since this but it's pretty much the same.

What can I do about this? It's really going to blind me at some point.

Edit: Btw to give some idea about the wicking I clip the cotton at the edge of the deck then tuck it in and use Drago cotton.

Not enough power/ too much air for that build. Either up the power, close down the air, or build with less mass.

I'm running it at 50w with the bottom airflow holes fully open and the side holes 50% open. I'll try 60w and see if it helps.

Hmm I haven't had a spitting problem with mine, but I'm running a 24g parallel single coil, 3mm ID eight wraps .35 ohms. I have also been using only the bottom airflow for the side with the coil only, mmm flavor is so good!

Ik this has nothing to do with the post but its funny

Yeah I love this thing, this is the best vape from any build I've ever done. Even with it absolutely demolishing my e-liquid at 50w I can't stop vaping on it. I'm trying 60w now and it actually seems to have made a difference, but it hasn't been long enough to tell for sure. Not sure if I'll be able to afford running it at 60w lol I work from home so am vaping most of the day.

I rarely take my dripper to work with me, but I am a field service tech so I'm driving most of the day. I burn through Herakles tanks chain vaping ghostberry whenever I'm in my truck.

Just fyi, I've learned over time that some juices spit and pop alot, and some dont

It may be a wicking density thing, spitting is usually a sign of it.

Try different wick density, maybe you need more. Make sure the air can pass under the coil too. It's also possible you have too much liquid on the wick, over saturated wicks can do that too. After I drip I usually give it a short fire to let all the liquid on the surface soak in if it hasn't yet. You can also exhale for a split second through the drip tip to reduce spit back if it's bad.

Never had any spitting issues on my V4... The issue usually (in my little experience) is a thin juice. I tried vaping some Hangsen juice (70 pg) and it was popping and spitting like a deep-fryer. Wasn't planning on really vaping hardcore, but just wanted to see if the juice was any good.

I still vaped it and once I dripped a Max VG juice, it gave a nice low hiss.

I'm boring with my builds, usually dual macro coils, sometimes twisted macro, anywhere from .5 down to .25 (not often though). After the initial cold fire, I never get a pop.

Maybe this will help?

Twisted builds spit. Do tension micros or macros problem eliminated.

it could also be the coils you made. theres nothing wrong with them but juice can sit on the twists and spit when heated off of the metal. its not the rda. i have one and have every build imaginable in it. good luck.
