Hi -
So this is my first time with a high wattage device and a RDA. I currently own a Reo Grand VV, A ZNA, and a ZNA Clone. My only experience with rebuilding atomizers is with a reomizer that I use to use but I was never that good at it and after about 6 months of use went back to standard atomizers. Decided I wanted to get back into it and just got myself a Sigelei 150W TC and a Mutation X V4.
It arrived last night and I threw my first build together. I'm still waiting on my ohm reader and my coilmaster V3 from amazon which will be here today.
I did the best I could without knowing the exact diameter coil I was building. I was shooting for a 2mm 24g K 6 wrap. It came out to .3 ohms.
It took me about 30min to get the coils set up right! A little slow I know! Im having a few issues.
#1 Its just to dam hot! I'm running this at 70 watts as it seems to heat up real fast at this wattage. A little to slow when its lower than this. Is it suppose to be this hot of vapor? Or am I just not use to this High Wattage vaping. I'm coughing my lungs out here. Does the cooling adapter work on the V4. I was going to put it on tonight and give it a go. I usually vape at 25mg. I diluted my eliquid down to 6mg with VG as the throat hit was just crazy.
#2 I don't think its wicking properly. I can only get 2 hits out of this thing before I get a dry hit. Sometimes even one nice hit and its dry. Any tips on what I might be doing wrong? I made sure the cotton wasn't to tight or to loose just like I see in all the videos I have watched on youtube. How much of the ends of the cotton should I have before I tuck it into the juice well. I cut it a little longer than the base. Should I be cutting it at the diameter of the base of the mutation X or even shorter? I think I may have made the cotton to long. Maybe there is to much to properly wick. How many hits should I be getting out of this thing before I should add more eliquid? I was thinking it should be at least 5?
Also - Would making a higher ohm coil with 28g keep the vapor cooler or does that not work that way.
