need some advice please

[Psofos]

Hi,i'm on my first builds on the subtank mini rba. Made a parallel 28g 0.5 ohms coil. Vaped some custard and then some flavourless pg/vg. No spitting and stuff, best vape so far for me. Noticed my wick doesn't colour equally on both sides. Is this normal? Coil burned from inside very nicely.
Thanks.

Yes. I think the side closest to down when you tilt it to vape gets darkest.

 

[Psofos]

Even with a full tank? I mean both holes are submerged and should draw equal liquid. But i see what you mean.

 

[roxynoodle]

Its my theory . Some I don't notice any difference on. Its mostly single coil tanks where the coil is centered that I see it on. I just rebuilt my Aqua v2, and both wicks, and both sides of each wick were about the same. I also just rewicked my Flash e vs, which is single coil, and one side was darker as usual.

Ok,thanks for quick reply. It is my second rba build and i thought i wicked it wrong or someting. Even though flavour was spot on. Will see if i can rotate the deck so it can lock the other side down for testing your theory.

It is due to the specific electromagnetic qualities of the juice you are using combined with the particular latitude you are vaping at.

Let's call it a quantum mechanics thing and i'm done!

That is when it takes 4 mechanics to fix your car?

 

[Psofos]

Yes but you never know if they're fixing it until you check,or what happens when you leave. That sounds more logical than it should but whatever.

Did you leave the cat in the trunk? Is it dead or alive?

I heard some terrible stories about what happens to the cat,that's why i always leave him home. Cheers mate.

This equation describes gracefully what is happening to your coil.

No it doesn't, I lied. It models the relationship between jam jar lids and the amount of lint that collects in your belly button on a Thursday afternoon, just before teatime.

I think i'll go back to stinkies,so much easier. Pay,roll,light. Nice meeting you all guys. Be safe.

^ Can I have your unwanted Sub Tank then please?

Actually I think it might be a sign of a "hot leg" -- I noticed mine was extremely one-sided today when I re-wicked, and that side of the coil was completely black too -- when I dry burned it, that leg got very red. After I scraped some black gunk off it and rinsed/dry-burned again, it started firing equally, from middle out to the sides.

You planned this all along,didn't you?
You sneaky math equation posting person.
That's a no.

No hot legs when i dry fired it. will check again to see if it moved on wicking but very unlikely.

You didn't say what you're using for wicking -- I'm just using organic cotton, the regular stuff from cotton balls, and I notice it's got all these little "pills" in it, just little blobs of cotton -- I think those might have something to do with it.

[Psofos]

I use a strip of organic cotton pads. I have noticed the blobs you mentioned,maybe they have something to do with this. I will rewick dry burn tomorrow and see how it goes. Thanks for the info.

Most likely nothing more than one side was wicking better then the other. As long as the vape was good, then no big deal.
