In one I have a 6 wrap tri core fc 3mm contact coil installed. In another I have a 4 wrap tri core fc 3mm spaced coil. Both are ss. I use KGD and/or Drago egyptian cotton. KGD I thin tails, but leave a big shoulder and just tuck into juice channels. I didn't have good luck with leaving them longer, but some do.
Something like this. Tried 3 coiøs last night and ammount cotton to get.more flavor. Kanthal fused clapton atm. 28ga. Wonder how it will performe with 26-24ga. Clapton. Wrong pic. This happened after a cotton fail.. hehe
Can take a new pic. Next time i open it up.

Yea. Like i say. It was a fail. I had to much, tried to remove some, but ended up stripping away most of it. So i made a ne wick after taking the pic.
26g ss .4 to .6 CB.
Never really worried about the wick. Seems to work fine no matter how I wick it.
(not the prettiest coil!)

Next build try moving the coil up, so the top of the coil is flush with the top of the posts.
I wish they revised this tank and eliminated the second air hole way on the other side of the coil.
Trial and error sneipen. Play with af and wattage with each new wick and same with each coil. Vape a tank and adjust coil a little. Use same wick. Vape awhile and if no better adjust the wick a bit etc. Only adjust one or the other or you won't know what finally works. Tedious I know. From your pic I can tell you I leave a bigger shoulder on my wick.
Not saying you are wrong, but did not work for me.
True, but trying to make the learningcurve shorter by learning from others.
Ok, i will give it a try next time. Should i have more length and make the cotton go a little higher than the coil?
And again, tnx for the help.
I know on my Engine, which is dual coil, I have the coils as high as I can to get the airflow hitting more of the bottom side.
This is one you have to play with.
Contrary to some, what worked for me was get the coil as close to the airhole as possible and slightly above it. Next time I build it I'm going to try to block the second air hole with cotton.
With a Zeus on the way, not sure when or if I get to it.
Zeus learning curve is very short. Loving it. Nano works for me with coil close to posts and dead center. Odd how so many have different results with same gear in hand.
The reason I made this thread was because I wicked it a few times but can't seem to get it right. I usually chain vape and after a few hits I'm getting a dry hit. I found something on reddit on how to wick it, but haven't tried it out yet, have any of you? (attaching pics)
I'll rebuild my OBS today probably, I already have the coil in place just need to wick it. Will come back with pics and stuff
I really doubt any kind of wicking will keep up with that coil and chain vaping. Good luck though. Keep us posted.I'll rebuild my OBS today probably, I already have the coil in place just need to wick it. Will come back with pics and stuff
Tails are too thick and the way you have cotton over wick holes does not allow for any air. Leave the shoulders and thin tails, trim so they sit just inside holes, make sure they have wiggle room. I've run staggered fc and four core fc in mine with no issues. With that coil you will probably need to leave af wide open.
