I'm assuming you're using 28g? I use regulated mods, but I'm pretty sure 4.2 volts isn't enough power even for the single coil in the magma. I hit mine in single coil at around 5.1 volts running a 1.46 ohm coil, or about 17 watts. Your build looks ok, as long as its not hot spotting. Maybe try building down around 1 ohm? I also use the middle air hole, and it's one of the best vaping atty's I have.

Not related, but if you use just enough wick to hit the bottom of the juice well in the magma, I find that it leaks way less and has a much higher juice capacity. Assuming you keep in more or less vertical, that is.

I'm using my magma in my istick 30w so I'm using it around 5.5v @ 24.0w and yes 28g wire I tried it on my stingray just to see if the mod but still can't beat the dark horse but I can't run my dark horse on my istick because it supports .4 to like 3. Ohms so that why I tired to keep my magma at 1 ohm and it's not hot spotting its heating up nice from middle out and i'll try shorting the wick I'm was looking for a flavour chasing rda that's why I picked up the magma with my dark horse

Agree with TOSS your coil on the magma needs to be centred over the air hole. Also there is way too much wicking in it. You only need tails touching the bottom of the juice well. That way it will hold was more juice too.
