Well,I did look at it once or twice. Pretty much decided I wouldn't use it.Already knew that Fran.
I will drop the INW %
Actually you want some tension, just enough to barely move the coil. The wick needs to be touching the entire inner diameter of the coil. Leave a shoulder at each end of the coil and thin the tails a bit.
It looks like you may have pulled the wick away from the end coils,
that could cause some burnt harshness. If so you can probably push some back into them while the wick is wet. I push it back into them and kind of fluff up the top to negate any tug I had getting it into the holes before priming.
I'll see if I can get it better with the zeus.
Wrapping coils is the easy part, wicking has a bit of a learning curve. Don't get frustrated, just shrug and do it over until you hit the sweet spot. When learning to build and wick if you tweak only tweak one factor at a time otherwise you won't know what actually worked. BTW each rta has a different sweet spot.
Put a couple ml of Cappuccino in a Subtank.
It might have coffee build in the wick enough but right off I'm thinking another 1% still. It's right on the edge of being a nice mellow coffee and not having enough. Definitely beats Caramel Cappuccino on the creamy and caramel.
Almost put Espresso in first. Then I figured that will probably coffee up the wick forever. Best to start low. Tiramisu next. Espresso last.

I'm liking VTA coffee liqueur. The coffe is up front with a nice caramel/vanilla note and a liqueur exhale. It is a bit sweet, I have a mix with cream steeping. Also trying it with Pur caramel coffee w/ sweet milk to boost the coffee.
Something else, the coils look pretty shiny, did you pulse them to glow (not bright, just a dull glow is good enough) to get the hot spots out? You have to pulse and strum claptons to stop the power jumping through the wrap. It's not as bad with spaced single claptons but hot spots still can happen.
This is sweet enough to not make me think of sweetener. I made the TFA without sweetener to add later but I'm not sure it can work without it from what I'm remembering, I have it at 2% in my old recipe.
I was tempted by Kahlua flavors. I drank a lot of instant coffee and everclear (cheap homemade kahlua) in college because beer did not play nice with my guts until I started homebrewing.
You know I don't think I did with that build but I usually do. I didn't remember until I had the wick primed and I didn't want to start over with the wick lol.
I just went through that bad last night setting up a dripper to taste new flavors with alien touching. It was a light show with hot spots jumping around the first pulse. I found out RX200 will kick you out of temperature mode if the coil isn't acting right.
I FINALLY got all my flavors organized in the 2 cases now. I was surprised by a few flavors I had that I didn’t have in my Flavor Stash. I used the list to organize the flavors. Figured it would be easier to check and see what and how much I have if it’s set up in same order. I used empty 10mls bottles as place holders for flavors in large bottles in my fridge that I’ll transfer to the smaller bottles next mix session. That way all the flavors will be in cases, easy to find and easier to work with.
Ejuice Calculator can track inventory and warn you when running low. I never remember to click that button as I mix.
Sometimes I go through and measure and update. Then the next time I forget to push the button. I've given up.
Homemade Kahlua was my annual christmas gift to everyone back in the day.
Me too, can't figure how to make it auto adjust mls used. I did finally put a list of the overflow stash in the fridge on my computer.
Sorry to muck up this thread. I'll start a new on in the tank forum. Thanks for the replies here.
Or you could try turning up the watts so the ejuice is heated quicker and does not leave any sitting on top of the coil to spit back. If you get a slightly burnt taste then its not enough cotton and hittmans answer is the correct one.
