RDA build need help

[charliehall72]

I'm sure this topic has been covered before but I cannot find anything too specific on it short of watching a few dozen more youtube videos. I have been messing with rda's for over a month now and have yet to get a good build. I have never had a problem building my RTA's and have consistently good builds on those (hard not to on a kayfun). I bought an igo-w3 today and have tried building it quad and dual coil anywhere from .4 to .8 ohms and the vapor production and flavor is absolutely terrible. I have no idea what I am doing wrong and am using a sony vtc4 through a vanilla mod. I have attached a close up picture of the build so all of you experts can analyze it. I really want to get a good build on these because of the amount of people who love drippers and I want to be one of those people but I am losing faith quickly. Any and all help is appreciated!

Well in that dual coil build try taking a little cotton out. The more wick you have on the deck the larger the length the juice has to travel.
Try trimming it up and see how that works for you.

what did you wrap on? 1/16th bit? little hard to tell from the pic

Quad coils are a pretty large PITA to get perfect if you are relatively new to building coils. It still takes me a long time to adjust my quad setups and I have been building for a while now. How big are your air holes? Do you make sure that the air holes are placed parallel to the coils when you are running a dual coil build?

Your coil spacing looks a little loose.. May cause inconsistent heat transfer to cotton.. You do have a lot of cotton in there

Try removing all the bedding and without putting bedding in put a little less through the coils

Remove some cotton.
Also, get those coils free and closer to the airholes.
I like my coils to be within 2 or 3mm of the airholes in the top cap.
Make sure the coils are not so buried in cotton the air can't flow to them.

Thanks for the input guys. Made the above adjustments and it's working a hell of a lot better!

dry burn the coils, get them glowing red, then pinch them together with some tweezers. Should glow evenly from the inside out.
