RDA coil, somethings wrong

[Straydonkey]

I'm new to rda's, I have a Cloud werks RDA. I'm using a GeekVape aegis solo, I put in 1 0.45 ohm Alien Clapton 32gauge A1 coil, not sure if I can put 2 coils in. Anyway I have tried 50W to 100W and get very very little vape out and absolutely massive spitback (burned the F out of my tongue). Can I install 2 coils in this tiny RDA? I need help something is really F'ed up.

Can you post a couple pictures of your build from different angles? Might be something as simple as coil height.

I tried 3 times to post pictures here, It wont work, Im still trying

This video shows a dual build. Old school rda I have no experience with so can't be of much help. If you can close off 1 side of the af it would help with a single build. Might try a vertical coil.

On those coils that have thic outer wrap wire u have to work out the hotspots veeery good and then I always put the cotton into the coil tighter than i normally do it to avoid spitback...as tight u can in order to not pull the coil ofc while u put the cotton throught it....it's big and can take lot of force without pulling it...
Also I don't know if u do it but don't overdrip it....
as I see from pic u can build double coil for sure on this rda...

You can also get hotspots running along a coil horizontally, or they may look like a crack. @Superuser187 loves his crack

I will take a look, thank you

I thought I got all the hotspots out but maybe not. I guess im going to pull out the coil and start fresh with a new one.

I wouldn't do that unless you can't block one side of your af. If you can't block that side with no coil you'll need a dual build.

IMHO wicking causes more problems than anything else - I've had spitback in my early days with too loose wicks ( you want a just sliding fit with cotton) and when the wick was touching a coil leg if I hadn't ensured that both legs pointed upwards. Too much power can also do it as can too wet a wick. Experimentation was the only answer for me and once I found a winning way I stuck with it.

Yeah I'm doing a dual build tonight

Have you tried using something like a Plain Old 26ga SS 3mm Coil?

Something is Wrong when you have to give a coil 100 Watts and you're still Not Getting a Hit.

Hope it works out for you. Nice condensed chamber so should put out some good flavor once you find the sweet spot for coil height.

I have tried 50W to 100W and get very very little vape out and absolutely massive spitback (burned the F out of my tongue).

I have 4-6 RDA's going at any given time. Getting very little vapor and massive spitback is an indication of too much juice in the RDA. Next time try it with less juice and see how that works out for you.

I agree with @zoiDman, try the RDA with a simple round 26ga 3mm coil (ss316L or kanthal). And try it at less wattage, like 30w and increase it from there. Once you get it working GOOD that way then try one of your Alien or Juggernaut coils.

Seeing as you're new to RDA's, I would seriously consider getting it working with a simple single coil before jumping into a dual coil setup.

With my RDA's setting the coil height so that the AF is hitting the bottom ~1/3 of the coil is a sweet spot. You don't want your coil too high or too low.

AF?

 

[ShowMeTwice]

AF?

AF = airflow

ah ok, lol

I have no experience with claptons or any other high mass coils but I find it hard to believe 7.7 volts on a 0.59 ohm coil isn't producing much vapor. Makes me wonder if your mod is actually putting out the 7.7 volts it shows on the screen.

... Makes me wonder if your mod is actually putting out the 7.7 volts it shows on the screen.

Probably is a Good Thing if it Isn't.

Because having a Single 18650 Mod doing 100 Watts is going to ask the Battery to provide 28 Amps or so.

And Most 18650 Batteries will get a Tad Fussy at that level of Amperage.
