rda help please

[GodOfThunder]

I asked this question in another forum, and I hope it is ok that I ask it here as well...

"I did a search and didn't see anything related...

After using clearomizers for a bit, I finally decided to venture into mech mods and rdas...I got vapemail today and got my nemmy clone, along with Igo-W clone. I've rebuilt a handful of Kanger atomizers in my ProTank II, Protank mini, and Evod for my Vamo V5 and eGo-C...using micro coils and getting around 1.5 ohms., So I think I'm step above beginner when it comes to making coils.

Now my Igo-W clone has only one, very small air hole. I know I need to bore it out, as well as drill another if I plan to do dual coils. With that said, excited to use my 1st rda, I built a twisted 28g. kanthal, 10 wrap coil using a 5/64 drill bit (1.17 ohms)...I've tried organic cotton, and P&C, like I have on the Kanger atomizers, made sure to add e-liquid before firing...only this time, everytime....it tastes burnt. Could this be because of the smaller airhole? (I did try boring it out a little with my dremel, ending up with a nice new scratch on my new clone) I don't think I'm choking the coil ( I know less is more when it comes to cotton)...I'm at a loss...

Also, when it comes to adding a second airhole, what do you recommend to ensure the holes align?

thanks in advance!!"

It sounds to me like you have too much cotton in there and it is choking the coil. The smaller air hole should allow more juice to enter when you take a drag so since that didn't happen than I'm thinking your wick is choked. Try less cotton and see what happens.

As far as the second air hole, I would just eyeball it. I don't think it has to be perfectly aligned with the other one. I would try less cotton before drilling that second air hole. It might not be necessary.
