I used one of my larger little screwdrivers, just under 3mm, wound a .73Ω, 5wrap 26ga and threaded my 3mm wick in, trimmed short, just about 1/8" beyond the coil, and about 1/4" past it on the other side. Positioned the coil just low enough for the longer side to barely touch the deck. I used some unflavored and primed it and burned it a couple of times and it was good to go and it's been doing fine. With 3mm, I get enough that I don't have to squonk but every 3 lung hits. Seems to be doing well.
I take a tiny screw driver stick it down the center of the wick, wrap the coil around it, squonk it till it's literally sitting in juice, fire it up, torch the ..... out of my lungs. I keep squinting, and lung torching until it eventually holds the juice. Wth I ask myself because I never have that issue with the 3 mm. Once I get it to wick good it's good from there on out but good night that takes a heck of a lot of lung torching to get to the good stuff!! UGH!!
Sennie, I think theres a chance you might be choking the wick when you wrap it. From my understanding if the coil is wrapped around the wick too tight the xc loses a lot of its ability to wick well. If you can make a coil on something else then slide the wick in it wicks well. I use a 16 gauge luer and 2mm wick and its been the cat's meow.
I bought my first Readyxwick at Dcvapefest and built a dual coil with it the next day. I have been using this dripper exclusively every day since to test how long my coils and wick would last. Well tonight I finally popped the coil. Readyxwick still looks great. The kanthal gave out before the wick that's for sure. So happy with this product. Most revolutionary thing that has happened for my vaping, since I started vaping. I love this stuff.
Readyxwick is for vaping
Cotton is for tampons.

Having a devil of a time with this stuff. I’m about eight tries in so far.
Best I’ve gotten is with a 1mm screwdriver stuffed into 2mm rxw. Seven wraps of 32guage kanthal gives me a 1.6Ohm coil. The rxw slides easily back and forth after removing the screwdriver- not quite snug. I can see the channel when I look down the center of the wick. A gentle shake and the wick will move back and forth before I put the chimney on. Not tight at all, but not so loose that it falls out.
I’m using a russian91%. The wick is about 1 inch- the ends are aimed down to the deck running along the sides of the chimney. The coil is set at a slight angle to the screw posts so the wick is not terminating directly over the channel holes, just off to their sides.
The first pull is always delicious (VCV tobacco caramel all VG) with a thick cloud. All pulls after are producing vapor but almost no flavor. If I wait a few minutes while rotating the atty ( I imagine I’m causing juice to sloose into the chamber by doing this) and maybe a squonk or two, I’ll get another nice flavorful hit. But the next one is just ‘blah’ until I repeat the process.
I’m guessing the wick is just not wicking fast enough? I’ve tried tamping down the airflow, opening up and in between. Raising the coil up to 2mm off the airhole, and lowering it to just .5mm (caused flooding) Nothing seems to work.
At this point I’d have to say the flavor and cloud density from my EVOD is much better and more consistent. Which is pretty sad considering how much cash I’ve put into this rig!

I had better luck with the 3mm ReadyxWick. The 2mm didnt work for me no matter what I tried. Sorry you're having so many problems.
My fix (and thank God because I was about to give up on this wick) was:
Cut one of the ends off of a Q-Tip and use the shaft to wrap a coil around. Mount this coil and then twist in some 3mm wick. Slide something thin through the wick to open it up a bit (i used the smallest mandrel from the Coil Gizmo) and squonk a few times before vaping. From then on, no problems wicking and all is well.

i'm getting kinda hot, now...
Bahahaha I re-read what I wrote and there are a couple words that were spell checked and I missed it. If I was reading that without knowing what it was about I'd be like wth?! So I'm laughing with ya buddy!! lol
Yeah I loved the 3mm so I'm thinking that since that works so well I'll stick with it. And yes, the 2mm can move around so I'm not sure what's going on with it. Now if my throat would just heal... ugh
Thanks to you, Sennie for sending me that 3mm to try. Thanks to JC Okie for sending some 2mm also. You guys rock.
Incredibly informative thread. Is there a sticky on wicking materials somewhere?
Also, why is this in the Reos forum? Silly rabbits, wicks are for everyone...

I got the definitive answer for myself on spaced or touching coils.
I've been using the same two coils and wicks for about two months now with only the occasional dry burn to clean. I just picked up one of my other mods with the same RBA and ohm coil that I know had Readyxwick in it. I kept getting dry hits, took me awhile to catch on and look, this coil was built as a micro with touching wraps and the other two were spaced, all wrapped on 1/16th using 2mm wick.
I'd gotten so used to the longer performance between squonks of the spaced coils that I was not squonking the touching coil often enough. So I ripped that coil out and put in a proper "ugly coil"

Thanks for this...On some of my older coils (touching) I need to squonk more often as well. I dry burn them and it gets better but still doesn't last as long as I would like. If the flavor is equal or better I am going to make the switch myself.
could be my imagination but I feel I get more flavor and can notice the subtle parts of the flavor better. But I'm not a huge flavor guy either. I either vape unflavored nic or Ikenvape RY4 gold.
EDIT: that reminds me, it's about time to break out some of the monkey poo I've been rationing.

So that's what it is...
I'm also at the 2 month mark with my Zenesis System Mini Genesis Tank. No dry hits and I've never even dry burned it, I've just been topping off the tank with the same juice.
Amazing stuff...
lol well ok you enjoy the monkey poo....I just built a 28ga 6 wrap spaced on a 1/16 at .83 ohm with unflavored on a IGO BF.....It is a nice vape
Also…this video was just posted a few days ago by RBA Supplies.

Yeah I got some of Xobeloot's cigar extract he calls NEMP, Naturally Extracted Monkey Poo, before he was deployed.
