rm2 build problem

[kinggirl]

So, I have a coil that I built the other day. Works great went through a whole bottle. Put new juice in, new wick (dry burned the coil) and after every sqounk I get 1-2 hits max and on the second one its burning. Like, dry burn I guess is what it's called. I changed the wick again, same thing. The last wick I had I was getting 3 good hits. Not sure if my wick is too big or small. What typically causes this?

Possibly a hot spot. Try to wet the wick and fire it with the cap off. Take a look and see if you spot anywhere that the coil turns red. If that's the case, you may want to tamper with the coil a bit to make that hot spot disappear.

Also... Check out what posted a while ago.

Thank you! will check that out.

Thank you! will check that out.

Don't mention it. Keep us posted. If that didn't fix it, I'm sure something will.

My screws are tight and nothing is glowing red when I fire it. Thoughts?

 

[el_lou]

You did say the first and second hit after a squonk is good, right?

I'm kind of stumped after that. I'm reading all of these dry burn posts and I don't get it. I've never had one.

Can you post a pic?

Here's a post from another thread that you may want to check...

Only thing I can think of is to make sure your wick isn't too thick and choked down at the coil. If you have too much cotton it won't wick properly. A good test I've used is right after you insert the wick and it's still dry, add a couple of drops of juice on one end only. You should see it wick it's way through the coil to the other side within 2 - 3 seconds. If it doesn't come through it's too tight.

Here's yet ANOTHER helpful hint for this situation

The pics super-x is asking for would be helpful for sure. The issue I was having was not with the screws in the posts, but the posts themselves being loose. They are screwed in to the base of the RM2 and can loosen. Take a small pair of pliers and gently tighten them to make sure they are snug. Hopefully, that might help with your burning issues - assuming the problem is a hot leg on your coil.

It's a little blurry where I should be looking.

Did you check if the cotton is to tight?

Also check if those posts are screwed in. Not the screws, but the whole post.

Can't really make out where the coil is in relation to the posts and deck either.

This better?

Try adding a bit more pressure on the Squonk and hold it there for a couple more seconds and let the wick saturates more . You should be able to hear the bottle sucking the juice back when you release your thumb .

You might try moving your coil a little bit more right and closer to the air hole, (edge of the deck), to where the tail on the left is right at the edge of the juice hole also.

Don't think I've ever said this but post #15 looks like you may not have enough cotton in the coil. Looks like it is just laying in there like a wet noodle. Is the cotton making contact with the coil all the way around? If not it won't hold enough juice for more that 1 hit.

I agree with what was said here^^^
