I figured out sub forum has gotten terrible boring and mundane; it's mostly troubleshooting threads or fools begging for sources for juice and kits. I kinda wanna see smth more exciting. So...
I wanna see what you folks are building on your rda, rta. Heck, if you've figured out some ultra fancy way of rebuilding a protank, I wanna see it too! Even better if you end up posting a nice little step by step guide on how to do it. Of course, if you wanna show a picture of how it performs, snap a selfie if it tickles your fancy; just don't be a goodu and post one with your face clearly visible.
To start things off, I have a Double 32ga twisted kanthal, 7 wraps, 1.3 ohms. vertical build.
The single most impt thing: the coil must must must be aligned with the airhole
My little secret to ensure success. A lot of people fail and say that the airflow is horrendous even after aligning the coil with the hole. That's because during the wicking stage, the cotton gets caught between the airhole and the bottom of the coil. Leave the drill bit in it while wicking, and you're guaranteed a clear air channel
Unfortunately, the nature of the build is such that the top leg is extra long because it has to come down to the screw. So that leads to a hot leg. Place a wick over (it reaches down to the deck on both side). Extra vapor!
And of course, the vape:
Interesting I've learnt about the vertical build is that less isn't always more. Unlike in normal microcoils where using too much cotton will choke the coil and lead to dry hits, there is absolutely nothing to get choked here.
You can see here that the build got pretty fat and bulky at the end.
Just from simple trial and error, I found that getting a fatter wick around the coil gives me a slight wetter and definitely way more saturated vapor. It's almost like im eating it. Very very flavorful. Wicking is also not at issue at all. I've got Boba's bounty on this sucker and she's working sweet.
