smok tfv4 rba single coil build

[petefeet]

Hi there.need a little help.
I'm using a cuboid with a tfv4 tank running the rba coil.
When I'm holding the fire button for maybe after 3 seconds I'm getting a bit burnt taste.
I've tried nichrome 24 ag and kanthal 24 ag with 5/6 wraps.works fine for a little while.im wondering if there hsnt enough juice getting to the rba head.any suggestions would be great.ty

well, how many watts are you running at?

Don't let the wicks drop down into the channel. Just let them down as far as the deck. Run mine at 42.5 watts and never have a problem. What watts you running yours at? Cotton to tight it wont wick fast enough. I use Rayon a lot on mine. Rayon does not swell up when it gets wet. CHEERS!

Sounds like a wicking issue... The rba for the tfv4 is tricky to wick...so if you don't practice then you will be getting dry hits. The best way I have found is to put the cap on and cut at the lines imprinted on your wick... And cut them at a downward 45 degree angle so that only a tip of the wick is poking out of the juice channels. And then it recesses back into the rba due to the cut of the wick.

I cut my wicks level with the first set of threads in the juice channels. I use rayon as well, but I don't have any problems with dry or burnt hits.

5/6 wraps on kanthal running at 35w.i followed the you tube video when wicking by placing the cap over the wick and using that as a guide for cutting wick.i do probably agree it's the wick rather than coil.anyone tried that bacon wrap stuff?
