@PatVapes There seems to always be a learning curve when re-wicking a new or different rebuildable tank atomizer.
My first rebuildable tank atomizer (a Genesis AGA-T, with the tank below the build deck) used mesh stainless steel wick which you had to cut and roll yourself and then fit it into a TINY little hole of the build deck. You think you have it bad now?
I ended up purchasing pre-built mesh SS coils and did get a decent vape, but the Genesis design always lead to chronic leaking if the tank was not kept upright, so I put my two tanks away for good.
Then someone gifted me a RTA with a new design, the SvoeMesto Kayfun Lite (tank above the build deck). This tank used cotton wick, and although there was innitially a learning curve wicking, it provided great flavor. It did develop a leaking issue, and it turned out to be a faulty o-ring which was easily replaced. However, it was strictly a MTL tank and I somehow evolved into a DTL vaper with my rebuildable drip atomizers, so the Kayfun was shelved. I haven't used another RTA since.

Just started the process! First pic is god the guy installed it. According to all the videos I’ve watched... way too much cotton!
And this is after cleaning I think I’ve done a good job so far

My fav Genesis was the Origen v2.. I use to run it with cotton and ran it all the way down to the deck and then even left a little legs laying on the deck.. Might have been one of the best Genesis tanks of all time, in my opinion of course....
Funny how mesh was all the rage 4-5 years ago ---> fizzled out ---> now back being all the rage...
I also had a Z-Atty Pro but I hated that thing.. I use to torch, roll, torch SS mesh for use in it and yeah, pain in the rear!
Hahaha... I remember when those juice were the IT and sold out in minutes.. I scored some Boba's once, was excited, got it, vaped it, YUCK!
Never tried the Pluid though... Are those flavors still being sold?
why do I see most of your topics that way?
Looks good. I'm sure it's working fine but a little more cotton in the coil would be good. You can always comb out and thin the ends a bit if it feels like too much for the wells
I scored both flavors. I didn't care for Boba's Bounty, either. It tasted like graham crackers to me, and I've always HATED graham crackers. I kept it around for a few months hoping that some steeping would improve it, since it was so hard to get. It never improved, so I gave it to a co-worker.
Radiator Pluid tasted like black liquorice or anise. I innitially didn't care for it at all, but kept going back to it and it did kinda grow on me. Definitely not an All Day Vape for me. I would let some customers sample it on their RDA's when I worked at the vape shop, and most of them really liked it.

I’ll keep experimenting. So far the amount of cotton I used is working amazingly. Great flavor, great vapor, great temperature.
I thank you all who recommended changing to an rda or rta!
I'm encouraged by your success. Yay for you!!
I have to admit, I'm usually somewhat reluctant to suggest relatively new vapers to dive into rebuildables. There is just so much to learn about vaping in general, that to suggest that they try something so "advanced" as rebuildables might be information overload for them.
But you are obviously a determined intelligent person, know how to research a problem, and willing to ask for advice when you run across a problem. I'm pleased that you have possibly found your "sweet spot", and I wish you continued success.

I agree. If you don’t have the patience to do your research it probably won’t work. I had been looking into rdas and rtas since I started vaping but it always looked intimidating so I didn’t want to mess with it. I’m really happy I decided to do it. Vaping helps me control my anxiety issues and that includes cravings too.
Easier than I thought indeed! Next stop is making my own coils

That's also easy as you will discover.
There you go! Well done. You are obviously going places!
Awesome. Loving the enthusiasm.Easier than I thought indeed! Next stop is making my own coils
LOL, like a lot of people. I have never tried Boba's myself, to be honest. Those were just two flavors I remember being the stuff back in the day. I seriously loved Pluid, though. I know the original Boba's hasn't been made in a few years, but I did find some Pluid on a French site last year.
