Hey guys,

On my reo grande ive been rebuilding for maybe 2 months now. When i do a true 1/16 wrap i really tend to get some burnt tastes going alot of the times. The cotton wick that i get to fit in there is a challenge and often seems to kind of break in half after a couple days as it really is a very tiny piece of cotton. Im squonking like crazy and getting some great vapes here n there but i still fighting that burnt taste at times. Im using 29 gauge wire - ohms are only .8-1.0. --- its no problem to just go higher on the diameter with the wraps as they are quite satisfying and the cotton wick seems more sturdy but i was just curious what things i could be doing wrong on the 1/16 wraps. Its more now about the challenge then about the vape.


Lastly if i do get the tiny wraps right and want to experiment with sub ohming lower than .7 ohms i imagine its necessary to get a 20 or 30 amp cont discharge 18650 button top - Is there a brand thats popular - its been hard to find in the button top version - any tips ?

Thanks so much.

i find 1/16 diameter coils to be way too small. I also get burnt hits on it. I feel like because its so small, your wick cannot keep up as obviously its smaller and doesnt hold as much juice or feed as much.
I also have observed that if you sub ohm and use 1/16 coils, i think because it gets too hot, with a small wick it cannot cool off the coil fast enough.

Once i wrap 5/64 all my problems go away.

if your looking for 20-30 amp batteres i think your best bet is sony. although im not sure if they are button tops.

Yeah i was just try to find a burton top 30 or even 20 and didnt. Find any luck.

Yeah addition im glad im not the only one and on the right track with my thinking. Slightly larger like you mentioned makes a bug difference. But all i hear is 1/16 etc !!! I was trying to man up and copy but keep on failing :).

Yeah a Larger hole for me ! Take that how you wish peps :)
