Subtank RBA juice channels?

[Mitch2651]

Hey all,
So I finally wicked my rba correctly using the method where you thread the Cotten through the holes of the sleeve and then cut it. It works great and it's the only method that works. So here's my two questions.
The revised rbas are not supposed to have juice channels,right?

Also how did you guys wick it any other way? I tried a bunch but if those holes weren't completely covered it was spitting.

I do the bunny ear method. Wick then slide the sleeve down over the wicks, keeping them pulled up. After sleeve secured down the trim each wick just a bit above the sleeve. Then push the wicks down in each side and make sure the holes are covered. Works great for me.
No dry hits and no drips.
I vape with 50/50 juice.

The Cotton Thru the Hole Method is the Only Method I found worked for me also.

Yes, the Revised RBA Sections have No e-Liquid Channels in the RBA Deck.

I do the same as Robert Cromwell.

Ok thanks guys. I am going to try that method again focusing more on filling the holes just to see if I get better results. Problem was I was following wicking instructions on the old style.

I do that too. Then gently push them down with the little screwdriver to make sure holes are covered. Works great for me.

yes push down gently with a fine pointed screwdriver or I use a dental pick. Do not pack it down in there!

A typical kayfun type wicking method. The wicks must be long enough to Lay against the holes snugly, but not packed.
3mm Coil has plenty of wicking to prevent flooding
2.5mm may be a bit fiddly

I agree. If you pack it too tight you could have wicking issues.

I do 2.5's and work fine. Never a leaky. Well since my first attempt at wicking one

Same here 2.5mm coil with bunny ear wicking KDG cotton. Lasts me weeks before I have to change it. No flavor issues that I can detect except with the few first puffs as I step up from low to higher watts.

Tastes better than any stock coil, sub tank or nautilus mini.

I'm going to give that wicking method another shot. The other way works great for me but I'm up for something different if there's a chance for better flavor. I really appreciate all the replies. Out of the videos I saw I never saw the emphasis on plugging the holes

I think this is the Extremely Cool thing about Making one's own Builds.

Being able to Try Different approaches/techniques to fine tune things for their e-Liquid, Watts and type of Hit they are Looking for.

BTW - I'm kinda in the Minority. Because I prefer the Original Design RBA Section. Once I have Enlarged the e-Liquid Channels slightly using a Small File that is.

But still have a Newer Version in my Rotation.
