I just got a doggy 18 and I built it. The chiney wouldnt come out. I wasnt sure if that was supposed to be that way but I built it anyways. I built it with a 26ga 3mm coil coming out about .5 ohms. Dang that thing was unbearably hot! I must have done something wrong or Im just not going to like this tank if its burning my lips. Tastes ok though before it gets hot.
In the 2k18 version the chimney comes already attached via thick o-rings to the tank.
As @ricks said, this version has juice flow control which is operated by using the drip tip to turn the chamber. When you can see wicking - the JFC is open, when you can only see metal, it's closed.
Coil height also plays a big part in getting either more throat hit or more flavour. I prefer low to the airflow hole. But for those who like throat hit, raise it a bit. Here's my coil height:
This shows the different decks - 2k18 on the left, 2k16 on the right.
I use a 2.5mm id coil in the 2k18 - so maybe try a smaller id than 3mm.
As the deck is a GTA style, so your wick tails needs to go down a bit further than other RTAs.
Here's my 2k18 rayon
wicking:
I've thinned the tails quite a bit, and cut them to sit flush on that bottom ridge.
This shows also the coil height. It's only a mm or 2 above the airflow hole.
I use 28ga in my doggys, prefer the fast ramp up and these are 2.5mm id ss316l 5 wrap coils.
