Tasting burnt after 3 sec

[hawwy]

So am using subtank mini with rba 0.6 ohm and if i take a drag more than 2-3 secs it goes like a burnt taste and anything less than that its perfect?
Whats the cause of this

 

[jseah]

Sounds like your build isn't wicking the juice fast enough to keep up.

 

[Rabbit Slayer]

hot leg on a coil maybe

 

[hawwy]

I follwed the video on rba build by rip trippers to build it

So jseah as you say its not wicking fast enough what is the cure to the problem

use juice with less VG? Maybe you coil is compressed too tight or crammed into the juice channels too tightly?
Also what wattage? the RBA deck or any atty does have a maximum wattage you can vape it at even when wicked perfectly. In other words you can vaporize juice faster than the wick can carry it in.

Or just take smaller drags? I use 100 or 90 vg juice.
23 watts
My rba is the new one with black subtank mini so it doesnt have juice channels it has the holes on the side

Take smaller drags. My typical drags don't exceed 3 seconds. Maybe you have your cotton packed too tightly inside the coil? Are you DIY'ing your juice? I have found that DIY juice tends to be much thicker than premade max VG juice since many vendors do use distilled water to thin out their juice.

Ahh I have heard that if you stick a pin thru the middle of the cotton/coil it will help things? Of course remove the pin before vaping

Less wick. Cut 'em short,,, just wide enough to contact the juice holes.
Watch your watts too, that your not forcing too much power into the coil for the rate of juice feeding the wick.
I use max VG, .6Ω, 17-20 watts.

If you are using the RBA section-
Reduce amount of cotton/fill/wick
Make sure it reaches and aligns with the holes
Fluff before installing the chimney section.
Poke with tooth pick through chimney holes after installing

This will allow proper coverage as well as better wicking

How you mean poke with toothpick like which bit and poke it all way through?

Turn down the wattage.

Nope just a bit in there with a toothpick, but you can poke a needle all the way thru.

Exactly,
Poke, not punch

also use steam engine to check if your coil is running too hot

I dont know how to use steam engine i dont understand it

I dont know how to use steam engine i dont understand it

what is the ohms
what wattage are you vaping at

 

[hawwy]

Coil is 26 gauge kanthol
Reading at 0.6 ohm
Single coil
