Wicking problems with high VG juice

[Steve Anton]

I'm having wicking issues with my Lemo2 when I use a high VG juice. Any solutions? I would really appreciate it.

One of the tricks I have learned with RTAs is that you should not be stuffing any wick down into the juice channels. Try wicking it without using the juice channels, but simply build onto the deck itself. Also, you should be rolling your cotton before putting in the coil and then fluff up the ends afterwards. I hope this helps, because it did wonders for me wicking this way.

You might try using LESS cotton. Stuffing too much cotton into the coil can strangulate it to the point where it can't wick e-liquid fast enough to the coils. Sometimes less is more.

You may need to add 10% distilled water to your e-liquid in an attempt to thin the Vg down.

Yeah, less is definitely more when wicking an RTA.

Welcome Steve!

Another consideration is to "fluff and thin" the tails of the wick. After I've cut my wicks to length, I will spread them out and maybe even pull the tiniest bits out so it's more of a "fan" than a "tail"

I SERIOUSLY struggled with my kayfuns and my first Kanger Subtank Mini until I started figuring that out.... I have been running the RBA on my Subtank for about 3 tankfuls, and I have yet to get a dry hit! (Yeah, I just jinxed myself )
