How I wick my v1 rba for subtank

1. Cut cotton a little wider than internal diameter of coil.

2. Peel off top and bottom layer and pull into coil.

3. Insert chimney and cut the cotton just slightly above chimney.

4. Take out chimney. Using a piece of kanthal wire, I fluff up the tails.

5. Replaced the chimney and stuff the deck with cotton.

6. Using kanthal wire, I push back the tail away from the chimney slightly so that the juice channel are not choked.

Subtank mini I'm using is the first iteration. One airflow hole and the v1 rba with tiny juice channel. So far no leak and no dry hit. Main point is fluffiness of the cotton.

This applies to all rta. Make sure the juice channel is covered but never clogged. Every rta has a limit for cotton so it's up to you to find out the cotton limit. Too little or too much is a nono. The juice channel will be your guide.

For Rda, well... You can go cotton happy but still make sure not to clog the coil with too much cotton.

I see I see. But if you ever wanna try a different flavour, It's good to have a dripper tank. Although I'm not sure if dripper can be used on kbox mini haha
