Wicking the zephyrus RDA

[bpurtell89]

so completed my first build today..... coils wrappederfect..... First coil build a perfect .2 build round of applause thank you thank you

Not. Lol

So wicking is a pain, I've watched multiple YouTube videos on this build and I've wicked it 5+ times

I'm a chain vaper, it's not soaking up the juice and I don't feel that I'm over wicking it nor am I under wicking it.... Obv im doing something wrong but maybe someone on here has come across a similar experience and can share how they overcame it


Thank you everyone!

I can't help having never used one, but would suggest you post pictures of your coil placement and wicking if you want suggestions.

The cotton "tails" should NOT go into the channels. Instead, they should hover right over it, so that when you put the chimney on, it pushes them over the channels. Also helps to cut them at an angle.

First guess; Close down the AFC until you feel some resistance. That will draw more juice into the wick.

General rule is: The thicker the liquid more resistance you need to feel.

One other thing, the whcktails should not block the juice/air channels completely. Air needs to get past the tails and into the tank.

I am not putting cotton into juice channels that was my first mistake and I learned very quickly from it I will post photos later to give a better idea of what's going on. My coils are 6 wraps and there is a proper amount of space above the airflow. As frustrating as this all is its more exciting in an odd way haha

Also. It's running quite decent after some tinkering with it but anything over 35w I'm noticing after 3-4 pulls on it I'm getting a dry hit

If the tails are set up right, it's possible you're simply using too much cotton. It might be too constricted within the coil itself. I typically use less cotton in all my UD products than I would in the same builds in different atties.

See my problem really is though when I use less cotton even slightly less cotton I get leaking :/

What if the AFC?

Air flow control

Sounds like you have too much cotton, my first build she leaked big time, second build no leaks no dry hits, less is more, also make sure your cotton isn't too tight inside the coils, watch grimmgreens vid for the best way to wick it
