wicks coils rbas please help

[Nailz]

I'm just about to go into rebuilds with a RSST myself, so been watching a lot of videos and reading a lot, just watched a rip rippers video using a micro coil and mesh with cotton, may help you out


No idea about this stuff myself, but going to try this setup when mine gets here.

Ive never had chance to try a micro in a genny yet. I learned about micros once switching to Reos but have first Provari and Z atty on the way so super excited to get that up and running micro style.

Yeah good video thats how I plan on running my Z atty when I get it. Never had much luck with regular coils in a genny with mesh.When it worked it was great but too much hassle for me.Since then only been wrapping micros for Reos and small drippers for wife so cant wait to try this out.

Been there, done that.
Works, but I find plain ol cotton ball wick wicks quicker and is easier to tune/build.

Yeah didnt mention emus I plan on just cotton as well.Mesh is PIA if you ask me. I just want simple and clean no hassle

Since were chatting while waiting for our new buddy.DO you find with the cotton you get less leak issues with cotton in genny vs mesh ?

I've noticed a seasoned coil is more forgiving than a shinny new coil.
Remove wick from dark dirty coil and dry burn clean; that is what I'm calling a seasoned coil.
It looks clean after dry burn but seems to distribute heat smother than new coil.
Perhaps it has a thin layer of carbon which dials temp down a notch.

Not sure why everybody isn't running dual wicks. Wicking is fast. Chain vape compatible. Performs like a dripper. Can TP pull refresh. I highly recommend giving dual wick a try.

I've got mesh coming, but been seeing many people saying cotton is better, so plan to move onto cotton, just think mesh will be easier to work with for a newbie like me to start with

Yeah its one of those things that mesh might be perfect for you vs cotton for me.Same as people swear by carto tanks but Ive only ever had issues with them. Atleast with rebuildables does not cost to much to mess around and find your sweet spot !

My gennies never leak while standing.
If block deck holes with cotton they can lay for several minutes w/o leaking.
My drilled deck cloud maker genny will leak quick on it's side.

I use the low quality but high performance FT SS thick wall screw cap cobra for upright watch pocket carry; works great looks junky. It can lay on it's side for a good while before leaking. It has emptied when carried in regular pocket w/o leaving a trace. In another thread we concluded pocket gremlins steal the juice.

Cool thanks for advice.I plan on using the provari/zap combo at home so wont be on side to often anyways and Reo for out and about. Since the ZAP only has wick hole and fill hole going to see what I can use to plug fill hole .

Alright guys gotta go for a while.Will jump back on later and see how things are going getting our new friend up and running.OP good luck and post pics of new coil !

 

[tg123]

there up now jp

 

[Vash]

Ok Ill stay few more more mins Looking better .Fire them up really hot and then squeeze then gently to get the wraps to all touch.cant stress enough dont squeeze with button held down.Just fire hot for 8- 10 seconds relase then squeeze.

 

[tg123]

yea i did that should i do it more?i done it maybe 5 times and i let it go the whole 13 seconds with the twist turned up almost max

ok done it again everything seems to be touching and burning hot evenly all the way through

 

[Vash]

Awesome ! Lets see pic again and start wicking after that Emus might be better help with wicking since he is running micros in gennys but Ill try as well.

Both coils should heat at same rate; be the same color at the same time.
Pics can be misleading but it loos like one coil is hotter than other.

 

[Vash]

Yeah didnt notice that .Seems far coil was tighter than closer one.He said he has them tighter now so will see when he posts new pic.

 

[tg123]

yea the one does seem to bee a little hotter than the other which is weird same wraps same everything thats why it took so long to post pics i was trying to fix it actually went through a couple coils
