zeus rta single coil dry hit! help!

[jram0107]

Hey guys!
I am using a zeus rta single coil. using twisted coil guage 24 for about 5 or 6 loops at 0.19.
tried different types of wicking but still having dry hits! maybe after 3 puffs it will go dry hit. running on 40 watts then going 35 and even 20 watts still having this dry hit issue! any fix?

Your wick probably needs to be a little tighter.
Are you combing the wick out?

Hi supplydaddy,

Yup i tried tight wicking in the middle and combing out the sides. But still having the issue. But if i use it to a mechanical single 18650 it works fine. When i use it with regulated 3 18650 it happens even if it only 20 watts

It’s most likely a wicking problem of some sort. There are several possibilities generally revolving around too much cotton or too short wicking

Hmm. Do you have (or have you tried it on) more than one regulated device?

I think it's likely a wicking issue, personally, that is what I find when I get dry hits, that my wick needs to be adjusted. Usually in the direction of "less wick, especially in the tails" but I use rayon, which pretty much does the opposite of cotton.

Thin your tails, and I mean considerably. It's easy to think that thicker tails will give you more surface area to wick (and it does) but if you think about capillary action, which is what your wick does, pull juice into the coil, well, you don't want such a robust wick (like, think celery where you are chewing on a mouthful of fibers for ever) your wick needs to be thinned enough to give you rapid wicking action to the coil without clogging or dry spots, INSIDE the wick, where the eliquid never saturates it and etc.

I do think Supply Daddy has a point, if it's working well on a mech but not on a regulated, you could have an overpowered regulated mod or just "something going on with the mod" that is for, whatever reason, not playing well with that particular tank. I could not even hazard a guess of what that might be, but fool around some and etc.

Hello Stols001,

I agree also with SupplyDaddy. that I was thinking also there might be something wrong with the regulated device. I use it with Wismec ES300 exoskeleton 300w device.
