This Big Buddha RTA was leaking a lot so I read as much as I could find and then I came up with this wicking technique I wanted to share. First I built 2 new coils this way:

The larger coil is 24 Ga. Kanthal the smaller is 26 Ga. wrapped on a 3/16 drill bit. The smaller coil gets hot quickly and the larger one fires only if you really hold the button down for a long time. This works great for me.

This build runs at .51 Ohms and if you like a nice warm, smooth vape you should try it. See the wicking in part 2

I am so happy someone else has figured that out. I figured that out & build different kinds of coils. Like a starter for a huge cloud. I use Flat Kanthal stove top coils & .24 coils in several drippers, to blow Fog Banks.
