You ought to learn more about your RDA too. This is not a cut, or attack on you. It is just hopefully some constructive critique. I would not vape on an RDA fresh out of a package, pre-built without knowing the build.
You could be drawing on cheap non-resistance wire for all you know, if you just fire up not having looked it over. A good way to start learning more is to visit forums sure. Then, read over stuff and try to let it sink in a little. Many of us in the forums want vaping to work for as many as it can, we want lives saved.
Know it is difficult trusting strangers. Plenty of trouble doing that myself at times, trouble too trusting myself some. I'm an oddball like that. I also vape 18% across the board, in evods, in RDAs, RTAs, yes, I am physiologically a mutant.
I have trouble functioning on lower nicotine, can do it but it's rough.
You can learn more about RDA & RTA building as it's called by watching my buddy's videos on Youtube. Look for Super_x_Drifter. He teaches the basics well, does not preach, does not take a stance of being superior. He speaks slowly and clearly so you can understand what's going on easily.
I also see you're using a mod having swappable batteries. Please be cautious with your batteries.
DO NOT PLACE LOOSE BATTERIES IN PANTS POCKETS WITH OTHER LOOSE METALLIC OBJECTS. They will indeed arcs, short and possibly cause injury, maybe worse. You may also want to read more about
battery safety. Apologies for shouting about loose batteries. We've seen a fair show of some what got no clue.
Also, please enjoy some handy links to materials, to reference. Well, mostly materials. *chuckles*

If you or someone you *cough* give *cough* juice to happens to enjoy the creamy flavors, or buttery ones you may need those two chemicals in the safety notice above. In wee small quantities you may get by alright. Beware though, there are serious risks
possible. There are always are though, so just mind yourself with a lick of sense.
