I am on the road (truck driver) my parallel coils I had on my dark horse RDA and mech mod burnt. I wrapped two coils with 28g Kanthal 9 wraps around a #0 screwdriver. They fired fine slow ramp up of course. I wicked organic cotton and tastes like shit. I can't get anywhere cause I am in a semi. Not burnt taste just plain bad!

Don't have an answer but I am sure someone with more RDA experience than I have will jump in here soon.

But I do have a question.

Wouldn't it be a bit easier for you to use a good RBA instead of a dripper while driving?

Speaking only for myself, I would be sitting in a pool of E-Liquid within the hour!

Yes a lot easier but I had trouble with anything with a tank when I cross the Rockie mountains. They just leak juice like crazy from the pressure change. I been using an Atlantis and tried a Kanger mini. Both leaked like a bitch.

Hey Pablo.
Just a few suggestions, which you might of checked already.
Dry burn the coils and make sure you've got no hot legs and that they're heating up nice and evenly from the inside out.
If the coils are lighting up evenly without hot legs then muted flavour is most likely from the wick being either too tight, or not tight enough with pockets of cotton not touching the wick. If you have long legs on the coils, it's a good idea to use a tad of cotton to cover them up too.

From my experience if the coil's are lighting evenly, it's usually an issue with the wick.
Hope you're back in the flavour soon :)

On the tanks if you set them upside down between vapes that would help them to not leak. Found that out on a trip flying overseas. Store talks upside down and they don't leak. Found out the hard way. Lol

I did that but had trouble with dry hits. Its OK if ya don't wanna vape when they been upside down for a bit. Take 4 or 5 hits and its dry.

Get a Heracles, Arctic, or Atlantis tank, easier to use when driving.
