I just wrote this up for a friend and thought i would share with you bonkers...

I'm a huge fan of the O-atty v1 rda. I use it on a single battery mech squonker and run a simple single wire build that provides a nice dense warm vape with no ramp up time, excellent flavor, and great battery life. The coil is n80 24g 5 wrap on 3.5mm rod.

Mount with coil level with side walls

Firm but slightly loose wicking cut 1-2mm from edge of side walls

Fluff up the ends of the wick. I use pointed end of tweezers

Gently tuck those wick tails down into the well and leave a space from the side wall (i find this makes less mess and less likely to get leakage from air flow on cap)

Hope this helps!

Very nice thanks.
Just 1 question.
Why have the coil at an angle like that instead of perpendicular to the airflow intake?

This is how the posts and air channels are designed for this particular RDA. I have tried a coil installed perpendicular and it's a huge pain in the ass and you need to raise the coil higher and split the wick (forked like a snakes tongue :)). I noticed no benefit/improvement so i stick with rocking the coil this way.
