You need to put the wick in so its has resistance when pulled but doesnt stick or bunch up. It needs to slide in and out easily but not loose....
Then cut the ends to the edge of the tank, fit the cap on the deck and then take it off. Cuts the wick where the indentation is from the cap and then fluff the cotton. Point the wick end up and put the cap over then and screw it down, then guide, DO NOT CRAM OR BUNCH the cotton to the juice holes. You dont want the wicks in the holes but where the deck is above them.
Drop a few drops on the coil and pulse until juice is absorbed, then repeat (with low wattage), this will break in the coil/cotton easier, do this until the wick is SOAKED. Slap the tank on and fill it to the tippy top (I dont even close the airflow) and then try vaping at around 3.85V and go up from there.
I have built crazy builds in all the RBA's, with this method I dont get dry hits or gurgling/flooding and I have vaped up to 120w without dryhits (though I wasnt chain vaping).
Thanks bro I'm going to try and mix some water in my juice and see what happens
Do this only as a last resort and only FEW DROPS AT A TIME, shake it then test it. It can dilute your juice too much and destroy it if your not careful
