wicking

Figured I'd share this since I took the pics. ;-) Read a few peeps ideas on how to do this thing, then did this. Maybe it'll help someone. I've done builds with 5mm inside diameter coils before, but this is a monster. I used the highest Ohm coil of the three provided, the 0.18 one. On the...

on my wismec rx300 im running a smok tfv16 with the single mesh coil rated at 120w (best coil ive tried so far) which calls for 70/30 according to the instruction manual for the tank. the coils seem to not wick that great and burn fast but when i tried 75/25 it leaked like crazy which doesent...

Hey fellow vapers. I'm trying to find a pod system that fits well with 100% vg e juice. I can only vape e juices with 0%pg since I have sensitivity to it. So I found this company called kais virgin vapor. They make organic e LIQUIDS, pg free, which is basically the only brand of ejuice I've...

I just cleaned my coil, and primed it with the new juice I made(lets call it juice 1), the juice didnt steep yet, but i had to try it. As i tried it i was okay thats good. Then i put another juice in(call it juice 2) and after few tanks of the juice 2 it felt different... it was like i still...

So the stuff I've been using first. - Drop RDA - Native wicks cotton, platinum blend - Coilology pre-built Nichrome coils and hand wraped geekvape kanthal coils. -Mostly 70/30 blend eliquid Lately I have had very little success with the builds I have put into my drop RDA. I feel like I...

Hey guys, my setup is a Wismec Predator 228 mod with a Dead Rabbit RDA. I have a 0.68ohm unidentified kanthal, single coil build in there and am using it at 15W. Whenever I wick it, i have to rewick it after half a day. Im using 100% organic, unbleached cotton. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing...

So I've experienced something interesting today. I opened a new bag of cotton bacon v2 and wicked the same atty I've been using for a few months. Same methods, same procedures. Flavor I was getting was bitter as hell. And yes my hands are clean and I actually wear nitrile gloves when I wick...

Greetings all! Figured I get a post on here for anyone else in my position and hoping to help those who are in a similar situation I was in. For those who never really got into dripping, or vaping at high watts, my experiences might not be relevant to you. I mainly vape lower build drippers...

Hi everyone! My preferred way of wicking any atomizer is using the scottish roll wicking method. It is the most effective way of wicking any RTA, RDA or RDTA for me:

Hello! I got a serpent mini 25 RDA. I wicked it and everything its pretty good. But i got one problem when i do a refill it always leak a little bit. But when vaping it or i leave it for a day it doesnt. I also close the airflow valve when refilling but it steal leaks a couple of drops. What...

So it's been a few years since I dabbled with RTA's. I just picked up the Ammit 25 because of good reviews and easy build deck. I'm using 22g kanthal right now, but will be switching to 26g when it comes in the mail. For wicking, I'm using organic cotton balls that I washed and unraveled...

So I've built lots of different coils and have always used cotton as my wick. My favorite cotton to use is definetly cotton bacon its nice any fluffy so it does well at filling whatever diameter coil without having to compress the cotton and choke it. I'm currently happy with my wicking, however...

My go-to build is wrapping SS 316L, 24g, staggered fused claptons. Oh, such flavor. I always build dual coil builds, very low ohm (around 0.11). I get tremendous flavor this way, and they say SS is the most health-conscious wire. So, do you guys think it's more important to make the perfect...

Hello All, I recently got into building RDA's and have been having some trouble getting a consistent vape. I'll try to be as detailed as possible. I got a Velocity mini clone from Fastech. I have thrown a couple builds on there to try to find the right balance of flavor with great cloud...

My friend the, TheDrunkenWeeb, is on a quest to create stats for any and all different cotton types for rebuildables. Looking for some eclectic brands and materials used by all of you beautiful vapey type people. Thanks in advance! Please post what your fave is as well as stuff we should pick...

Ok, so I really cant find ANY how to video on properly filling and wicking a tank. The filling part probably seems fairly easy..but the wicking. I think the reviewers just assume everyone knows how to do that. I just received a TFV8 cloud beast (sent wrong tank but going to keep it) and it has...

Hey everybody i'm newbie here and to the vaping i just got my ego ce5, i couldn't find anything better around me i've been using it for a while, i faced some leakings probably because of overfill, or maybe i made a bad liquid anyway i've took it apart and cleaned it all.while cleaning i saw my...

I've been vaping for over three years now, but I'm just getting into rebuildables. I did some research and asking around and landed on either the Avocado 24 or the Limitless Plus. After talking to a guy at a local B&M that has always pointed me in the right direction and been totally honest...

I'm not new to building and wicking RTA's - I only use rebuildables. But goddammit, I've rewicked this Engine 5 times and each time it's either dry, cottony hits or severe spitback and flooding. At first I tried putting the wick in the wick ports (snugly, but not tightly and not all the way to...

Check out my review. Give me feedback let me know what you think.

This review / tutorial has been done to help others with wicking their Big Baby Beast / Baby Beast RBA coils. Coil Specifications Kanthal Fused Clapton - x2 26g cores/ 36g wrap 2.5mm ID wrapped 6 times 0.453ohm p/coil | .294ohm dual coil Big Baby Beast Tank with RBA Coil Dual Fused...

I'm running a Kanger TopTank Mini on an IPV D2... When i bought it... i had the man behind the counter setup the coil and wick for the RBA that came with the KangerTech TopTank Mini..... i eventually swapped out to the small 0.14ohm resistance SSOCC and then the slightly larger SSOCC (With the...

Hi, I am looking for advice on the best coil type (brand and / or composition) for vaping rather thick e-liquid. I am noticing with my current coil (.5 ohm Clapton Coil from Kangertech) that I have to wait a least a good minute or two between hits for my coil to re-wick or I have to unscrew...

Hello all, I've been using Japanese organic cotton since I've started vaping. I love the flavor from it, but I'm always looking for something different. Does anyone have any suggestions on a different wicking material for flavor?

Maybe a silly question but can a bad wicking can cause my coils resistance to drop? I have got pre-made 0.6 clapton coils. My setup is a dual coil so I believe I should read 0.3 ohm but my device indicates 0.18 or so. Should I re-wick the coils?

Just wondering what the consensus is regarding these two. I have a Griffin 25 right now but have had vacuum problems and "seapage" from between the AFC ring and the bottom ring of the tank. I am considering ordering the Herakles RTA-2 next paycheck.

I have Had my Boreas RTA for about 2 months now and i cannot get it to stop fucking leaking. There is nothing wrong with the 0 rings/seals .. I wick the thing constantly ... all different ways with different amounts of cotton ... different refilling techniques.. filling it half open... filling...

How often should i change the wicks (Cotton) of my rda/rta?

Hi all, I'm new to the site so forgive me if I make any faux pas! I've been vaping for several months and finally invested in an RDA (not much, got the v2 because I found it cheap and I liked the velocity style deck) to up my build game. Unfortunately, it's not even coming close flavor wise to...

Howdy Vaperinos! I just got my Boreas RTA in the mail.. and it is a ripper! More than happy! Whereas leaking is an issue for some... i am not having an issue.. but where i am is dry hits.. I am running 2x9 wrap 26g kanthal (0.58ohms) on it at the moment at 30-40w.. i am using koh gen do...

Hey everyone, noob to the forum...I purchased the Cleito tank about 2 weeks ago. I have gone through 3 coils already. I have done all the priming stuff, even let my tank sit overnight full with a brand new coil before using it. Switched from RDA's to this to save some time using it as an...

So I've had the original aromamizer rdta since a little before Christmas and I still can't figure this thing out. When I wick it it either will work good but leak like crazy when left on its side or I wick it and the wick gets suffocated and gives a muted bad tasting Vape. I've watched probably...

Can I remove the coil (after I pulsed it and it's glowing evenly from the center to outside) to wick it and then re-insert it into the deck...or that would make heatspots?

hey all! Ive been building for a couple years. But ive always done the standard wicking we all know and some love. I was wondering: A.) What other types of wicks can be made using Cotton Bacon B.) Which of these do YOU prefer C.) Pro's and Con's of each wicking style I have done some searching...

What are your personal pros and cons of each? Is there one style that is better than the other in everyones experience? So I've used both styles of wicking and personally really like the Scottish Roll Wicking. I don't get drastically bigger vapor production but I can definitely tell there is...
