Anyone else having trouble wicking.

Just a little bit about my set up I've got an rx 200 and the twisted messes rda and I've noticed I've been having trouble wicking mainly on the post closest to the side. I can't seem to get much cotton in on that side. I'm also having trouble centering any of my builds. Even the smallest ones....any tips would be helpful! Thank you!

im actually hitting my twisted messes rda as i read this...... on the negative post side i give myself enough wire to allow me to center it..... meaning i dont pull the coil all the way through to the post before i tighten.... also, on the side you dont have that room make sure your coil wrap is on the top side not the bottom. hope this helps

You'll have to leave the leads a little longer, so it'll allow you to either frame your coils (like picture below, pre bending the leads so the coil is already centered before being installed) or at least give you a little extra play when centering your builds, which will in turn make wicking easier

As you can see, if the leads were straight, the coil would be sitting outside the RDA deck, but leaving it longer allows you to manipulate the coils and center them. If you insert the leads all the way in, and have the coils tighter to the posts, it won't allow you to push and bend them into the middle. It'll take some practice, but you'll eventually get used to it and it'll become second nature.

I hope that makes sense, and I hope you get your vape setup working right, so you can Vape On!
