Agree with @Don in second pic looks like a wire is touching the second from bottom af on the right. Like the leg wasn't clipped or clipped piece was left in.

The only thing I see in the 2 coil shots is one looks darker like it was fired between pics, and the RDA has been turned 180°.
Hard to tell from the viewpoint if touching or not, but,...
Coil has to be low in the AX1 in order to not short out against the cap. It isn't touching anything it shouldn't.

The tube in the bottle looks like it could stand to be pulled out some. Might not leak as is though

RDA is built wrong.
Dual coil RDA , the coil is not over the airflow holes.

The single coil looks right though.:facepalm:

The eliquid is too strong for an RDA..
24mg/ml nic is too much.

There is nothing wrong with the coil on this one. Even though it is designed for dual coil, it works well as a single and due to the short cap and design of it it doesnt suffer in flavor from being centered. Here are a couple of hints.

1 thing will make this completely unenjoyable both in vapor production and usability.
1 thing will cause it to not do what it needs to most vitally. Think vital function.

This is a straight forward challenge, no tricks and there is no Waldo in the pics. Look up top.

Good hints @jwill

There's been a sort-of-answer to one of the things already. Sort of.

The other thing, no one has come near it yet.

24mg nico seems pretty high on a dripper...

24mg/ml Nicotine This is on the high side of nicotine levels and is commonly preferred by people who were formally heavy smokers (about a pack or two per day). It has a noticeable nicotine level that many former smokers enjoy.

Could be dangerous , nic poisoning..

I'd say its missing a part of the fire button assembly that connects to the 510 connector. No connection, no fire.

Edit: Looks luke it may be missin the wire that conects the bottom contact to the 510 connector. I say it looks this way because the pics are so dark I can barely tell lol

Great lighting for you = poor lighting on my crappy phone

No doubt your pic is of high quality, I just set my browser for low quality to reduce data useage. Plus its a 3 yr old phone lol

Haven't read back through the responses, but it looks like the button contact is hitting the bottle tube

1. 36mg nic salt too strong for freebase RDA use. Too much vapor production with too much nicotine can make you 'nic sick' which is low-grade nicotine overdose, and you might even get a full-blown overdose,
2. 40w too high for nic salts.
3. mod is set to 75W not 40W

what kind of cotton are those?
