I have a limitless i-joy rta. My build is .272 . I'm using 65 /35 vg/pg . My cotton is well saturated and I vape fairly low on an alien 220. 35watts or less. All of a sudden it tasted burnt. Not after chain vaping but on the 1st pull. I checked the volts, I like to keep them under 4, they were like 3.38 it just don't make sense. I switched to my reuleaux and the same thing happened at 50 watts. It continues untill I get down to 30 watts. Anyone know what is going on here?

Your coil obviously likes to be at 30 watts or less

Vape in wattage mode on the alien, not volts

Your build doesn't like the wattage or you have a Hotspot on your build

I do vape in wattage , I had this problemorning once b4 with my esp30 , it was on 15 watts but the volts were super high,so I always check to enter sure the watts and volts match. Turned out the atomizer just needed to be tightened down

I'm having problems.My atomizer seems like it's no good. I don't know how it could be broken, thee isn't much to it but it keeps getting hot spots. I strum it then 1 hit its fine ,the next back to burnt. My reulaux says atomizer short but it works on my istick. There is no Kanthal touching and this is an ongoing problem,even when I rebuild. I don't know what I'm doing wrong here. I'll post a pic

A pic would help but sounds to me like you didn't work out all the horse spots

Yeah those horse spots can be a real kick, lol.

Also sounds like your post screws are loosening as the coils heat and cool.
