Hot spots

[R0tt0]

I have a limitless i-joy rta. I'm having trouble with hot spots. I make sure my new build is firing evenly b4 I wick it and it does ok at first. By the 2nd day I'm strumming my coils every 5th puff. I checked the screws, they are tight ,the coil looks perfect. Right now I've got 26g with 7 wraps with my 35 coil master dowell. It was happening even more with 28/32 clapton coils too. Is there a way to avoid this?

Got pics of your build with wicking installed?

Are you getting dry hits and what watts are you running on?

Claptons tend to have more hot spots then regular coils and are harder to get rid off, but once you do it should not return unless you mess with the coils.
You sure it's hot spots and not something else?

Well the strumming seems to fix the burnt taste at least for a bit. I happens on all of my mods I just don't know of what else it could be. Doesn't seem like the atomizer really has anything that could go wrong with it really ,right?

What watts are you running and sounds more like a wicking problem.

Dual coil it's Kanthal. 51 ohms

I know this isn't the fix you want but it'll work. I had the same problem when i used 26g wire. Try twisting the 26g thicker wire is just alot easier to work with. What might be happening is when you wick the coil it shifts and causes a hot spot.

Sounds like coil needs juice..... wicking.... too much or too little in the coil and or too much or too little at the deck and or too much too little in the tank. ....
It's gotta be wicking issue.

If not the mod itself...........

Could it be the Kanthal? It's not the same brand as the clapton . That one was UD the new one is coil master.

I think it's a wicking issue as well. make sure to wick correctly on those style tanks or it's dry hit city
Luckily I have a tutorial

This Thing is making me nuts I'm gonna build some new coils I guess, start again.

Try less wick than bud. The out side of the wick can be saturated yet the cotton is to tight and won't travel between the coil.

Ok thanks

 

[SirRichardRear]

Ok thanks

just use the wicking technique i posted in the video. works everytime on and RDTA. I've been using the same technique on my RDTA box as well for the past week. about 8 tanks vaped on it without a dry hit and coils and cotton still look clean

Ok here it is

If you are pulsing your coils, strumming them, rewicking, refilling, why arent you cleaning your coils? Should probably do that first and then start pulsing/working your coils, makes it easier when you can see them.
