New Coil Has Hole

[Emmahlea]

hey, guys. Just signed up cause I need advice!

Just changed my coil and the new one has a hole in the cotton. It's pretty small but when I blow into the mouth piece, I see bubbles coming from only that hole and liquid leaks out more easily. Is this going to harm my vape in any way?

The only way it could adversely affect your vaping is if you are getting juice spitting back (turn up your power a little bit) or dry, burnt, taste (turn your power down a little bit)
I'm using the toptank mini with mini RBA right now. It is the first rebuildable atomizer I purchased, even before I bought an actual mod. I used it on my ecig battery for a couple months. (6 to 16 watts.. coil builders will laugh their butts off if they haven't tried it. lol)

Don't blow in it. With the OCC coils from Kangertech there are a bad quality batches coming now and then... it happens, and wont affect your vaping since it's vertical coils.
Enjoy

The reason is, your tank has a vacuum that holds the juice in so it doesn't leak out through the juice holes and air holes in the bottom. The only time you should ever blow into your mod, is if you have to preheat a heavy coil build. You see a lot of cloud chasers doing this because they use massive coil builds, I've seen dual coil builds at 16 wraps per coil on a 3.5mm core. Those require a little time to heat up before you can get vape for a cloud.

Thanks for all your replies! It ended up burning in about two days, and they usually last me a week. Didn't leak too much!

That's what I would dub Holey Coils. I use 4 wraps of 28 awg Kanthal for my dual coils on a 3mm inner diameter/core. This lets me have about net .5 ohms firing in my RDA, each coil is around 1 ohm. I get some fair sized clouds too. Not that I consider myself part of the "Cloudz Bra!" scene. I'm more of a moderate vaper, moderate everything. *chuckles*

To be honest, I wouldn't trust any build made by anyone that uses the term Cloudz or Bra. I mean, Christ, if they can't spell BRO or CLOUDS...do you really want to trust their math?

You have the right idea. Build to what you want for your vape experience. And if you have questions about "what if I wanted this..." just ask.
