Need some advice please folks, ideally from someone that uses the rebuildable for the smok baby beast.
Having a nightmare getting the wicking right. Tried it with the preinstalled claptons. First of all I was getting constant dry hits, I greatly reduced the amount of cotton, this caused the tank to just flood - the liquid was literally peeing out of the air intake. I tried again with slightly more cotton & whilst this stopped the flooding I found I had to get down to 25-30 watts (stock claptons are 0.321 ohms) to stop the vape being harsh. The problem is at this wattage the taste was just dull.
Tonight I took the stock coils out & wrapped my own, increasing the inner diameter from 2 to 2.5mm, the idea being that I should be able to get more cotton & therefore more juice inside them. 9 wraps of 24 gauge kanthal came to 0.439 ohms. Wicked these up so cotton is touching all of the inside without being tight & pulled the end of the wick through the juice holes. Whilst they are better than the stock coils I'm still finding that it's harsh above 50watts & below that still tastes rather dull to me.
I don't believe the cotton I'm using is the issue I use the same cotton in my rda at 120-130 watts with0.2-0.3 coils without issue so I know it can handle heat.
Can anyone give an idea of where I may be going wrong? |
