A couple of apes have not received the clone and some are struggling with the best build
I have had the genuine since January and have basically tried every kind of coil and wick in it and this in my personal opinion is the most reliable way to wick without getting any leaks or dry hits

The clone may have slight differences so you may have to play a little

I have found that the best coil for me is a 0.30 and 0.32 twisted coil wrapped round a blue screwdriver coming in at around 0.77 ohms

I use a muji pad cutting a regular strip off, then take off the outer (skin) of the muji

Thread the muji through the coil making it tightish but make sure it can be moved back and forward easily - leave the ends long

Pop the slotted section over the top make sure not to trap any cotton when pressing it in place

Pull the cotton legs down and line up the base either cotton on the large vertical slots

Adjust the slots where necessary to make sure no awkward angles and the cotton goes through pretty straight

Trim the cotton just very slightly past the knurled ring of the base - a couple of mm

Next up is the juice control over the top and slide round until you have two equal size gaps in the vertical slots - one each side

While holding the juice control in place use tweezers or similar to fluff up the ends of the cotton, then I blow gently on them to open up all the fibres as wide as possible back to the coil

Gently use your bottle or dropper to soak the fluffed up cotton and put the top cap on

ImageUploadedByPlanet of the Vapes1432758725.067694.jpgImageUploadedByPlanet of the Vapes1432758736.823795.jpg

Once the top cap is tightened on, carefully using tweezers manipulate the cotton so that it covers the entire air hole from top to bottom with no gaps

ImageUploadedByPlanet of the Vapes1432758817.046691.jpg

Make sure that the cotton does not protrude past the knurling or it will foul and come out when tightening, try and get it in nice and tight like the pic - any gaps will leak

I wouldn't have thought this would work with such a big wick but trust me I have never had it leak once

Cheers for this. I don't actually have one of these, but this is the kind of helpful post that sadly seems to be diminishing from here. It's all moan, moan, moan of late!

This is absolutely excellent My Friend. ;)
All the more so, because that is exactly how I did this build for the first time yesterday. I didn't do the twisted coil, but using 32 gauge wire, I have got a really nice build at 1.1ohms and it is doing really well. I have found that cranking the watts a bit more than I usually would has paid dividends too.

Can't thank you enough for taking the time to do this, excellent clear shots and a great description.

I owe you Sah! :57::thumbup::worship:

Not a problem bud, saved me watching corrie with the wife !

I normally have the 0.77 build up at about 21 watts and it's perfect, i can go higher and still keeps up wicking with high vg juice
