Nope..hold that thought...small hits are great. i still cant "hit it" ..its still all burnt tasting when i try and properly hit it.

just took delivery of a proper bit of wire today though (as linked to in this thread ) so i will wrap that up and see ..

its probably that you have to much cotton in the juice wells
the old saying was if its not leaking you prob have to much cotton in it lol

Ok, i am game..I will suck this one dry and then do it again with less cotton

By no means am I an expert but everything points to a dry vape,do you fluff and thin the cotton and trim so the cotton sits neatly in the well,with 3mm coils sometimes the cotton is too thick for the well,I've done it loads of times and ended up with dry hits cause the cotton is not pulling in the juice,I use the pointed tool in a miniature screwdriver set to fluff and thin out,going ok now for me

Well Chilly, my learned friend...

yes,. I have been fluffing and primping and priming.. maybe I haven't fluffed quite enough, or primped or primed quite enough..

I have primped and primed and fluffed, maybe i should have fluffed when i should have primped?

What the fuck is primping and who brought it up? I think it was me ..

Ok, lets forget primping.

The posty just delivered some decent wire, so i will have a play.

Thanks for your help

too much cotton too far into the well could well be your issue .... if the cotton can be seen in the well its too far as it will expand an choke itself.... fill the hole and no further.....top airflow means it aint ever gonna leak

oh and once youve wicked it after a cople of days check it, it will need a trim

Good luck my friend, as cat says above,cotton swells with the juice so less is more or just enough, hehe,it's a total nightmare to get these rta's vaping,I was banging my head but I persevered ,still get a little seepage but I can live with that till I learn some more
