Constant dry hits

[Mobb]

Hope its ok to start this in a new thread. Got the tsunami rda and made a single coil. Put wick in and dry hits. I have put less wick in, more wick in and yet dry hits. Tried muji and cotton bacon v2 . Wick is completely primed and dropped juice down middle and there was juice in rda well. Really having bad luck with vaping since buying a load of gear and am at my wits end .

So tempted to go out and buy some cigs, but I wont.

Anyone have any ideas? Have wicked over 10 times and in the end gave up.

Any pics?

Edit: also what watts are you firing at?

As above.

Tbh In the end I stripped the deck of the coil and stuck the rda back in the box. Will have one last attempt tomorrow and post some pics. I started at 25 watts on a single 0.7 ohm build. I did up the watts but it was still dry hits.

Well let us know when you next give it a shot. A picture might help identify the problem. I'm assuming it's your wicking that's the issue but obviously it's difficult to tell, this is just a guess.

Well I am new to this vaping lark as far as sub ohm etc goes. The coil did glow from middle outwards so I guess that's ok so it must be the wicking. Shall post some pics tomorrow.

Thanks

Reading above, the thing I'm thinking of is a tight wick in the coil....how bad was the cotton burnt?

Hopefully you'll sort it out, but I'm sure a b&m will be able to help you out if we can't

wick was slightly discoloured every time. when pulling wick through it wasnt tight i could move it back and forth, will try again and post some pics.

Might be 1 of them days mate. I have them days where I can't wrap or wick for toffee, and I build for mates every day

Hi, wicked today over 10 times. First couple of hits and like wow so much better than my tanks and then dry and burnt hit. Every time the cotton is slightly burnt in the middle where it is in the coil. I have tried less wick more wick. There is no friction when I pull the wick through. Anyway here is a pic of one of my many failed attempts before I gave up. A question I have been putting the tails down the side of where the airholes are. Do they go at the side or do you put them say around the front of the air holes? Hope that kinda meant sense.

Anyone any idea.

Cheers
