I get almost no bubbless.. Maybe 1 every 5-10 puffs. What am i doing wrong?
Well I take a long-ish draw of about 3~4 secs maybe in total
(I'm on 6mg but use a bit more juice say 40ml to 45ml on B/H weekend)
soz for detail but just saying....
I get a small bubble after a draw "most" of the time on the 3.5
When priming it like I said I get a large bubble or so
BUT different tanks & all that & different users/draws etc....
However the lack of bubbles "could" be why your cotton is getting burnt
but in picture the cotton looks saturated alright either side of coil
BUT that does not mean the cotton isn't choking inside the coil
& then not getting replenished by the saturated cotton at the sides
Your picture "looked" OK to me but what cotton are you using and grain direction etc....
(I know I said this before & tried the Scottish roll etc...)
But something ain't right and if it isn't the juice, it must be the way the cotton is wicking
It could be a defective tank (unlikely)
Or like I have said some tanks some people just can't get on with
(there has been one or two I just couldn't get on with myself)
yet others say it's the best thing piece of piss etc.....
My thoughts on your mates tank working great with juice etc...
Well fucking swap tanks with ya mate
or
Get him to do the next build
But that isn't helpful I know
You say you don't see the bubbles very often - but depends on light draws & stuff
but could indicate the cotton/wicking is not right/shit
I've mentioned the grain - Scottish roll you tried did improve it a bit but still not 100%
Perhaps look to try another cotton - borrow a bit from ya m8
or another type - I got a free sample of some shit called "Just Cotton"
(should have been called "Just Shit" coz it was)
plus some freebie cotton which wasn't bad but got some Muji which seemed better
You probably are using Muji maybe, therefore must be something in your technique
I'd try another bit of cotton, or get ya m8 to try & wick it for you and watch what he does
Somehow or other I'd be tempted to try another "decent" bit of cotton
practice a bit more before you give up the ghost/tank
If you get no joy after all this, if your mod can take a 24mm tank
fuck it buy the 3.5ml it is piss easy to build and you would have to be ultra unlucky
& completely fucking useless to not get it up & running

I'd persevere a bit more though, ponce a bit of cotton or ask ya m8 to build it next time
before giving up and buying another tank
Really think it is just a bit of bad luck, refining your wicking technique with decent cotton
other than that - the possible lack of bubbles, which is the juice being replenished to wick
that is a potential indicator that the wicking is still not quite correct imho
(but different draws/tanks vary but I see a small bubble on most draws I take)
