FEV 4.5S Wicking

[bl4dy]

Hey good people,

Got my FEV today and it's not been the best experience regarding wicking.

Have a 2.5mm 1.3ohm spaced coil quite a bit of cotton buy the deck ends up flooding all the time in fact after a pull I see bubbles non stop .

I use 50/50 juice .

If anyone could help by showing me some of your wicking methods I would appreciate.

Btw there's so much juice that it gurgles when using a 1mm airflow pin , very weird , it seemed very straight forward.

Thanks

Might be a weird question have you put the coil the right way I know I done it wrong first time I trued building one they go a weird way when you looks at another rta and put the wicking sticks let's call them in the top of the deck

Two pics showing coil orientation so the cotton go's over the top of the screw heads and the wicking sticks

I've watched some videos to get acquainted with the tank , and yes I did build this way , it's a bit higher than yours .

And I got the tubes in as well, quite a bit of cotton above the posts so technically it should be alright, but it floods all the time

That's exactly how I do , unless it's not enough wick

I'll try that later today

Btw how is tcr with 29g SS ?

Fine! Though usually I would be using 24AWG
