Gone and done it now!

It was quite tight pulling it through. Think I will have to start again but unsure if I need to clean the coils and deck before I do.

Nah, just take the wick out and give the coil a quick burn to clean it up, then make sure there's adequate wick in the coil and in the wells.

Did you thin the tails of the wicks out? I can see that you`ve crammed the wicks into the juice wells, that can create a pinch point and prevent proper wicking so not enough juice is getting to the coils, hence 3 decent drags then crap. Find some different videos to watch, there are plenty about.

It's a bit difficult to see buddy, but yes don't think i did it right. Only have a tooth pick to fluff them up.

There is a knack to it, I find it best to put a small screwdriver under the wick and lift it just enough so that I can get the wick ends into the juice well, ideally what you are after is all the wick ends just touching the deck with no folds.

I was getting mouthfuls of juice, then thats all i got!

Ok final update of the day, had enough since starting at the start of this thread!

Rewicked and set device to 70w with coils at 0.18 ohms.
Seems better but getting a lot of loud pops and some spitting, as if the coils are flooded which goes the harder I pull on it.

Thanks again guys and really sorry to bombard you all.

Makes a pleasant change answering vape queries rather than the usual psih about cats and word-chains, you just keeping asking away, you'll get there.

Dont give in, try 55 watts with the air flow fully open, if that`s better take it up in 2 watt steps. If that`s no better drain the tank, remove the wick and dry everything off, including blowing down the drip tip. If you used all of the cotton supplied, try with about 2/3 the thickness, some manufacturers have a strange idea of how much cotton it takes to fill a 3mm coil, rebuild the atty, refill and leave it for 15 minutes to soak the wick, try at 50 watts and increase in small amounts until you get a decent vape.
You dont always need 70 watts to get a decent vape out of .19 ohm coils, you should start feeling it at about 55, then it`s personal preference.

Honestly mate, we all started off the same. It takes some people time and other just get it. Stick with it and it will come naturally.
