No luck in building RDTA and RBA

As for leaking, it's a fine line, I've built so many but I still can't guarantee it's not going to leak, but make sure none of your cotton is hanging over the air intake will prevent most leaks, also it's best to vape straight away after you've primed your coil and filled with juice, if it spits juice for more than a few draws it's going to leak, my solution for this is:

Take the tank off, get some kitchen roll and blow the juice out, it will waste some but the leak should stop, you can tell if you suck through the tank while it's still off, if it's all air you are good to go, if it's still sucking juice you need to rewick.

Why do people need to build stupidly low ohms ? I would say never build below 0.11 on any device imo

Hello guys, that's my first post in here after reading countless post for the last half a year!

Being hones I have problems with building my own set ups. I have Geekvape Avocado 24 Bottom airflow and SMOK Prince RBA and I had no luck with building in them for last week. I literally tried every combination of cotton and three different coils - no luck. There is little to no flavour compared to my stock Q4 coil which tastes lovely! Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Here are some pictures of my latest build which I think is the best but still far from decent:

Thank you!

Just an unrelated observation, if you are planning on building as low as 0.09 ohms make sure you are using top notch batteries in your mods, your regulated Smok mod should keep you safe, but just something to bear in mind if you move to mechs anytime. 0.09 ohms at 79w is getting up close to 30A.

Hey thanks all for answers, nearly all are very helpful I've build it with some random premade coils from tiny vape shop, anyway they went up to 0.125 after I unscrewed the tank, I don't even know what these coils are rated for. Anyway, it's about practicing wicking art right now, being honest I find it easier with muji pads than with the cotton bacon as I can mark how much I use every time and improve consistency - not to mention that these are waaaay cheaper. I will come back with update about wicking, and thank you all again

Some people find different types of cotton easier to work with. I found bacon broken down quickly, so I use kendo which is unbleached. I think bacon is bleached.

I couldn't get the smok rba to work for me. Any other was fine but not the smok

Thanks man

Update: I think I overdid it this time, it started to wick like crazy but at the same time I was getting a lot of popping from the tank - more cotton next time?

Difference being on a mech you cannot set the wattage to 79w like you can on a Smok. The battery voltage dictates the power along with the resistance. A .09 build with freshly charged battery will be putting out 196w and drawing 46 amp.

Do you think your cotton out? Popping isn't an issue really you known spitting yes popping no
