okay, there maybe a number of things i am doing wrong... or it maybe be a simple trick i am just unaware of that will fix me up.
got an orchid, my first and only RBA. i have many many RDA's.
my first set up on the orchid was a 24g kanthal build. 6 wrap around a 3/32 bit. dual coil. .22 ohm i think? can't remember for sure...
i was have terrible issues with wicking. i tried cilia but mainly used cotton. there are 4 trenches in the base, one for each cotton ear on my dual coil build. i have tried different amounts of cotton in those trenches. had too much and couldn't screw down the cover. and have had so little that i lose all of my juice through the air holes, after setting it down for an hour or so. it would wick just not fast enough. i kept thinking that i needed to find the perfect amount of cotton. but after thinking about it, thought maybe my build was too hot and burned the juice too fast and the cotton can't keep up. because specifically, my problem is after 3 or 4 mediocre chain hits, i get a throat burning dry hit. i want to be able to suck the tank dry without stopping, and not get a dry hit. maybe this is not possible?
i changed my build from the above to a 26g kanthal 7 wrap around a 3/32 bit @ .41 ohm. now on my 4th or 5th hit, its too dry to enjoy. i can taste it on the 3rd hit or so, faintly. if i have to run a rinky dink 1.3 ohm coil ill just say forget it and pitch it. because i have been using 26650 mech's with 60a batteries with dual parallel 22g 6 wrap around 3/32 its about .08 .07 ohm. and it chucks like a train. so i feel like I'm breathing through a coffee straw over a campfire with this thing right now.
can some one please tell me how to achieve constant wetness on my coils?
