60/40 VG/PG not wicking?

[Viper_SA]

Hi all,
Looking for some advice. A while back I diluted some horrible tasting juice with Dolly Varden VG. I still got vapor off the hits, but it tasted like smoke. Tasteless smoke and burned the throat. I asked on the Whatsapp group and was told that maybe it was wicking up to the coil, but not entirely around the coil. I chucked the juice.

Then I ordered some Voodoo juice in 60/40. Worked great on the Evod 2, but on the Nautilus mini and Aspire ET-S BVC it does the same thing... Will vape perfectly for couple of hours, and then suddenly I get the mouth full of smoke taste again....

Could it be that the 60/40 ratio is not wicking properly in the BVC coils? If so, how can I try to fix the issue?

Thanks

RTA - rebuildable tank atomizer
RDA - rebuildable dripper atomizer

Asolutely! And just when you have that down pat, we shall give you bottom feed devices. Wait, @shaunnadan has a Reo, let him show you that. Kudos @shaunnadan.

Spot on! Just one more you might encounter: RBA (ReBuildable Atomizer) - which simply refers to all atomizers that are rebuildable.
In other words all RTAs and RDAs are RBAs.

For those that are interested and haven't stripped one yet, that is what the Aspire BVC looks like
Trying to decide if it would be worth the cost and effort to re-wick it. Looks like a lot of effort just to strip it down to drill out the holes in it.....

@Viper_SA do your self a favour and get that RTA that was offered to you. A lot more simple and will save you money and time and energy in the long run

@Viper_SA Brother never lose faith I started on the same route and yes I'm a Nooby
I had dry hits after dry hits using 3 to 4 coils a week and at R40 a pop not cheap.
I then got my self a RBA on recommendation on this forum, did some research on You-tube and ecigssa.co.za on how to build it.
My first taught was I don't have all the special tools and skill to do this and what if I blow something up all my money down the drain.
Well let me tell you, you don't need special skill or special equipment to do a build. I was so surprised on how easy it was to build a coil and wick it. The best part is for the price of a R50 coil you can almost build 20 or more of your own coils.

If Shaun hasn't changed his mind, I'd love to get the RTA, but in the meantime I have spent the cash on the Nautilus Mini, so instead of letting it sit in a closet, it would be nice to be able to use it as well....

Still waiting to hear back from Shaun, but I am curiouswhat the recommendations would be. RTA or RDA to begin with? What brand, wick material and wire etc?

Replaced the last coils from the same batch on one each of the ET-S and Evod 2. Been vaping all day on the two without issue. Convinced it was a wicking issue. Unfortunately I burnt up my last Nautilus mini coil last night, so unable to test it on the Hengthavorn juice. I miss the clouds from the mini, even though they are nothing compared to some of the big guns' clouds here

I'm relay a noob and cant really recommend any RBA's at this stage I use the RBA sections of my Kanger Sub-tanks and they are a great and a easy build. For coils I use 28G Kanthal resistance wire and Organic Japanese Cotton for wicks all obtainable very cheap from our great forum vendors.
Sure @shaunnadan will sort you out quite nice Bro and if I may quote @Alex Kudos @shaunnadan
If you like the RBA's and want to get in the market, the more experienced members will guide you to the right RBA that can suit your needs and pocket.

ps: Defiantly gonna get me 1 or 2 RDA's, I don't really need them just a must try VAPING GEAR THING

Hey

So spent the day out and about in ct! Some gorgeous weather right now.

 

[shaunnadan]

So il give you the "tools of the trade" enough to easily build coils . Wire and wick included. You can decide from there what you prefer to use.

I still need to see what I've got back home but il give you a hint... It's a goodie !!!

Honestly don't know what to say, except "Thank You"

 

[Viper_SA]

lol, I now know this feeling

 

[Viper_SA]

Just a heads-up. I have 2 very new Evod 2 clearo's that I will pass on to @shaunnadan when h brings through the rta for me. He seems to get around quite a bit and I want to give back a little, since everyone have been so nice to me. So, if anyone finds themselves in a position where they might want and Evod 2, just hit @shaunnadan up. They don't have coils in though....

 

[DoubleD]

Just want to cut in here and say, @shaunnadan dude, seriously wow! I take my hat off to you Sir! You're karma is probably at level 1000 or at very least it should be.
