Advice on build please

[xtc263]

Hi guys anytime I make a build if I go over 20 watts or so I start getting burnt hits even though in the tutorials for these builds the guys doin them are up at 40 and 50 watts. I'm using jap cotton. Any ideas wat I'm doing wrong? Too much or too little cotton
Thanks

To much cotton or juice too vg heavy are the two usual causes of dry hits due to poor wicking in my experience.

In the Subtank Mini i have found 0.4mm or 26AGW kanthal works best i usually do 4 or 5 wraps spaced not touching on a 2.5mm rod.
Wicking i pull the ears up and screw on the atomizer barrel section and trim the cotton about 1 or 2mm above the barrel then i gently push the cotton down so it's resting on the deck then gently pull the cotton away from the wall of the atomizer barrel and that's it, then i just prime it and put the tank together and go.
I've tried a bunch of other methods and that one works best for me.
The trick is just to keep the cotton as fluffy as possible and not compress it.

Even then it performs best at around 25w to 28w.
I can push it higher up to around 35w even 40w but you're going to start to get a dry hit after a couple of pulls at that much power.

I vape 70% VG juice.

It also helps to give a good hearty toke on the bugger too not a gentle pull.
