Hi guys I ordered a cobra/chobra from fasttech which arrived today, I oxidised the wick and recoiled, it came out at 1.6ohms, but no matter what voltage I try it at it gives me a burnt taste  I don't know what the problem could be, if anyone has a solution please help It's not been a good start into the world Of RBA's :/ Thanks Not wanting to sound stupid but when you use it are you tilting it in the horizontal position with the wick at the bottom to aid the juice to flow down the wick to the coil? Yes its wicking well but its the taste, need to sort those hotspots :/ Also I've noticed none of my drip tips fit in the top hole is quite narrow. |

As long as it fits the hole without rubbing hard on the sides the wick should be useable, You may need to do the genny tilt if its not wicking at an optimum though. Ok will keep that in mind, I think I'll put it to the side for now until I get some more SS mesh Do you think 500 mesh is ok? Thanks |

Who can tell me Tim cheapest uk dealer to buy a vamo 3 or 4 from complete with batteries and charger as don't think could wait 4 to 6 weeks for fast tech or is it worth the wait It's definitely worth the wait mate it takes about 9 to 11 days after its been shipped, You can't go wrong for £20-£30 I got mine from their. You get a tracking number so it tells you when it has arrived in the country then a couple of days after that it gets delivered A couple of other sites some good folks on here told me about were Health cabin Vapour break *happy vaping* Edit: I'm not sure about batteries tho considering the recent changes made by the Royal Mail |

First, did you wash everything before starting? Once it's clean you can then go ahead and coil it up. Once coiled you'll need to check that the coils glow evenly when completely dry. If not, move the coils around until they do so. How does the coil light up? From leg upwards/downwards? Or from the centre of the coil outwards? Does one leg glow brighter than the rest of the coil? Best case scenario is a nicely spaced coil with the legs as short as possible. You also need to make sure that the coil is neither too loose or too tight on the wick material.. Once you've done all of that the last thing to do before filling it up is to check for hot spots. When the wick is saturated, there should be no glowing from any of the coil. This can be very fiddly and sometimes time consuming if a hot spot does decide to rear it's ugly head! You say that it's the same regardless of voltage.. does your device have protection against shorts? Ie is it a mod such as a vamo/provari/evic etc? Or is it a spinner/twist that just regulates voltage? The juice you're using.. am I to assume you've used it in another atty with no issues? Very good advice there, most problems come from jumping into wetting the wick before the coil is sorted out, too many reviewers rushing through the process on camera! Agree too excellent advice! That is what happened on my first attempt I filled with juice before I checked for hotspots :/ I don't know how good the SS wick is That came with it but that's all I've got to use at the moment |

Thanks, yes I'm using a vamo V3 The juice is my own 50/50 blend and does well in the protank @ 2.2ohms at 4.x volts |

Have got that with all the genesis when I started, it realyy is a matter of fiddling about, usually the burnt taste is down to a short somewhere, if the coil is glowing in only one spot then thats the problem and you will need to move the wick around until it glows evenly. If that isn't the problem then it could be a multitude of sins. I'm afraid whilst everyone can give you advice it really is a case keep experimenting till u get it right. Not too helpfull I know but the best I can do, there are undoubtedly more experienced people than me that can help you. Thanks for the reply I'm still having problems with hotspots I drilled a 1.5ml hole to get a more airy draw too |

I will try the agr first & then move onto the trap tank. Also want to find the rubbery black drip tip Phil uses would be good too. I've been wondering where to get one of them too, isn't that called a "slap you mama thingy" or something along those lines lol |
