E cig dripper noob, needs help
    #22441665 - 10/27/15 07:19 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

So i just bought a smok x cube 2 mod with a mutation x v 3 tank. I just built my first coil for it, and now I'm tweaking myself out wondering if i used the wrong cotton. I used 100% natural cotton. Is this any different than organic cotton? God typing that out feels retarded, but i really don't want this thing to blow up in my lungs. The tank is getting really hot really fast when i only hit it for a sec.

I would have posted in the vapers united forum if there were at least 1 other person viewing it, but there isn't so to the pub i go.

Also, feel free to discuss any noob mistakes you might have made if you started e cigging with little knowledge of it.

What's the coil reading? Where did you get the cotton from?

If you are concerned about chemicals in your cotton, at least boil it and dry it before using it. Get japanese cotton pads.
If your RDA is getting super hot after just a second, you did something wrong, or have a short, or coil touching the metal or something. Rebuild.

I think my cotton is fine (bought it in a grocery store) i was mostly worried because it said low density polyethylene (pretty sure thats the bags ingredients).

Does anyone have any tutorial vids they can recommend? If you can post the link instead of embedding it, im using a playstation to post all this.:lol: I swear i set it up percextly, but it sire as hell isn't hitting perfectly.:shrug:

Would to much liquid be doing it? It's reading 60W .69 (horseshoe , ohms right?) 0.00 V. Im using klapton 26 guage prebuilt coils, kroger brand triple size 100% natural cotton balls.

I'll hit it a few seconds and it seems to get obscenely harsh on my throat. I'm usingg a 6 mg climax desert liquid. Tastes pretty good. Am i just not used to a dripper so the harshness is catching me offguard? E cig stores closed so i'm SOL there. The coil isn't touching anything other than the+ - slots.

I think it may have caught me offguard :facepalm: it's nothing unbearable atm.

uhhh what? polyethylene is not cotton dude, that's plastic. Stop that shit.
Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Stop immediately, go to the drugstore and get some real cotton.
Jesus fuck.

Does it say 100% cotton? If so, should be fine. If it were some polyethylene-cotton blend, it wouldn't be 100% cotton.

My guess is it's getting hot so fast, and giving you painful hits, because your running the wattage too high for the coil you have. Either make a coil with more mass, or turn down the wattage. If you have a big coil and running at very low wattage and still getting painful hits, it's likely you're either using too much or too little cotton in the coil. Both can cause dry hits.

It was under the packaging recycling label. Pretty sure the bag is polyethylene and the cotton is 100% natural cotton. It definitely is referring to the bag. :lol:

it says "ldpe goes into plastic bags and grocery sacks dry cleaning bags and flexible film packaging. Also some bottles."

I think i just used a lil to much cotton for my wicking.

Definitely used to much cotton, just compared it to the wick they built me in the store i got it. Probly used double or triple the amount. Would it hurt anything to just cut a little cotton off at this point?

The length doesn't matter as much, it's the diameter of the cotton and how tightly packed into the coil itself is. Pull it out, dry burn the coil and rinse the coil off, then rewick with new cotton.

Dry burn as in basically activate the e cig without any wick in it? Earlier i was doing that to try and shape the coil to fit in better(video said to make sure it heated red evenly and to use pliers to move around while hot to make it fit better) and it said ohm to high, then it refused to heat up that pair of coils(pretty sure i tried everything in settings) so i tossed them aside and put different coils in and it worked fine.

Sorry I'm just down to four coils and the pair thats in there so I'm trying to be extra cautious as i don't wanna get more till the weekend.

And ideally i want it to be somewhat fluffy inside the coil?

Well the dry burn isn't totally nessecary but if there's any cotton that got burned onto the coil from repeated dry hitting, you're gonna keep tasting and feeling that burned cotton. Dry burning burns everything off, and rinsing it washes everything away. The ohms shouldn't change just because you dry burn. Up to you whether to do it or not.

As for the wicking, you just barely want it to have resistance as you pull it through the coil. It should not take any real effort to pull through, but it shouldn't just pass straight through to the point you could push it in instead of pull it through.

To much cotton. Hits like a charm now.

In case anyone else runs into this question, YES ORGANIC=NATURAL.

And they all lived happily ever after.

:bumpthread: Ok so i just made a new coil again. Pretty sure its about the same amount of cotton as last time when i did it right. My last coil said ohms to high, which i assume means that coil was cashed out, or does it mean i did something wrong?

Anyway i built a new coil, let the liquid soak in a bit, and i hit it and it hit fine. Beautifully actually, but if i hit it for more then three seconds i get a bright orange glow inside the tank. What does this glow mean? It really feels like its hitting fine, but idk if I'm about to light my lungs on fire.
