So here it is, my first ever DIY build on my shiny new Steam Crave Aromamizer Supreme v3. I used one of the 2 prebuilt coils that were included in the kit (no doubt thanks to @Timwis and others ). It only took me about 2 hours lol. I’m still playing around with the wattage but it seems like I will be sticking somewhere between 35-40w to achieve a similar level of flavour that I get from my TFV16 at 120w so my batteries should last a while longer.
Yeah, I did plenty of pulsing to make sure there were no hotspots and again multiple times after putting a bit of juice on there to soak it in to the wick.
Did the coil flex back and forth, after you pulled it(the cotton) through, and centered it? In other word’s, snug enough that by tugging on the cotton, the coil move’s with it.
Yeah it felt like a pretty snug fit.
I’ve literally just pulled the cotton out to do it again with more cotton and there appeared to be a dry bit that was right inside the coil, even though I drenched it with juice multiple times while I was pulsing it.
There are member’s here with much more experience than me, but the popping has alway’s resulted from loose cotton/rayon. Someone else will probably jump in and offer a fix!
It’s all a learning process for me. Even if I mess up, I’m still learning what NOT to do lol. I’m about to make tiny gaps between each loop to allow for more juice saturation, then re-wick and see if it makes any difference.
