Dvarw RTA DL from KHW Mods in Hungary

YES MAN - you know when you get that happy feeling deep in your belly - from the first puff I got that. I found the build relatively easy, using a 26g x2 SS316L + 36g Ni80. 6Wrap .3 Ohm

Ok I must be the silliest nana here or the whole Gaggle, Juice all over but top cap was in place.

This photo was taken after the cleanup, the last thing I was going to do is grab my phone to take a photo with juice running down my mod :-@
In a moment of thoughtlessness I filled the tank and merrily flipped it to screw onto the base.
DON'T TURN THE TANK, TURN THE MOD UPSIDE DOWN TO SCREW THE TANK ON.
 
20180819_064755.jpg straw hack working like a boss, had to take a few puffs otherwise it looks empty.
 
The straw-hack worked like a charm... the dodgy part for me was after filling it to the max, and screw it to the deck and find out after 3 puffs my wick is burnt... (my fault, the wick was already cooking for 7 days)

I successfully reinserted my straw and unscrewed the tank, no spillage. Then placed this “tower of pizza” against my vape bag and another mod, balancing on the straw... all good, phew!

Enter stage left my 3 year old... wanting to see what I’m doing, he knocked down my “balancing tank act”...

Just push your straw in level with the top of the where the driptip inserts , then you can place the tank flat on the table (obviously no driptip should be present :) ) HTH
 
Quick question .....
Coil height on DL what’s the consensus:
• Coil as low as possible
• Coil in middle
• Coil as high as possible
I have found that when the coil is to high it does seem to effect wicking in that wicks bend upwards in juice holes almost throttling/restricting the juice flow

Would also like to know.
 
My Dvarw's are all either packed or have fresh coils and wicks and ready to hit the road in the AM... but let me look at previous pics for what I consider the optimum height. Bear in mind the coil is a 2.5mm Ni80 Alien at around the 0.4Ω mark and fired at 28 watts. Juice is obviously Red Pill 3mg 50/50. The wick is Titanium Fibre cotton. I consider this as close to perfection as I have ever had.

I like the top of the coil to be a couple of millimetres higher than the top of the screws.

I run it straight in the middle, haven't really experimented with coil height yet, it's worked for me from the start.

Enjoyed the review @Daniel. Isn't that the Ultem Steamtuners uplift you had in the video? If so, my understanding is that they are fine with citrus & fruity juices (that's the reason I bought one) - correct me if I'm wrong though?

No it's the clear on , the juice is VERY WELL steeped LOL .... and thanks glad you enjoyed the video ....
 
I wanted to ask about wicking...
I've been using the Exocet/through wicking method, and have found flavour to be fantastic this way, but have had some minor juice seepage out of the airflow hole - not drastic, but fairly slow & consistent, and I notice it when I tilt the atomiser over with the airflow hole facing down.
Has anyone else experienced this with this wicking method and resolved it?

Using the same method and have never had a drop of juice leaking in the 2 weeks I have been using the Dvarw. Using a 3mm ID coil with TFC or CB Prime and not thinning the cotton out, just fluffing the ends. Wicking like a champ,bubbles galore.

Good to know - I obviously just need to try harder.
I find the difficult thing with this wicking method is getting the wick nicely/easily through the holes from the inside without forcing or ramming it through

I promise to fire up the camera and do a video... I'm sure people are just not doing it right... The secret is to go tight through a 2.5mm alien coil.

That would be very helpful, thanks @Rob Fisher
I know @Silver also had some queries about this method

I hear you @Darth Vaper
I also tried to go right through the whole caboodle with the wick but it did weep a bit afterward - I think it was @Christos who mentioned this - and he was right.
Now I just do "bunny ears" and gently prod it into the wicking holes so it sticks out a bit. Last two wicks like that have been perfect. I think Rob's comment of making the wick a bit fatter also helps.

Love these little mystical tricks and tips of wicking the various devices...
 
Major Dvarw PitStop... deep clean, new coils (the Coil Company Ni80 Nano Aliens 3x29/38 6 wrap 0.4Ω, fresh wick (Titanium Fiber Cotton) and fresh Red Pill 3mg. Not sure a vape can be any better than this!
