Thanks, for a first wick and vape, that went well. Lol. And thanks to Daniel for making coils easier for me
if you scale it up, think of the wick like a wet cloth and your hands as the coil: looser is where the water is drawn to the middle of your hand. if you squeeze it, the middle will be dry but the ends will be wet. same can happen to your cotton, but the cloth just gets bigger (hand stays the same) and it chokes itself out.
When you press the fire button, it makes the coil sound like my ex when angry.
Like a coil with too much cotton.
EDIT: PS: Nah, on a serious note.. if you swing a rattlesnake around for 32 seconds and then show it pictures of Trump, you get that distinctive hiss that signals the dry hit coming from the burning cotton.
See, they are quite different. If i did that with mine there followed the opposite of a hiss and dry hit, called a screech and snot klap!

Ok I took @Raindance's advice - rewick as I was tasting burnt cotton.
Made it a wee bit thicker and strangely enough, I am getting flavour on 45w. Plus extra clouds...
A small adjustment makes the world a better place. Haha

Is it just me or do I find that UD cotton wicks better and doesn't burn every few hits?
So far it's working out better for me with UD cotton.
I must be strange. Lol
Edit: wait, I also made a small adjustment by bringing the coils up a bit higher. Maybe that also made a difference

What do you mean?
I find that if I increase from 40 to 45, it starts to taste burned...
@vicTor that's not gonna help - spitback and not enough clouds. Lol. I love my clouds.
spitback at 35w ?
non comprehendo !
just to clarify, we're talking your Zeus dual right ?
im on smiley aliens, dual also at 0.33, 34w, beautiful vape
your coils are too high, in my opinion,
i suck at searching for things on this forum, but @Moerse Rooikat did a small build review when he first got his and if you look at the pic of the side view of one of the pillars, the bottom of the coils should be visible, that's what i did and boss vape !
@Moerse Rooikat help me out with the link to that post please

I did exactly that, kept getting a burnt taste every few hits. @smilelykumeenit suggested raising them up a bit.
Plus I rewicked with different cotton. No issues now.
I need to figure how this bacon cotton prime - too thick or too thin.
UD gave me no issues - I had a better flavour with the peppermint crisp where the cb-p gave me candle-like fumes - was rather gross tbh.
Eeek now I'm down to 35w lol
Here's a video of the Zeus in action
Thanks to @smilelykumeenit and his time in helping me sort my issue out.
I am sorted out. That tank drinks like an alcoholic!!!! Awesome flavour and clouds like a steam train at 30w with the aliens at 0.35 ohms!
Winner, winner chicken dinner!

I'm thinking about getting an RDA.
What would you all recommend? Pros and cons? Single or dual coils?
I would personally prefer it in black.

Hi @RainstormZA
RDAs are great to just drip occasionally and try out new flavours.
I find RDAs easier to change wicks and clean - than tanks.
The negative is having to drip, so for me its not a "workhorse vape" - rather just for occasional evening enjoyment when chilling.
Also nice to sometimes experiment with "flavour creep" and mixing things up - ie drip a bit of this and a bit of that to see what happens. In my case I experiment with adding menthol to things to see what happens. Or adding a dessert to a tobacco. Yum.
I'd say go for single coil for ease of use unless you want a big monster vape. Easier to coil and wick a single.
Am loving my Hadaly - and I always love my Petri V2 RDA (but thats dual). Those are flavour machines with restricted lung hit airflow.
Lots to choose from on the RDA front
@Silver is quite right - but there are RDA's with pretty deep juice wells that you can squeeze juice into and it lasts a good 20-30 minutes (depending on how fast/much you vape, obviously). I have the Sapor V2 as well as the Dead Rabbit 24, and I love them both. Great flavour, and it can hold a ton of juice if you want it to.
I do have the Hadaly as well, but IMO if you're going to use a Hadaly you have to squonk it. If you top-drip it, it can literally only hold 6 (six) drops of liquid. Any more than that and it starts coming out the sides like a... okay not continuing that analogy.
I've never been into squonks but went ahead and got my first one yesterday. I must say it's opened my eyes. The full flavour of an RDA with the convenience of a tank. Normally drippers for me were for going out and trying juices or sitting watching tv, they were never for traveling or for an all-day device. But now I have a 7ml capacity and the ability to still drip if I want. Can't really ask for more than that.
Currently got my dead rabbit on the new squonk and what a winner. Nice deep well holds lots of liquid (even if you choose not to squonk) and amazing clouds of flavour.
