Velocity RDA- Horizontal or Vertical

[HalfLifeZA]

I saw a picture of a vertical coil build on a Velocity and just wanted to know if that is any better than a horizontal one?
I'd be concerned that only 1 side of the wick is in the juice, but it does look like an easier way to do the coils.

Can anyone clarify the better way please?

I prefer them vertical on the Velocity.

And there's no problems with only one side of the cotton in the juice. It wicks properly. I have both my rda' that way. With my Derringer the coils are at 45 degrees, so also only the bottom of the wick lying on the deck. Works a charm

thanks for the info. I'll try it tonight.
I'm really enjoying being able to experiment

Check. The deck is now completely dry, but the remaining juice is all wicked up properly...

isn't it difficult to get the wick in that way?
Do you wick before you put the coils on the deck?

 

[rogue zombie]

Not before.

I pinch the tip to push the cotton through till I can grab it with a tweezer. Then I pull it out the side of the atty, so I can pull it completely through and trim the pinched part off and push the wick back in the atty.

I use 24 guage Kanthal though, so you can be a bit rough with it. It's so thick it doesn't move.

So if you're using thinner wire, just be gentle

Also how is the flavor on vertical compared to std?

I can't really say there's much difference. At least I don't notice. But with vertical there's far less chance of spit-back

I concur with everything @r0gue z0mbie has said here. I also build dual 24g vertical coils on my Velocity and there's no spitback and a far better vaping experience in my opinion

Did you cut the top wick or bend it over the other side ?

Cut it. So only the cotton at the bottom of the coil lies in the juice.

I've done the loop through so its only 1 piece of cotton. Honest opinion is it doesn't make a difference in the velocity

You mean like from 1 coil into the other ?

Yep, bend it over the top so its 1 piece of cotton running through both

Man I've only ever seen it done with the cotton wrapped around the coils, so that's the reason I never tried it.

Oh I see what ur saying, kinda like the Kangertech Vertical OCC coils?

Im not sure exactly how you would achieve that but it might work nicely

I tried the vertical build last night and its cool, but I find the vapour way too hot.
I have a feeling I under-wicked. Should I be using a lot of cotton? I want to get the verticals working coz they look cool

Yes get that cotton through the coils nice and tight

@VapeDude thanks, I'll give it another try tonight.

Now I have to try as well, looks easy enough other than the wicking. But practice makes perfect I guess ;p

Also, push the coils closer to the airholes, than it is to the posts.

I was finding the throat-hit was too much with the coils closer to the posts. So possibly, it could help with the temp. of the vapour. I think.
