Wotofo Serpent Mini 25mm

@SpiralSequence Try this: The cotton must stick out a little bit more through the rectangular holes under the ring. When wicking, try to pull the cotton out a bit more with a sharp nose tweezer.

Works for me.

Serpent Mini 25 Pit Stop... all rewicked and the flavour explosion is there like a bear! Ready for the weekend vape baby! :b1:

My weekend won't be all about my 3 Serpent Mini 25 & 22 tanks. But I did get the SM22 back out around the witching hour tonight, recoiled and rewicked it for a fairly new DIY I'm greatly enjoying right now. Gave it a 3mm 26N80 coil and Cotton Bacon V2 "ungroomed" wick. First time it hasn't leaked, so that kind of concludes that the KGD pulled/rolled doesn't work as well in them as the pulled/rolled CB V2. Flavor is OK too, but like in the SM25's not as good as it always is in the Avo 24's and Avo Genesis'. So I haven't found "my" builds for the SM's yet, but I will.

Well that is a Chicken Dinner! :b1:
 
I have suffered from all the above problems but perseverance is key. So u will only get dry hits if u hav either stuffed too much cotton into the coil so it's not feeding, or too much cotton in the juice holes. When wicking make sure ur cotton is not too tight in the coil if it is, take it out and trim it, it should sit comfortably. U don't need too much cotton with the serpent. Make the Bow tie as and trim away quite a lot of the cotton (once again u do NOT need a lot of cotton to wick effectively) u only want to tuck the slightest whisps of the end of the cotton into those juice holes u shouldn't be stuffing it or forcing it in. Only thin whispers of cotton TUCKED into the juice holes and fluffed. image.jpeg image.jpegimage.jpeg
If u can c the cotton is thin in the juice holes only to prevent leaking and just to start the wicking. Then it gradually gets thicker and wicks the thicker piece held In the coil.

U will not hav dry hits and it will wick cleanly. And when filling the tank to the brim it always seems to leak slightly probably due to pressure so maybe don't fill it all the way at once time.

If flavour is muted try raise up the coil slightly use ur jig or something to raise it up further from the airflow hole. Almost to 5mm. The further down and close to the air flow hole, the less flavour. I am by no means a coil building expert but I hav tried everything with this tank and failed many times and my success came about in raising the coil, using a little less cotton and trimming it fairly thin. That's jus my piece vapors.

Try not. Do or do not. There is no try. (My yoda quote for the day)
 
I never got dry hits in any of my SM's (the 25's or the 22) at all, not even when chain vaping with my long DLH's. But I did get constant leaking using pulled/rolled KGD wicks following the groomed wicking method. So I changed to a new to me wicking material, pulled/rolled Cotton Bacon V2, changed to using ungroomed wicks and the leaks went away immediately. I used the same amount of wicking for my big coils with both cottons that completely fill the joose wells, so am not sure if it was the CB or the ungroomed wicking method that made the difference for my uses. Either way the SM's are working fine, and I'll eventually get my coil builds dialed in for each joose I run in the SM's to get the flavor I want from each of them. I have only ran dual coils in the 25's... but duals are always my preferance so doubt I'll ever use the single coil decks in either of mine.

Also not sure if anyone mentioned this, when refilling this Tank i noticed that you should not fill right to the brim, leave an air bubble near the top and then put the cap back on.

my experience is when i didnt leave an air bubble the cap would force the ELiquid down and then i would get a bit of leaking initially

Great advice thanks @Daniel Alves !
Couldnt figure out why i sometimes got a small bit leaking out the airholes just after filling

I don't get a single drop of leaking even when filling to the brim.

Close off the airflow before filling.

Fill the tank.

Put the cap back on.

Then turn the tank upside down so that the juice moves away from the channels.

Finally open up the airflow and turn it upright and screw back onto the mod.

Anyone tried the sapor mini rta 25mm yet? I see its top airflow

I am also interested to hear comments, Apparently the flavour isnt as good as the sm25 (but then again, what is) considering its basically leak proof, this should be a great "on the go" tank.
 
Question... Is anyones build deck wobbly on the one side on the single coil deck. Im not sure if thats normal. but one side of the post goes up and down slightly. Resitance still stays constant tho

i think yours is a clone :coleman:
 
No major gripes with mine. Only three little ones: the tank is too small. But it is a mini, after all. Second: the airflow ring is a little difficult to open and close as it is too close to the base and very stiff. Last, those terrible little grub screws that strip to easily. Other than that, loving my two. Won't part with them. I use them daily.

I'm also more of a MTL vaper but hell it changed my view when I tried it - I now have 3. Well worth it

Thx, do you find RLHs good or is wide open vaping better on these just tried wide open on the Melo almost died. Suppose depends on the build thinking a TC build SS might be the ticket.....
 
@Daniel I use the single deck and either build a SS Clapton, 6 wraps, +- 0.6ohms & run it in TC, or a 24g ni80, 7 wraps also +-0.6ohms in power mode. Play with the airflow & find what suites you - me depends how I feel at the time.
