Easily the most informative video I've viewed for wicking. My wicks were burning WAY too fast and I was having to change them twice a day. I can already see a drastic improvement, so thanks very much for making this video. Wishing you the largest and full of flavour clouds, create your own mini ecosystem dude!

Thank You! You just saved my Kanger Dripbox from the garbage can! Well, not literally, but I was ready to give up on wicking coils and dripping and go back to the "out of the box ready to use in your non-drip tank" SubOhm .5 coils setup. I was using too much cotton "bacon" ( love that stuff!). I thought I was supposed to use one of those strips. The whole thing. I was pulling coils with the cotton, getting spit at with hot liquid while it popped and cracked...and the part of the wicking that was in the actual coils was blackish...unlike the exposed portions of the cotton. Your explanation and tutorial gave me much needed information and I am now squonking away happily!

Thanks. Have been struggling so much getting the perfect wick. From popping to dry hits, getting such a nice smooth vape now.

you know I give you a lot of credit ive been watching all the big youtubes trying to figure my shit out I come here and you tell me my exact problem thanks man

New to wicking and having watched a few vids your is the most simplest explained so that's a 👍from me

Iv been using rta for 5 years and your video taught me things. Thanx

Excellent tutorial. Had a popping problem and your method fixed that. Thank you man.

Brilliant. Thank you SO much. I couldn't work out what I was doing wrong. This tutorial has set me straight 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

THANK YOU for explaining in detail for those of us that are brand new. You earned a subscriber

I know this video is old but I appreciated it. Getting into rta’s and rda’s for the first time. I’ve seen people wick before but you gave me some good pointers especially since I was using the same cotton as you. Anyhow thanks for the reassurance

came here to learn why my rda was popping, left knowing why. this man did his job, dont hate.

Thanks man easy to follow. Just got an RDA from a friend and had to wick and your tutorial was perfect.

Good guide, bro! Straight forward and simple, just the way I like it!

thanks for taking time out to make this video. It solved my juice spitting problem.

Thank you for this video. It really helped as I wasn't exactly sure on how much to use!

thanks mate big help, have been getting a lot of popping with my RDA builds, im kind of new to building, so great advice ill see how this build vapes.....

since my fav vape shop is locked down, i now have to learn the wick process, this helped thanks

Bro! I have watched every wicking tutorial on KZfaq and I feel like you explained it beautifully, and I am, for the first time, having no spitback, popping, flooding! Thanks for the badass lesson. The learning curve for rda is for real!

best wicking method. flavor is much more chucking. good amount of vapor. tried it today with my twisted messes rda and its heaven. thanks to you 👏👍

Thanks much for this video!! Wold of difference!! Even newbies haft to start somewhere. The taste and cost unbelievable!! Fun Too when you know what the coil is !

I'm 15 seconds into this video and i can already tell i'm going to enjoy this guys personality more than the video itself

thanks a lot, video helped me a lot. i moved from pads to bacon cotton threads and on the pads i had it by eye to cut the same ammount off. but on the thread you really have to go by feel. these tips work mint.

LOUIS CK STARTED A NEW CAREER!!!

Man I love your enthusiasm great video , I love it!!

Thank you very much, the video was a big help I have used... about 10 pads already trying to wick a dual coil with the Griffin 25 Mini. I haven't tried to wick since I watched yet but I am about to.

Very informative, ive been doing it wrong thanks for this tutorial

local vape store wicked my coil to tight and when I went to check the cotton because I was getting nasty hits the middle was dry AF . thanks for the video!

Thanks man this helps a lot especially i switched to double coil the jellybox

After messing it up more than a few times came across your vid and got it first time other wiser would have gome back to tanks. So anyway thanks for posting this very very helpful.

thank you... all the way from Botswana Africa😀

Thx! This helped me a lot.

Good tutorial! Seeing the 'what happens next comments', they're fair questions. Take your wicks down to the base of your RDA, and snip them at that length. Fluff them up, take off any excess, and when you're happy, tuck the thinned wicks into the well. Then juice up the cotton directly around and on the coils. Fire, and let the vapour come for a couple of fires. Repeat until you can see the wicks are starting to absorb all the juice, then drop some into the well. You want to see capillary action taking juice from the well all the way up the wicks to the coils. Enjoy!

Thanks man ur video really help a lot 👍🏽💨

it feels pretty good when you pull it back and forth

thank you heaps for this video. vaping on my first wick that isn't burning or dry-hitting. cheers

Tried this method and its slick many thanks

Needed this video 👍Thanks for this

Some good points -thank you.

Thank you for great informative video!

Thanks for the tutorial really hepled me 😊 its kinda help full for new vapers like me

very very helpful! thank you for the video

Sweet advice man. Totally agree!

Good video. I didn't realise too much was a problem too.

I used to just cut my wicks to the diameter of my coils. The problem was that when i change my wicks i notice a white spot in the center meaning the coils werent saturated fully after a few days use. After trying your method im getting really good airflow with alot of flavor. Wicking really does play a role in the performance.

Have you released a video that explains the different types of pre-built coils (Clapton, Fused Clapton, Alien, etc) and Kanthal vs SS?

Nice vid. Thanks man

thank you for the tips!

Thanks man,appreciate the info.

Thank you, my previous (and first) build was tasting burned on every hit, I realized it was that and trew it in the trash, started over

Great tutorial, thank you.

I know this is an old video but please wick your coil as tight as you can people. I don't use tanks but this is what I've been doing on my drippers. You can vape more with every drip/squonk. Also check out morten oen's videos about wicking.

Thanks this was very helpful I must of been putting not enough in as it was popping and spitting

Some good info for me there. I’m having a hell of a nightmare learning curve with my first RTA. I vape Humble Smashmouth and Donkey Kahn and they’re so sugary that they were burning out my Uwell Crown 3 coils in sometimes literally ONE DAY! Most I ever got recently with the Crown 3 coils has been 3 days with Humble juice. So I went to the Kylin dual coil RTA. It all seemed so simple in the vape shop where an employee took lots of time to show me from A-Z everything to DIY. However, when it came time for me to DIY, it’s been one nightmare after another trying to get it right so that: 1) I don’t get leaking juice constantly and everywhere 2) I don’t get burnt hits & dry hits This video gave me so good food for thought, but what I really have yet to find is a KZfaq on the exact deck - Kylin dual coil (“Full Steam Ahead”) and how to wick it well enough that those two problems stop plaguing me. On my 6th attempt with new cotton and 3rd set of coils at this point. I’m using pre-made Clapton Fused 2 in 1 coils (and cutting them to fit, of course). And I’m using GetCotn.com (shoe lace end(s)) cotton. I just can’t seem to get it right. Any comment to help this newb (me) out would be tremendously appreciated...at times-so frustrated as I’m sure many of you have experienced. Also a link to any video any of you know of would be awesome too. I don’t know if KZfaq allows me to put my email in here, so I won’t for now. But any help would be such a relief if I could figure it out. I think it’s the wicking that is the main thing I’m doing wrong, but I’m sure it’s not the only thing, there’s probably some minor things I am not doing when I start all over. Have a great night, day...depending on your part of our wonderful world! Thank you in advance, M66

Thank you my man!

thanks for the tip man

He sounds like wreck it ralph “im gonna wreck it!”

Some good tips provided but you should have completed the wicking. How much to trim, apply e juice, fire it etc. I'm not sure who the intended audience would be for this tutorial. Anyone new would be left hanging with an incomplete process, Anyone experienced knows all this already. I am experienced with building on a rta and was looking for a tutorial for a rda. Guess I'll keep looking.

Lol hes said it feels pretty good when you pull it back n forth at 4:50 Haha

Ty for posting

Kendo cotton is THE BEST cotton to use with Malaysian juices like Nasty juice btw. Unlike ALL other cottons, it doesn't disintegrate, go orange or burn after less than 2 days. Yeah it's a harder cotton to prime (it's water proof in till you prime it!) But watch their KZfaq tutorial and it's a breeze once you know how. You have to cover the coil with juice and then nudge the juice into the wick. Then coat the coil and surrounding cotton again before pulsing the coil. The heat turns the cotton from waterproof to massively absorbent, then you just keep pulsing, adding juice, pulsing and adding juice to the coil and wicks until the juice is sucked in right down to the wick tips. Hope this helps y'all

i think the pulling it back and forth realy did it for me thanks

Thanks for teaching me

Thanks so much, didn't know the thingy popped off, was trying to figure out how to get it open to expose the coil, duh!

Sick man!

Thank you!

Just finished wicking my fused clapton coils .15ohms Im buzzed 🙃👌☁☁☁🌬

Sweet thanks for the help, I just got a TFV8 tank and want to give the rda a try and got real fusterated.

thank you my friend

How about some tips on wicking a bft alpha? I love the tank(when the planets align and I wick it correctly) but I'll be damned if I don't wick it 3-4 times just to get it so it's not leaking or making a dry hit

thanks for your video

There's quite a few coils that this way is not the best way. Such as a staple coil, you need to do the Scottish wicking roll method the same for alien coils and almost every type of variations of framed staple coils and basically any coils that holds heat longer then your average coils, then you need to use more compact wicking such as the Scottish roll wicking method or the pancake wicking technique but when you have one of those girthy coils like I mentioned above its important the cotton is really thick and compact so that the cotton doesnt succumb to the heat and collapse the part of the cotton that's in the coil but is still able to wick efficiently without being too tight and cutting off juice to the coil causing you to get a dry hit. That's why sometimes when you go to re-wick. The cotton basically falls out the end of the coils is because that coil held more heat for longer periods and collapsed the cotton, basically it just burns right through it, it's because the cotton wasn't thick or compact enough to compensate for the extra heat the coil held, if that makes any sense. lolz sorry it's so long but it's useful information for getting your wicking just right for the kind of coils you're running and to know there's not just one way of wicking that will work for every type of build.

thanks for the video I just got my first dripper it is a KangerTech 160 drip box in New thank

My comments are late , However the best review on wicking!. Thanks.

First time building and I built on a madusa and was getting dry hits watched this video and realised but too much cotton and so re did it and now running fine thanks much appreciated

great video

Just got a blitzen andits easy to rewick and to the guy with the RDA keep trying you'll get it DONT QUIT

I think I might have a really good idea

This dude sounds like wreck it Ralph

When you are right , you are right , Thanks , excellent explanation .!

thank you you turned my builds form a angry teacher with a lisp to a cool hippy

This video is informative, easy to understand, and pleasant. It is nice to see someone make a video without adding a bit of their 'personality' to their videos. THIS is what people need: information. Hope to see more. And, I know it sounds a bit feminine, but @The Straight Vape you would highly benefit from a manicure!

i use cotton buds

"now lets go back to my purty face" lol that was good haha. nice video it helped out alot

Very helpful

Thanks

it is very helpfull excellent wicking i like it and it work 😀

how tf do you finish it? How do you not show that in a tutorial? lol

so very little resistance and if it pops too much next time make sure it has a little more?

Been vaping a year and a half since quitting cigs, and still can't get that initial pull of the sheet right. Frustration but getting better all the time. Maybe by next year?!

"You don't scare me, I have a Daughter" 😂

Thank you.

You make a wicking tutorial yet you dont show all the steps from start to finish.... knowing where to cut the ends is important too and you have skipped it like its nothing.

thanks !!!

Thank you so much, i finally found out why im getting burned hits

I just did my first wicking and I'm kinda scared how to vape on my hellvape dead rabbit max I wish my coils will work next time I will do single coil. Now I need to learn how to use this beast I'm so used to my sub ohm tank 😂

Everything is on KZfaq these days. This is why I love Google and KZfaq. Ahh.....Good job.

Good shit man, you earned a sub.

So what do you do with the long tails of cotton?

thank you sir

Love the tiny cute mod!!!
