STOP THROWING AWAY COILS

Yeah you're probably up a bit too high. Builds tend to pop when they're too high because you're overheating the juice too quickly. But you're not getting any of that popping in your face thanks to that cap. Love that.

Darkening can happen more quickly, but it happens with colored juices and also depends on your style.

Thanks...It's even happening at 50watts....should I really be below 50 watts on a .28?

The answer lies within yourself. Back it down to 40 and see how it goes.

Welcome you are.

By the way, while asking for advice is always welcome and encouraged here, there's also nothing wrong with a bunch of DIY experimentation on your own. Nothing helps you learn faster than screwing it up on your own, believe me.

Oh, and you do need to put real coils on that thing too. Fused Clapton, man!

LOL yeah yeah i know...still popping at 40....I'm guessing it has to do with cheap ass coils that came with IM.

Hi TW - how true that is - I used a whole spool of wire trying to make my first coil and when I did get one that was reasonable I ruined it trying to fit it in the RDA. Now I build and fit coils without even thinking about it.

I'm still in therapy over some of the trauma I induced while trying to wind my own coils at first. I can't even talk about it yet.

But here I am, wrapping Clapton for a toodle build on a modified IM deck. Go figure.
