This idiot needs help

[JustTheNewGuy]

Hey guys, I'm totally new to this stuff.
My friend just bought me a SMOK M80 mod, Lemo Drop, Kangertech v3 and Dark Horse Dripper.
I'm using Kangertech for now. I have this problem that my ohm change by every hit. I change my cotton 1 time for every 2 days. I'm using wattage mode and my watt is 21.
For the Lemo, I don't even know how to open it. (Yes I'm a noob) I don't have any time to go to the store because I have work from 1400 till 0000.
In advance thanks for the help.

Bump for member help
Hi and welcome to VU, You'll get some help here soon!!!!!!!!!

I think the bottom of the lemo unscrews unless you got it cross threaded.
As far as the ohms not being read correctly, first check the screws in the posts that they are snug not cutting the wire. Check the bottom pin that it is snug not over tight and making contact.

Here's a build video for the Lemo, which has the same RBA deck.

 

[JustTheNewGuy]

Ok. My lemo now working. Thx guys.
Now for my kangertech. My ohm keeps changing.

I'm not understanding "v3", is it a pro-tank v3 or one of the sub tanks?

 

[JustTheNewGuy]

Subtank.

 

[Teresa P]

Are you using the OCC coil or the rba deck?

 

[JustTheNewGuy]

I'M Using RBA deck miss.

 

[Teresa P]

Make sure the screws on the coils are tightened down. It's easy to loosen them while wicking. Also make sure the rba head is screwed tightly into the base. Either of these can make your ohm readings "jump."

 

[JustTheNewGuy]

I just did what you asked and now "Check Atomizer". Hahaha. I'm so hopeless.. x'D

 

[Teresa P]

Have you adjusted your contact pin?

 

[JustTheNewGuy]

Contact pin?

 

[Teresa P]

In the center of the air flow controller is a big gold pin. This is what makes contact with the mod when you screw the tank onto it. You can use a q-tip or something comparable to push that pin out a little bit, then screw the tank onto the mod.
Also check to see that your positive/negative blocks are tight and straight on the rba. The part that protrudes underneath the rba (there are two holes in it) holds those in place and needs to be snugly screwed in.
Personally, I have a sub tank with a bad air flow control valve that gives me these same readings. If none of the above fixes your issues, you may have a bad one as well.

All done and it work

All done and it work

 

[JustTheNewGuy]

Now it taste like cotton.

 

[Teresa P]

Lol! Not much to do about that but wait for the juice to wear it down.
Have you considered wicking with rayon?

 

[JustTheNewGuy]

Rayon?

 

[JustTheNewGuy]

Not sure whether this is correct or not.

 

[Teresa P]

Yep....you can find it at most beauty supply houses. I got mine from eBay. I think it makes the flavor of the juice "brighter" and cleaner. It lasts longer than cotton. And there's very little flavor transfer from one tank to the next if switching flavors.

 

[JustTheNewGuy]

Is this correct? It taste like cotton.

 

[JustTheNewGuy]

I think I'm gonna try it soon miss.

 

[Teresa P]

Looks like a dirty coil from the picture, but you can burn that off. Just remove the cotton and fire the mod intermittently untill all the "crud" burns off the coil. You can gently swipe the residue off with a soft brush. Just make sure the coil is cool before you rewick.

 

[JustTheNewGuy]

I just did that just now. using a baby toothbrush. i wipe everything using cottonbud. Its all clean and dry. Still taste like cotton or burnt cotton.

 

[Neunerball]

In your picture, it looks like you're using too much cotton. Therefore, the wick is choked at the coil, thus causing "dry hits", which taste like s.... (and cotton).

 

[Teresa P]

I use those baby toothbrushes too.
Hard to say for sure....is your wick dry? I saturate mine with juice before I put the chimney and cap back on. Is your wattage too high? Maybe go lower till you hit your sweet spot with the taste.

I don't have much advice to offer as I am new to building but I would like to say something...

You aren't an idiot!
The only stupid question is one that goes unasked.
