Cotton and RBA Building

[Harrison]

Hello,

I'm trying to build my RBA but a lot of the time it say's OHM TOO LOW or leaks. I want to know how to stop this. I use Cotton Bacon, but I find it quite hard to do and want to know if cotton pads would be better.

First off can you let us know what RBA, coil type & ohm & mod.
If you can post pics of the deck as well would be great.
As a general rule pads are easier to be consistent with than Cotton Bacon.

I use a Smok TFv12 Prince RBA.
I use these premade coils: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pre-Made...var=562051701671&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
My mod is a Smok T-Priv 3.

Yes.

You can't help then @iqon, you got the same problems So have I

Yes.

Have you tried, just before you fully seal it, turn it upside down to create a vacuum.

What do you mean a vacuum?

The tank works on the principle of a
partial vacuum. That’s how it’s supposed to avoid leaking. A vacuum is where there is no air in a system. This works in the same way as holding your finger on the top of a straw that has liquid in it. As long as your finger forms a seal the liquid won’t come out the bottom of the straw and appears to be defying gravity. Your tank is supposed to work the same way. So when you’re closing the top, it causes pressure and pushes liquid out the tank via the wicks/airholes. If you flip it upside down before it makes a seal and then close it, you might avoid this.

Another option would just be to buy a decent atty and ditch the smok.

As said turn it upside down, works wonders.
