Guys . I'm a newbie who recently switched from iStick 20 watts with nautilus mini to a d2 with subtank mini v3 .

Started vaping the d2 at 25 watts 0.5ohm when I first got it . Clouds and flavors are awesome . But days later I felt some burnt taste regularly when I vape for a longer period like 7 seconds . So I decided to rewick it myself ( first time after looking up videos on Google ) and it caught a small fire on top of the cotton when I tried to fire it without screwing the top cap and everything back on again 😨

May I ask is this normal ?

Then the next day I went to the time square vape shop and asks them to rewick it for me after my terrible experience . They mention that d2 doesn't have the cut off thing in their chip thus making the d2 fire at a very high power even tho I set it at 7 watts only .

And right now even after they rewick it for me . Time to time I can feel some meletup sound . Again , is this normal ?

One newbie seeking help and wanted to vape safely 😅
Thanks guys !

I own a D2 too and have the same problem like you before.  You may want to switch to TC mode (even with Kanthal), firing in Joules, which will be same like a PWM, it will power down and it works like a charm for me so far.  Give it a try.

Hi sir . Thanks for the swift reply . I tried changing it to joules mode at 150 Celsius . The mod shows 'No Liquid' .

Is it because I'm using the stock coil ?

Try to lock the resistance (by pushing + and -) and it will fire.  Enjoy your vape  smile.gif

It works sir ! 😍 I'm firing at 22 Joules . It's good ! I felt less power and smoother intake .

So it's perfectly fine to use the joules mode with the khantal ?

Tried nenen juice.

One of the worst juice I've ever tasted. It is extremely cloying.

Local juices are either very sweet or very menthol-ly.

I'm sticking with US juices from now on.

Bought nenen recently . Feels like mild santan smells to me . It tastes like the old white rabbit candy too hahaha

There is a few vaping behavior you gotta adjust/change.

First, after rewick, make sure do some primal pull to ensure the juice are flowing properly in the chamber. 
Second, make sure the airflow is open to the max when you are looking to do long drags.
Third,  meletup sound is showing that the chamber is flooded. Most probably not enough wicking on the RBA. When the RBA flooded and you use low wattage, instead of vaporizing, its boiling. Thus the subtank will spit on your mouth (yes i know it doesnt sound right)

Sooner or later you'll get it right.

PS: I hope ur using subtank v3. v2 rba sucks.

Hi sir . Yes fortunately I'm using the v3 subtank .
I don't understand what does flooding of the chamber means ?

And what about the cotton catching fire ? That's so terrifying ? 😔😔😔

cotton catching fire?  blink.gif

u dry burn with cotton? or u test fire without wetting the cotton?

I dropped dew drops liquid on the cotton d before test fire . Maybe the watts I set too high and it caught fire . I'm pretty sure it's wet enuf but I have no idea why it caught fire . Damn scary 😱

Nothing shaking. Havent ordered almost in 2 month from FT cause been bulk ordering from somewhere else.
I saw there is a thread Authentic vs Clone for subtank rba v3 at FT forums

https://www.fasttech.com/forums/2390700/t/1...c-vs-clone-pics

spotted few shops here selling it as well (clone)
Which one layan you? tattoo dude, tattoo pretty girl, or fat fat with twatlight girl no expression face girl?
Flooding means that the juice enters the rba (chamber) and floods it. Means you will get spitting.

Cotton catching fire most probably resistance is not right + wattage = burn

I see . So do I have to clean it up to prevent the letup letup sound ?

Good explanation sir . Big ups for you (y)

Hey I tried blowing the air holes when I'm firing . The letup letup is less frequent now . But heard some guys say after the next recoil it would be ok . I'm not too sure 😫
