    SmokTech RSST Genesis Rebuildable Atomizer

    Definite leakage...both at the center pin and top of tank. Not sure how juice is getting around the bottom...won't know till I disassemble. I'm assuming it's around the center tube. Lack of sealing at the top of the tank I'm guessing.

    Nice ride man. No we don't have Fry's here unfortunately.

    DUD builds

    Grommets fine, though a bit sloppy after 2 weeks of heavy vaping. Definitely inside the tube. Used shrink wrap to cover middle 2/3 of center post and continuity gone. Recoiled, reading 1.4 ohms and fires fine. Going to look for a PTFE tube to replace grommets and insure no contact in tube going...

    Thanks TBinAZ but I haven't given up yet...though if I don't get this figured out I'll keep the offer in mind.

    DUD builds

    I checked the battery end and no apparent contact. The contact has to be somewhere along that positive post if I'm getting continuity between threads and the center post. Believe me, I couldn't see how this was happening, but the meter don't lie. Started to question the meter, so I took a known...

    DUD builds

    I did in fact make a clear tube for mine, but I've tested it without the tube in place and I'm getting continuity between the center pin and ground. Whether the center tube was solidly grounded to the top or not there should be no continuity between the center post and 510 threads. There's a...

    Good idea.

    DUD builds

    After 2 weeks of using my DUD I come across my first big problem - a short somewhere in the center tube. Unit stopped firing, so I checked my coils...everything fine. Just to be sure I recoiled. Still nothing on my Lavatube. Checked resistance...way high. Started thinking my trusty mesh wick was...

    FYI: Smoktech making Genesis-style atty

    Makes perfect sense as I can see the volcanic action going on - was wondering as everyone in the videos seems to just slip it off the paper clip and have at it. I'll try rolling that hole well down. I suppose if the hole is virtually non-existent it wouldn't matter for the wicking, but I also...

    FYI: Smoktech making Genesis-style atty

    Yup, drilled out the hole next to the neg post. Getting no hotspots (now that I've done this about a dozen times I must be good at it.) My problem seems to be overwicking. My last was 2" long by 1/2" wide, then trimmed to length. Still having the problem after running 3-4ml through. Lots of...

    FYI: Smoktech making Genesis-style atty

    I'm having nightmares with my 3 Vivi tank rebuilds using stainless steel #400 mesh. My wraps are going fine but I'm having serious wicking issues - to the point of putting them down and using other things. I can't seem to get the wrap right or the airflow right. I've drilled a 3/64 hole in the...

    New Super Concentrated Flavors

    Short of putting them on a Columian donkey I do believe very strongly in uncapped steeping. Some pre-mixes I've bought had a very strong perfume odor and uncapped seemed to help somewhat. Capped didn't seem to help remove the perfume flavor. There are some premixes that nothing short of the...

    New Super Concentrated Flavors

    White Coffee seems to have a very strong carmelish note - unmixed it didn't smell too appetizing. Haven't tried in a mix, but I don't think by itself it would be for me.

    New Super Concentrated Flavors

    Exhaling out the nose does nothing, but 4% with a bath and 24 hour soak seems to make a big difference. What I can't figure out is why crappy mixes I've made in the past had plenty of lousy flavor right away. Maybe I'm overly sensitive to certain flavors and need help with others. At least...

    New Super Concentrated Flavors

    Mix with no nic didn't change things, but I did find out that I'm taste-bud challenged. Bumping up the percent to 4 made a big difference. Finally I have made something that doesn't taste like total crap!:)

    Sounds more like a last vape in the electric chair.

    New Super Concentrated Flavors

    Like anything else some premixed juices have a strong flavor (not necessarily a pleasant one) and some can be weak. For example the WOW 555 PG has a decent though odd flavor - good but can become tiring. Not an all-day vape for me. I can't give up my coffee...I'll take a life! But I do agree...
