    "The Russian" 91% (Kayfun Lite Clone With A Twist)

    I'm not sub, but right at the 1ohm range.. when I get 'burnt' or consistently 'off' hits, I unscrew the top piece a bit to break the vacuum seal, and then put it right back on. That usually fixes things for me. By top piece, I'm referring to the top 'cap', or the top-most portion of the tank...

    "The Russian" 91% (Kayfun Lite Clone With A Twist)

    The center pin is actually two pieces.. A screw (that you see) and then further into the device, that screw connects to a rod that threads into the deck holding that bridge in place. They come very tightly connected from the factory, so that if you need to adjust the center pin (raise or lower...

    "The Russian" 91% (Kayfun Lite Clone With A Twist)

    I've had my 91 for about 2 months now.. Just yesterday did I break down and fix the damn center pin/post.. this is a million times better. If you were struggling with the screw not making contact with your mods and/or the bridge moving around on you, take the time and fix it up. So much better now.

    Smoktech RSST RBA?

    If you've never built a genesis style RBA before, I'd order both 28 & 30 awg kanthal.. try 300 or 400 mesh. You can get all of these from ebay easily, but many online shops sell them as well. Double check, your RSST may come with mesh and wire.. It's been a long time since I ordered mine.

    How long does an Ahlusion order usually take to process? ... this is odd?

    Got everything in today.. I appreciate the box vs envelope.. Testing out Royal Tease now.. they all smelled amazing.

    Funky exhale.. AGA-T2

    OK, rebuilt it 2-3 more times today and finally got it going.. Got rid of the washer, still had some issues but I think it was the coil was too lose, creating some sneaky hot spots. I had been wrapping the coil around 3/32 drill bit and the wick around a 5/64nd bit, and then placing the bit in...

    RBA noob questions

    Wire diameter is part of what determines resistance.. Larger wire, less resistance, cooler temps. However, airflow also plays a factor.. Larger (or multiple) air-hole means more cool air from the outside entering the chamber, cooler overall vapor. It's a balancing act.

    Funky exhale.. AGA-T2

    Definitely possible, but I've noticed the same taste before with my Line's and they didn't use a washer. FWIW, the washer was just an extra from the RSST bag.. The RSST uses the same washers and the taste isn't there. I'm not happy with it, somethings just not right. I tore it down and will...

    How long does an Ahlusion order usually take to process? ... this is odd?

    Just jumping in here as well.. Placed order Aug 5 (after having the first one declined.. they need to fix that, it's very strange.. how about a 'Hey, that didn't work! Try again' like every other store in the universe :) ). My 2nd order (same as the first, but approved) is still at 'confirmed'...

    Funky exhale.. AGA-T2

    Thanks..! Yeah, it's such a subtle taste, but it's present on every exhale.. it's definitely not a juice taste. I'll run this 1/3 tank through it and see how it goes before deciding to tear it down again..

    Funky exhale.. AGA-T2

    I went three rounds with this damn thing before finally getting rid of that infamous top hot spot (washer method). Now I'm getting a slightly 'funky' exhale, and I'm wondering what that might be. My RSST didn't have this taste on exhale, so I'm wondering if perhaps I'm getting a short on the...

    RSST Top Cap

    No prob! I got the slotty and edgy myself.. they work great, it'll even take the entire top cap off if you pull with the drip tip. They stick in there really solidly.

    RSST Top Cap

    Just wanted to jump in here because I noticed the same thing with some tips I had (and of course, the stock rsst tip).. I just got some of the Vapelab drip tips in from AltSmoke and they fit the RSST like a glove.. dual o-rings as well. Might be a bit pricy for some, but they fit great...

    Rsst tank question

    Drilling out the airhole made a big difference for me.. thought mine is a bit airy now. I went straight to 1/16", so I'd suggest starting smaller and working your way up. I just didn't have a smaller drill bit at the time. You can buy replacement caps as well if you screw it up.

    Kanthal Wire help

    I can get a 2/3 wrap to ~1.5 ohm with 32awg.. 3/4 ends up over 2 ohm easily. I've ordered 30 to play with, but IMO, with an RSST there's no need to go under 30.

    Argg, Hot Legs

    As was mentioned, coils should not be glowing with liquid present. You may have a wicking problem if they glow during normal usage (and I would imagine it wouldn't taste that great, either). Assuming by hot legs we're talking about the end points of the coil that connect to the +/- posts.. I...

    S&S MODS Home of the DEFCON RE-BUILDABLE ATTY

    Got mine!! But I think I blew the LED on it already.. :( Chopper, do the lights run up to 5-6V? It did light up on my provari a few times, then I saw the coil was wrapped to ~2.5 ohms, so I upped to 4.9V and no light.. :( Still vapes though.

    S&S MODS now open

    don't worry about extra wicks, man.. once you've made them, they take like 7-8 minutes to bust out a new one.. for us, that's not bad, since we use one at a time.. for you, making 10-20 at a time, it's a huge waste of time.. :)
