    SmokTech RSST Genesis Rebuildable Atomizer

    1.3mm is quite good, still has decent springy resistance. Did 1.4mm with another Genny and is a little airy but not quite so much as the ZAP which is just shy of 1.6mm (1/16"). 1.3mm - 1.5mm is what I call the "Whistle Zone" as air intake is often audible, and probably why they avoid that range...

    Most affordable stainless steel 18350 mechanical mod?

    I have had the SS Lavafire Mechanical Mod for a while now, and it hits quite good. Flat top too:

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    Applies to 30ga which I have been wrapping. I guess optimally we want only juice on the coil, and only enough so it vaporizes to our tastes. My wiring is tight, just not that tight, and not so much that heat sink issues come into play, and whatever isn't fully against the wick will be bridged...

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    I just received short of a dozen of the newer FC-2000 1/8 ceramic wicks from Tankecig. One of them was cut too thick, about 3.5mm to 9/16 -- perfect. 30ga Kanthal, 4/5 wrap, 1.6ohm ... considerably more vapor when tipped. On par with my 4mm Topfin, but flavor/taste a little better. Drawback...

    That insulator came out with the very first SS wick I pulled sometime ago. A dental scaler will also pull it out if stuck in the hole, or can be pushed down and out through. I don't know if the ZEN wicks not yet released can be sanded down a tad without reducing their wicking effectiveness. But...

    Evic Atomizer Short

    I hear what you are saying. I appreciate your electronics experience. What I'm saying is that nothing whatsoever in, on or around eVic control head gets hot, or even very warm when IMR batteries are used and you want to chain-vape at 1.2ohms with 28ga Kanthal wire. I remove the top connection...

    At 8:34 - 9:25 Smok RSST Busardo Review of the RSST: A PBusardo Review - Smoktech RSST Genesis Atomizer Concerns not mentioned by Busardo: Not much of a seal between the top of the polypropylene tank and the deck/top plate. Potential for leakage in the future. Threading issues. In view of...

    I wonder if he didn't sell out because the RSST seems to have the same 510 connection thread machining issues. One of my AGA-T2s I have had running 18/7 for 2 months now minus a week in the shop and I have had no problems with it ... it's working as well as I had expected it. Very nice atty...

    Evic Atomizer Short

    You won't get overheating problems if a proper battery is used. I'm chain-vaping a 1.2Ω genny right now as we speak on the eVic and it's at best mildly warm using an AW IMR 18650 battery. If I were to put back the stock flattop Samsung 2600 Li-ion battery it would get extremely hot. I have...

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    My first and only broken wick came about that way. I should have removed the o-rings first to check the fit. Never dawned on me then, now I carefully check everything before installing the wick. A good idea to follow all the recommendations. I usually just hot rinse them for a while, but you...

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    Tankecigs ships their wicks in a small poly vial, not sure if others do too. I fill them with 50% PG and 50% VG which gives a tad of a head-start to break them in. I think we've all broken 1 or 2 to get a little reality adjustment on how they need to be handled. In my book, a cost of the...

    What's the point?

    I think mechanical mods are best dedicated to a particular juice or group of juices where a genny can be coiled and wicked specific to that/those. Hence some people have a table full of mechanical mods for such. But when you swap juices all the time in the same genny, electronic PVs are most...

    I got a ZAP. It's nice, happy I have it, but I wouldn't buy a second one. Tons of gennys around for a fraction of the price that vape just as well. Wonder if that cap could then be ordered to fit existing ZAPs.

    Evic Atomizer Short

    eVic ... only went down to as far as 1.2Ω and vapes it quite well up to 11 watts with an AW IMR battery. eVic not suitable for LR vaping, as 3.7 volts is the limit in respect to the above specs. A Joyetech e-mail for the same query stated no less than 1.5Ω. But .8Ω it won't do.

    Greetz Buzz. I'm just relaying what has, and how it has worked for me. Super-tight rolls work for me, but only with thick wicks -- they tend to also leak less when layed down. Add a 28ga/.8mm Kanthal wire to the mix, and I haven't a complaint in the world. I can see with your juices you may...

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    I do them out of maintenance, I don't wait for some circumstance to occur. Usually I vape the juice right down to empty if still tasty, otherwise syringe out the remainder. Then PG wetburn it. In this fashion the tank and wick are always cleaned and it never gets to any point where I have to...

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    I syringe any leftover juice out, turn the Genny/PV upside down and fire just until the coils light up and all the juice is gone from the wick. Then I add .2 to 1ml of PG, swirl it around in the tank for a while to pick up any old juice and then wetburn it away. At the end I again tip the...

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    Brush off any crud from wick/coil. Wetburn with about 1ml of PG. After that, it's completely tasteless without any other lingering flavors or juices left on the wick. I never take it out either, don't need to. Never dryburn. My 1/8+ larger ceramic wicks rarely get gunked up, but then I run low...

    I always tilt too. Even on ceramic where I don't need to, I do anyways because the vape is better. Only thing I can think of is use larger solid wicks the full size of the wickhole itself, as they hold more juice. I had a 4mm (5/32) diameter 220mm SS 500 wick on one of my AGA-T2 and you...

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    Nowadays I 6-volt pulse-anneal the Kanthal wire before even coiling it by connecting the ends to the pos. post and neg screw with the ceramic wick already installed into the genny. The negative fully lined up and screwed down, the pos. post hand-tight only. Then I pulse the Kanthal red-hot for...
