You don't need a mech to rebuild. That is actually bad advice for someone that has just started RBAs. You should definitely start with a dripper. They are probably the easiest to start out with, plus the vape will probably be on the level with what you are looking for.
Once you get more apt at...
You are out of luck with the Kanthal. Home Depot and the like does not carry Kanthal. You could pick up some cotton balls or cotton yarn though. You are stuck with mail order or paying high prices.
2.5-3 ohms is very high for 28 gauge Kanthal. Really, the resistance you get is determined by how long the piece of Kanthal is between the positive and negative post. Considering 28 gauge is 5.27 ohms/foot, you would have to be using 5-7 inches of it to get to the resistance you are getting...
I think dicount vapers had them up for cheaper. FYI, they are not all created equal. Personally, I like the ones from Madvapes the best. They were a bit sturdier than the ones I got from SVC.
I bought some from Buckys Bargain Vaping too. They are a bit shorter and may not work in the...
I don't understand why you would wash the mesh with soap and water?
In all reality, the only part of the mesh that has to be oxidized is the part that the Kanthal touches, meaning you really do not have to char the whole wick. I oxidize both sides before rolling the mesh up. I oxidize the mesh...
I love my Ithaka clone; however, it requires the use of NR wire, as does the Oddy clone. You can buy .999 silver or nickel wire. The coil itself is further away from the +\- posts than other RBAs. Thus, it will get too hot if you don't use the nonresistance wire. You can pick up these instead...
Does it come in a box that looks like it is made by iSmoka? $10 is not a huge discount. It's too new of a clone to make much money selling fakes.
Finally, did you ask the people at the store!?
Sounds like a hot spot or a short. What did you do to oxidize the wick? Did you burn some juice on the wick before you put it in the coil? Some people say that is an optional step, but it really does help.
Try taking out the mesh and fire the coil. Get the resistance without the mesh. When you...
The University I attend has banned smoking on campus (even outside). To protest this, I stealth vape anywhere and everywhere I can. The University anti-smoking policy explicitly states that there is no smoking any "tobacco product" and thus, says nothing about smoking or vaping anything else...
