I have made a few hybrid wicks and my best performance was from a cotton surrounded by a thin layer of SS mesh (just to minimize the chance of dry burning). Everything had to be rolled quite loose. Worked pretty good on the higher gauge wire (30 / 32) and shot for around 2 ohms. And yes - it was...
MustangSallie - just one more suggestion. You could try the Cobra clone and if you like it, you could get the real version (glass tank, titanium, top quality). I have both myself and I love my Cobra (the real one). Loads of options with wick/ coil on the real Cobra.
I only suggested the RSST for...
Couldn't agree more. My best setup is still with 30g kanthal hot wrapped. Took me a lot of practice and 1 broken FC wick to get it right. Take your time when wrapping your coil (slow, steady and even pressure) and the result is definitely worth it. The smoothness of the vape is fantastic...
Do you have the materials for a <1 ohm setup. I use my IGO L at 0.9 Ohms and crank it up to 3.7V at this thing hit so well! 30 Gauge or even 28g would be good. Ribbon kanthal even better. I have used my 0.5mm x 0.1mm ribbon on this also and the TH, V & F was great.
Maybe I have been getting...
Hi STLJohnny.
How long have you had the wick/ coil installed? By this, I mean how many tanks of juice have you gone thru? Typically you would need at least 2/3 tanks before the performance is best (if you have set it up correctly). Give it some time to bed in i.e. the wick and coil need to...
Only suggested the RSST to be a tester for a more expensive RBA and if MustangSallie likes it, she could move onto the AC9 (with the bullet proof glass tank).
Only thing else that I can think of - are you washing your mesh before you start. I normally put some dish washing liquid on my mesh and then wash it off with hot water (some guys even boil it). I do it more of a habit now to eliminate any oil or leftovers from the manufacturer/ supplier.
I...
Corgi - why not start from the other end? I mean, figure out exactly what type of TH, V & F you are looking for and then decide what materials (gauge of wire, wick type etc) could give you that in your AGA T2.
Sounds like you are trying every combination and the seeing if that works.
Just a...
You could try an RSST. If you get this figured out and working, this could lead you to the AC9 (the RSST is the clone of the AC9).
You might even keep the RSST as this is quite a good RBA for less $'s and get the performance you require.
The RSST is a good one to start with and IMO and can be a...
Cutting the mesh in a diagonal will not help your wicking issue (I only do this for U wicks). I agree with Rule62 on the lengthwise grain when using a single vertical wick.
Are you over oxidizing your wick (not able to breathe) and clogging up the grain? Have you tried pulsing an non oxidized...
Thanks looks a nice piece of kit. Especially with the Provari (looks as though it was made for it)! What was the Euro price?
Edit: Sorry didn't see the link above!:facepalm:
Everyone who starts into RBA's will have questions. None of them are stupid. But, it you don't ask, you will have to figure it out yourself (like the more experienced at RBA's). I only wish I had of known about this site a few years ago and ask some vets and saved myself a lot of headache!!
