    Steel mesh not wicking properly

    Solid or Straw? Depends on the wick mesh material type that you have available. A lot of people state that they wick better with 200, 325 mesh. I used VG based liquid and use 500 mesh (Solid) with no issues. Grain does make a difference IMHO. Maybe not a lot when using thin PG based juice. But...

    Aga-T coil problems

    4. You can try pulsing with your battery and sometimes the hotspot will move on down your coil until it is gone (better done with a mechanical mod). 5. Double twist the coil top leg / bottom leg before connecting to the + post or - post respectively (which ever leg is given you the problem). 6...

    Where to find ceramic wicks for aga t+

    If you are talking about the solid porous ceramic wicks then you are at a loss. Either you can make your own (lookup Fishwick threads made from the Top Fin bubbler air filter) to 3/32 or you will have to drill your AGA T+ as Steve W stated. Most ceramic wicks are 1/8 or I have seen the new 7/64...

    RSST questions

    If it is working now then it is a keeper setup. When you think it is time for a new setup, then try the solid wick. Not having to tilt all the time IMO is a nicer way to vape compared to the tilt (playing a trumpet) look.

    Needing some help...

    Totally agree with The Yeti - try a solid wick. Even using 100% VG - a good solid wick will be able to deliver the juice you need. IMO - solid wicks help (a little) with the top hot leg onto the positive post. Because the solid wick helps to draw in the heat as opposed to just burning the top of...

    Steel mesh not wicking properly

    When you say that you rolled your wick perfectly - what type of wick setup. Is it a solid tight rolled wick or a straw type with a hole up the middle?

    Z Atty Pro condensation

    Considering the RBA's create vapor/steam/condensation - the yes. I would think that this is normal. Not all the vapor is sucked out of the chamber by the user. The coil will still be hot and burning off the stream of liquid even after you have stopped pulling on the tip and stopped firing your...

    RSST won't thread onto Provari

    No dude - My RSST is the same. Won't thread on my Provari or my Bolt EDIT - But I screwed the + post down (losing wick height) to get the connection into my battery. Doesn't look right (because of the gap between my PV and the RSST), but at least it works.

    more noob questions. using RSST. I've seen the answers in here but can't find them

    Drilling the air hole will make your drag of the device more airy. This is a preference by some people (I like it more tighter - like a cigarette pull) and obviously helps with the air flow in the chamber. Still not sure why you would get a sweeter taste using SS mesh. Maybe the sweetness has...

    Felt wicks for RBAs? Anyone have experience?

    Similar characteristics to cotton - not sure why this has not been tried before. Felt is a woolen material, but don't know how that it will react to heat of a hot coil (fall apart because of the manufacturer process). Hopefully someone in the forum has maybe already tried it??? Sounds...

    more noob questions. using RSST. I've seen the answers in here but can't find them

    "gurgling" is usually caused when your juice get over the air hole in the top cap. Take off the cap and clean inside. Maybe you are tilting too much or you are wicking the juice too effectively (try turning up the voltage). Trying silica will not get you any performance (IMO) increase than SS...

    First RBA

    There are some very cheap RBA's out there. IMHO some very bad one's and some acceptable. There are also the other extreme. The very expensive RBA's (ZAP, Cobra etc), which are great, again IMHO, do not justify the price differential. I would recommend trying AGA T2 or the RSST. Both are great...

    Just started on a Genesis W/ Mesh Wick and I'm at the verge of giving up...

    Looks like there are more and more people turning to RBA's (which I think is great). Remember to clean out your 'new' devices when they arrive. Sometimes the manufacturers of these devices do not have the spotless and there maybe something funky left behind (I have experience this is some of...

    I am thinking about 100% VG.

    Just remember - if you go for 100% VG you will be missing out on throat hit and flavor! Many others just go with a mix. It is really down to the individual to choose their preference. I personally use 60 PG & 40VG. I like the taste and the throat hit while still getting adequate amounts of vapor!

    New AGA-T users with wicking problems!

    eHuman is spot on folks!! His blog is probably one of the most informative posts that I have read. Very concise and very clear. Like most people - the AGA T (I have the AGA T2) can give you lots of problems. If you can master getting a great setup with this RBA, then you can set up any other. It...

    Do you think ceramic wicks are better than Stainless Steel Mesh?

    Graybuck - Where do you buy your ceramic wick with the channel cut or are you making your own? I am finding it very hard to find a supply for my Cobra. I would need 3/32" to fit the Cobra wicking hole.
