Hare are the pics!
This atty creates a ton of vapor! I'm all nic'd right now

The first pics are from a little experiment I did with a "micro coil" made with twisted 32 gauge kanthal and cotton. I was just kidding around last night, waiting for my vape mail, but it wasn't bad!

Congrats!! Just got one myself, however I won't have my mesh till Thursday ..... Wrapped some Ekowool and dumped in there, getting clouds of vapor but no flavor... Hopefully mesh will restore my faith.... Congrats on the purchase and beautiful wrap!

By the way, this atty is solid, good looks and construction. I got it from OKC Vapes, fair price and quick shipment; I highly recommend them.
Thanks, try cotton, I took a few tooths before I put the mesh, and it was good! Look on youtube for a video from rip trippers on Genesis in Auto-Feeding mode, or something like that.
Did you oxidize your mesh in any way? Torch it before rolling? Adding juice to the tip where the coils make contact and burn with a lighter or just by pulsing and removing hot spots?
Halcon, congrats and good choice. The RSSTs are fantastic Gennies, especially as a first one.
Merlin21, I do completely untorched/unburnt wicks in my RSSTs and "oxidize" using the pulse method (with a mech), and the wick takes on a more tan/brown color; the pics show a black wick, so I assume it was torch oxidized. The RSST is the only one of my Gennies where I can do the pulse method consistently and in a reasonable amount of time, probably because of the insulated wick hole, and one of the reasons I like them so much.

Thanks for the reply Endor. Unfortunately I do not have a mechanical. I tried it unoxidized on a vamo. I did the drill bit method with the coil and they were glowing beautifully until I inserted the unoxidized mesh, it would read 2.1 and when trying to pulse it would drop to 1.1 and the Vamo would error out, I am assuming because of hotspots? I took the mesh out and did the juice and burn with lighter method and then wrapped a coil around it and that did the trick. It is working but flavor is on light side, hopefully it is just break in period.
Edit: Sorry Halcon, did not want to hijack your thread.

That is most likely due to it shorting through the mesh... the oxidation process is there to create an insulating layer between the conductive SS mesh and the coil (path of least resistance and all). A mech is kind of like the Honey Badger when it comes to shorts like that...
but regulated devices will flip out.
I did oxidize it. I basically follow the procedure of pbusardo (except that I used a clip in the center to roll it): roll, water/torch 3/4 times, burn juice 3/4 times and I cut the tip with a slant.
It was very easy and fast, and I didn't had a lot of problems with hot spots. I don't have a mech, so I couldn't try the pulsing method, but I don't think I'll ever try it, since it puts a lot of stress in the batteries.

Yes, unfortunately, the pulse method requires a mech IMHO. Since the mesh is bare metal when you first insert it, it will short like crazy. No regulated mod is going to like this. The good news is, you don't need a really expensive/fancy mech (and I'm too cheap to buy them anyway) -- a Kamry K100/K101 works great and can be had pretty inexpensively, and has the added benefit of allowing you play with lower ohm setups. My sweet spot is 0.7 - 0.8 ohm coils (28ga Kanthal, about 3 wraps).
This...
I got a K100 from DiscountVapers... I think it was 37 and came with a Kamry safety fuse. Nice little mech.
Yes they work really well, especially for the price!
I use that and a Smoktech Magneto, which has gotten mixed reviews but works well for me.
Thanks gents... Yes, I ordered a Private V2 clone from Fasttech this morning... Should have it in a month
Getting great flavor, descent vapor but a little "harsh" throat hit that makes me cough... I drilled the air to 1.4 mm, smaller than 1/16th think if I drill it more, to say 1/16th it will ease the throat hit?

Probably. My RSST, stock, had a small hole and a wicked TH. Drilled it out to 1/16th and both flavor and TH improved dramatically, along with improved vapor production.
You know I got a couple of the RSST's and drilled one air hole to 5/64 and left the other stock and both have a boatload of thick flavorful vapor. The coil build and the wicking have a great deal to do with it along with your juice pg/vg ratios. But just like a engine carburetor the more fuel (juice) + air + combustion (heat) = more vapor. We all are chasing the dragon!
