After messing about with the Smoktech RSST for about three days I FINALLY got it right! With a lot of help from watching Pbusardos videos in particular and going through many of the posts here in the forums I got the 400 SS mesh wick just right and the 28GA kanthol 3/4 wrap just right without any hot spots on the Smoktech Natural and this setup is AMAZING! So to any rba n00bs like me out there, don't give up! For the love of vaping don't give up, if you are frustrated just set it down and go back to what is working for you be it atomizers or cartomizers or clearos for a few days (or hours in my case) until you get the drive to make it work. It is everything that people rave about, rba's...this is the beginning of a wonderful relationship.

Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers
Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

Good to hear that you got it and are enjoying the vape monkey. I use a AGA T2 on a mechanical mod and love it too. I think I'm going to be lowering the coil resistance soon. In any case, I agree it's about the best vape I've ever had 
This is my first experience with any type of RBA but I have to imagine that any experience will help when dealing with rebuilding anything. Good luck friend!
I love success stories! Great job btw...
If you can rewrap a vivi nova or any one of those you'll do just fine with a rba or rda

RDA means rebuildable dripping atomizer. It is used to specify the primary purpose of a rebuildable atomizer, or RBA.
good job! it gets easier the more you do it another good one to start off with is the igo-l
LMAO I think the same too
BTW Kanj picked up GG clone and loving it thanks for advice !
LMAO I think the same too
You got it. Glad you enjoy. How does it look with your Protank? Sexy as all hell?
Im on the learning curve aswell, picked up an RSST and dived straight in, got it wrong twice now but its getting better everytime, also helps that mesh and wire is cheap so it does not really hurt if i get it wrong.
Just spent 5 hours building a wick and coil for a new aga t2. first time trying and finally got a working setup. definitely not the best, but vapor comes out, so I will take it. will try again tomorrow, and hopefully it gets easier!!
Good job op!
Good job op!
Congrats! I just put together my first RBA, a DID clone, today and I agree. Frustrating as hell, but worth it when you get it right.
Took me a few times as well. Two burnt coils and a couple hours later I had a ok vape. Takes me about 10 minutes from start to vape, sometimes they fight me and they give me trouble.

Looked amazing till I dropped my protank ! Oh well have RSST on the way
Don't forget you can get shorts on the wick too, if you're using SS mesh. Didn't realize that until I noticed a vertical glow on the wick itself from one coil stretching to another. You'll see the cross behind the coil when it happens, just nudge it up or down a bit.
Just built a 1.3 ohm coil on my AGA-T2 after my last coil developed a hotspot near the top that sagged the wire a bit, which seemingly destroyed it. I've been trying to push as many volts on my Provari as possible to get those giant vapor clouds, used an ohms calculator to try and get just under the amp and watt limit. Decided I get a better vape at lower volts, got it set at 3.7 right now, ironically. It's currently got a silica/SS mesh hybrid wick in it, wicks like a champ, better than SS mesh alone IMO.
Just don't give up, and tackle it when you've got some spare time.
I've also got a 1.6 ohm coil on a hybrid wick in an IGO-L, amazing little dripper. I just didn't like burning silica wicks and SS mesh doesn't always keep up.
Grats on the success!
