Red RSST center pin

[Crush171]

I'm an experienced vaper but I haven't seen this and hoping someone else has....What do think is going on with this RSST? I'm using a liquid that is virtually clear. The condensation in the cap builds up on the top plate and is leaching down in the center pin but I have no idea why it's red.

Someone suggested that it might be rust and I may be using a galvanized mesh over the SS Braid. I bought 400SS mesh...well thats what I ordered. How can you tell if it's SS or not?

I don't have an answer, but I'll give your post a bump.

I do appreciate the bump but that is probably a mute question. I probably should be more concerned with the silicone seal letting liquid leach on to the center pin. (lol). It's just a really bright red color on the center pin and I use a clear liquid. I'm just curious about it, more than anything.

The liquid in your tank looks like it's the same color.

Are you laying your RSST over on its side?

Looking at the pictures, it looks like there is the same red color on the outside of your center insulator, which likely means the juice is leaking down there and in turn causing your red post issue. I've heard that the insulator for one of the AGA series (I think it's the AGA-T) insulator is actually a much better fit for the top of the RSST than the original (surprisingly). Kidney Puncher has them for like $2 for a 10 pack. If it's the insulator causing the juice leaking into the post, might be worth checking out.
