Just got my new RM2. Do i need to clean it before I use it? And if so, what's the best way to clean it? Thanks!

I clean everything before I use it. I wash in hot soapy water, rinse well, dunk in some PGA or strong cheap vodka, let dry.
Wouldn't hurt to give it a cleaning.
Several ways to accomplish that, including...
* immersing it in boiling water for 5 mins or so - drop or two of Dawn liquid detergent helps. Rinse well after washing.
* using denture cleaner (just as if it were a set of false teeth).
* alcohol bath - vodka or pure grain alcohol will work. Rinse well after cleaning.
* use of an ultrasonic cleaner. Bit of a cost to get one, and prolly not worth it if your cleaning needs are small, but works the best, arguably. It can also be used to steep DIY juice (turns 2 weeks of steeping in to 2 hours).
* as the RM2 has a ceramic base, I've found a bath of baking soda works well to clean it, specifically (the denture cleaner does a good job, too).

I don't clean them, but Deb's way is great too. After cleaning (if you choose to), just blow out the excess water from the bottom threaded connector and wipe it all dry. Coil up and go! Hope you dig it. I'm 99% certain you will.
You are probably using it by now, but just for future reference;
Every rba I buy gets the same treatment - disassemble, 5 to 7 minutes in 91% Isopropyl Alcohol, followed by 5 to 7 minutes in boiling water. They always come out clean.

Ok. So i built my RM2 (1.2 ohms) and I'm getting good vapor, but flavor is lacking. Any hints?
Make sure your coil is right in front of the air hole and sitting as close to the edge as you can get it without touching the cap. What wick are you using? I get my best flavor with rayon (Cellucotton) followed by RxW then cotton.
