Hello to all! New to the forum and to rebuildables! I recieved my first rebuidables last week and am absolutely blown away at the performance of these things. I have 2 RSST's to learn on. Sort of impressed myself by having my first 2 setups come out pretty nice I thought! I am using 500 ss mesh and 30 A1 kanthal. My first RSST that I had made using a paper clip and rolling 45mm. I wrapped a 3/4 coil and it came out 1.2 ohms. This one has quite a bit of room inside the wick hole but has been working great for me with 50/50 juice still to this day. It took about a tank til I got that OMG taste that I had been searching for! I had lightly oxidized the mesh before rolling and pulsed until evenly lit coils appeared! Now the problem that I have is on my second RSST. I had done everything the same as the first except tight rolled 95 mm with the slightest of holes through it(can barely see it). Did a 2/3 wrap and came out to 0.9 ohms. Now this was working flawlessly up until yesterday with 100% VG(Boba's Bounty) which is my all day vape. Then I had a little mishap and had it on its side for about 5 mins and had a leak in the car. Pulled over opened up the top cap and there was quite a bit of juice on the top deck and throughout the stem. I lightly patted down the top deck and cleaned out top cap and proceeded to drive home! I had noticed a burnt taste that was worse then when it was b4 the break in period of the wick and coil. I got home and the juice seems to be a VERY dark brown to black color. If anyone has any suggestions as to setting up incorrectly or it happening because of the spill, I would greatly appriciate all feedback or how-to's! I want to make the best set-up I possibly can for my all day 100% VG! Also, I had been vaping a little more often then normal for the hour before this had all happened if that could possibly have an effect on this issue! Sorry about the length of this post and thank you in advance to any that can help me with this issue!!!!

so after it tipped you then vaped it for a time, then noticed a burnt flavor, then after you got home you noticed the juice was dark? if this is correct i would say that when you cleaned the mess from the atty you did something to the coils. maybe you loosened up a wrap, or twisted the wick onto a frey, this created a short. now when you are vaping a short, this can burn the juice, which leaches back into the tank making the juice darker. i would extract the juice, dry burn coils, and prod until the hot spot is gone.
