You should be closer to 2ohm if you are using 32 gauge wire on a wick that fits snug into the RSST.
My advice would be to strip down the RSST. There has to be a bad connection there somewhere. I would strip it down, give it a good cleaning and rebuild the device making sure all has tightened up well. I would then build another set up and check the resistance (1.5 to 2.0 ohms is what I usually shoot for on the RSST). Anytime there is a muted flavor, then there usually is a short occurring!

Well for me the hole I drilled is way too big.
It's like sucking up a straw
It's a shame as it's a nice looking tank, but going to give up with it now, put it in my spares draw.
Just bought an Agga-T-2 today, not as easy to wire up but woks like a dream on my mech mod, lots of vapour and flavour, loks good, nice and big too.
rsst thumbs down
agga-t-2 a huge thumbs up.....

You might of needed to screw the post down a little more. The connection was not solid. Its happened to me once or twice.

Wattage change flavor, mostly taste. This is my individual opinion. I usually set the coil up at around 1.7ohms, but after a day or two, it becomes 2.x ohms. Wattage at between 7w to 8w, no taste and little smell, which I like. If I jack it up to 9/10 w, there will be a lot of taste. Once in a while, I do this for fun.
Rebuildables, no mater the make, take some fiddling to get them to work the way you like. I've taken REALLY crappy china RBA's & was able to make them vape awesome. (they still ended up in the trash... total junk)
I never fault a RBA/RDA for vapor production, as this is all in how you build/fiddle with them. Materials & craftsmanship on the other hand....
It took me about 1/2 a tank to get my RSST working right. And I did drill the air hole to 2mm, which made a big difference.

rsst is actually a rebuilt xmas ornament. that's why u have problems in the summer, lol
Don't blame the RSST if you aren't getting the vapor production you expect. I own three of them & they will almost choke me to death on either a VV/VW device, or any of my mechanicals.
From the sound of things, you have a poor connection on the positive pin at the bottom of the atty. They are tapered on the RSST, and if you don't adjust them properly, only the center of the pin is touching (barely). ...it will vape, but won't have any "Oomph" - you are getting voltage through the connector, but very little amperage - which is what heats the coils.
Two quick things to try; Readjust the positive pin so it protrudes below the 510 connector about 1mm (just screw it down a few turns)
and add a small Stainless steel washer or two under the positive post & the spring to help with coil tension. I would also recommend running without the filler hole plug - not really needed, and helps prevent a vacuum build up in the tank which makes a huge difference in wicking. Don't worry - it won't leak, even if you keep it lying down.
Good luck.

All is not lost with the rsst
Today I got a Beautiful DrawTube mech mod, put the rsst on it, screwed down the center pin so it had good contact and yes, huge clouds of vapour.
The DrawTube is one powerful mech mod, must have really good contacts on it...

Only slightly. I opened up the air-holes on mine to 1.2 mm using a small rat-tail file, and I find that perfect for my vaping style....
I currently use 4-5 wraps of Ribbon Kanthal wire (.5 X 1mm) on a 1/8 ceramic wick which generally gives me around 1.5 Ω. I've used them previously with a solid-rolled stainless steel wick with similar results.
Sounds like you might have figured it out already though....
Have fun
