Hey guys, I'm new to the whole rba scene, I have been vaping for a bit though. Finally decided to take the next step and get an rba, and from what I read smoktech's rsst was a decent RBA for a beginner.
So I was extremely excited when my rsst came in yesterday, came home and built it immediately. Only to be extremely disappointed in the taste. It has a terribly burnt taste. So I did some more reading, fixed my hot spots and still had that burnt taste. So I read some more and saw a guy who likes to take a few thin strands of cheese cloth run them through the center of the wick, wrap the top (where the coil will be) and then run it back down. He said that can help avoid hotspots as well as help with wicking. I tried that and it has helped a little bit, but I'm still having a bad burnt/metallic taste.
I'm using unoxidized 500 ss mesh with 30 gauge wire. Checked my resistance on my svd and it's coming up at 1.2 right now. Any info is helpful. Thank in advance
