First off, thanks to VamoMan for taking the trouble to source me an RSST Cape Town side at such a good price and for his troubles getting it to me. I hear he's done the same for a few of us.
I must say, my first efforts at setting this thing up are a bit dissapointing..
Comparing it to my Aga T2, it definitely comes off second best in the vapour production department. In fact, even comparing to a few much cheaper rba's it still doesn't cut it.
The air hole is MUCH too small on this thing stock. I drilled out to 1.2mm and it's definitely better, reckon it could go a bit bigger, but my next drill size is 1.5 and that may be too big.
I set it up with 4 wraps 30g 1.6ohms (same as my agat2). No hotspots, even glow - it's just not putting out the same amount of vapour. It seems like it's not drawing enough current for some reason. Even if I put it on a mech with a fully charged IMR, it still seems underpowered. I run the AgaT2 at 7.5w on a Vamo and it blows clouds.
Another thing to watch out for, especially if you're a Vamo owner. The positive pin is quite sharp at the contact end. Be careful not to have it protruding too much from the bottom. You'll ruin your Vamo connector quickly. I don't over tighten my stuff, but I can see my positive Vamo pin is already taking a hit. It seems a bit wobbly on the top, so it's all too easy to over tighten. If you've got a beauty ring from a Protank, stick that over the Ego threading. Works like a charm. Takes out the gap and makes the set up rock solid.
I'll persevere and report back.
