Some soaps have chemicals added like perfumes which the tank will absorb,be careful.

Some RSST`s have threading issues,you may have too retap the threads with a 7mm x .5 die,i had the same problem,i just worked the tank into my Mod,it wasnt easy,but it worked ok with stripping any threading
My RSST came with extra parts,think ill use the extra washer and spring on the AGA,the tank on the RSST wont last forever.
FYI the washer that comes with the RSST is steel, probably zinc plated. It may rust eventually & some have reported that. I replaced them with 316 washers on mine.
Might as well add in this thread too....
I shortened the insulator 25 thou & installed a 2.5 x 1 mm oring under. No more leaking.

Excellent info on the oring and washer,thanks.
I'm about to give up. I can't get that much vapor. The flavor isn't really there. It's a little harsh especially blowing out my nose. I've dont like 5 different wicks and coils. No hotspots all glowing evenly. No spaces. I've tried thicker wicks. Skinnier wicks. Either it doesn't wick after a few puffs or it wicks too much and is super harsh. This is so hard. Btw I always wrap to 1.0 ohms. Please any suggestions?
I had the same problem but I was determined to get it better. My biggest issue was heatsinking from the mesh & wicking sucked, was better when I dropped down to 300. I gave up on the SS mesh & went with a straight Ekowool wick. Now I have a thin SS wick inside Ekowool, no heatsinking issue, & it vapes fine now consistently. I'm done messing with gennies, maybe others are better but I have fullfilled my curiosity. Back to my normal program.
It maybe your juice,what you using and did you try different brands?,do you have the air hole drilled bigger?It also takes time too break in a new set up.

Anyone else have a leaking issue where, after using your RSST for a bit, then setting it down vertically, all the condensation from the top cap leaks out the air hole and down to your device?
I usually vape it for a while, then leave it upright on my mod, only to come back and find drops of juice all over the place.....

Are you sure it's leaking out of the air hole in the top cap? You could have juice running down your centre post and gathering in the bottom cap. Have you taken apart the RSST to confirm? Seems excessive to have so much coming down through the air hole.
Definitely from the air hole, maybe i exaggerated the amount, but its quite a few drops leaking out. Theres always some left right under the air hole so thats what tells me its from there and not the bottom. As far as the center shaft goes, I replaced the grommet there with one from an old Kanger T3 head, fits snug, and closes any gaps when i press the center pin into it.
I haven't taken any pics but I use Ekowool in mine. I first used 3mm, worked better than full SS for me as far as wicking. Tricky to coil it while in the RSST but you can also wrap the coil first before installing. Torching the Ekowool will make it stiffer & a bit easier to work with. Right now I'm using a thin solid SS 300 wick covered with 2mm Ekowool, again working better than my previous setups on it. I'll probably rebuild soon & will take some pics then.
When you say you're using SS mesh covered with Ekowool....how exactly? Do you have the Ekowool wrapped around with mesh wick? Or have you made a sleeve for the ss wick using Ekowool? I've done some google image searching and from all the photos I'm getting, I just can't tell.
