I've been vaping for 2 years and only just dipping my toe into genny style atties now. No need to rush into it. Find what you like and stick with it. You appreciate upgrades more that way. I'm going to be using my RSST as my "at home" atty until I really get the whole wicking and coiling thing nailed. My wick and wire should arrive tomorrow, so for now I've just been fiddling with my clean RSST. I think I'll want to drill the airhole out, but I lack the means to do so :/

If you pick some up and they work for you, I'd be happy to go splits if I can use them on mine as well.
I took my vamo etc to Rome with me the other week. Batteries must come in hand luggage (brought my spare novas too), and I took my juice in plastic bags in carry-on as well. Just plonked my vamo on top of my jacket in the tray so it was clear I wasn't hiding anything, and I never even got questioned. Put my spare wire and wick in hold luggage.
I still use my novas on my vamo, and have been getting on fine with it, but a bloke at work has given me some 200 mesh and a steel wire cable (apparently it wicks like a beast) so I'm going to give that a go until royal mail pull the finger out and deliver the mesh I ordered on Thursday for my RSST.
Thanks I'll do that. I've got a working coil now, although one coil is not as hot as the others. Either way, the thicker kanthal is definitely more robust to pulse with. Makes it much more forgiving.
Some atties can be used with silica, but I believe it has to be a U wick. Having it just flop out of the wick hole must not work as well. I considered trying it myself, but I'm soldiering on with the mesh for now.
I'm using it now. I'm still a noob when it comes to ss wicks so I haven't quite nailed it yet. Seems to wick slightly better than a full mesh wick, but it's also quite a heatsink so the coil heats up slower. I'm still undecided on it. Then again I have yet to get a good coil with no shorts going yet!
Hamster is spot onbasically find your personal sweet spot for your gear and juice and away you go
And to who posted about the SS Wire Rope, i have been using this for about a week and a half now in my AC9 (KnightStalker over UKV too) Fantastic is all i can say, its a bit hit and miss sometimes but overall its miles better than mesh alone in getting juice to the coils - I have over 6 different types currently in testing, from 1.5mm to 3mm stuff, just waiting on new cutters to continue as mine have been chewed to hell cutting the 3mm stuff. One thing i will say, be very careful with the heat of the atomiser on initial setup, i have had my AC9 reading above 160F according to my infra red temp gun, thats seriously hot, never seen it hit that when set up and juice is cooling it. Coil at full whack was reading way above 250f, temp gun refused to read it lol 0.9ohm 4 wrap of .5 ribbon - 2mm 7x7, 325mesh.
Mine gets super hot too. I oxidise the mesh because pulsing it from the start would melt the orings on my rsst! Do you wrap your mesh the whole length of the wick or just at the top where the coil is? I've been doing just the top, but my juice is getting burnt so not sure if my fill plug needs to come out or if something else is amiss
Still my fav combo. Until I master the ss wick anyway. So frustrating!
Whoever mentioned the hangsen ry4 earlier, it really benefits from steeping and gets quite sweet after about a week.
Crank up the juice guys! I vape at 10W on my nova (roughly equivalent to 4-4.2V I think). 6W would leave me dissatisfied in the extreme.
For fruity stuff, I tend to drop it to 9-9.5W though. You'll taste the difference if the juice doesn't like the extra watts.
I do yeah. I could mix up some 8mg ry4 or something else if you'd like?
Don't worry about it. Just trust me your address and I'll pop a 10ml sample in the post.
It was RY4 or chocolate, so should have been fine (fine in my novas). My Vamo button is starting to play up, so where's this chinese site where I can pick a spare up on the cheap?
