DANG!!! When are we having a meet so you can show me? I bought a Hybrid Elite and got rid of it cuz the setup was so bad. Still have my two RSSTs. Do you completely torch the wick first? Using 28g wire?

Prep mesh (if you has no torch, you can use lighter or oven range just takes a little bit more time):
1. roll it up with a flattened paper clip tight till it slides into the drip hole
2. 3 torch passes till lit up then dump in water repeat
3. 3 burn runs of PG, re-tighten up mesh
4. wrap the wire, I do gaped at the bottom tight at the top
5. prime the coil quick bumps with a 50% charged battery
6. if a hot spot starts to show kink the positive post wire then start dragging the top coils down
7. You're done when all coils are lit

Thanks LifePlaza! I will give your method a try this today. On my 1st and only RSST build I tried following 'taste your juice' guy's video where he torches the mesh just enough to get rid of the oils but then uses the pulse method to oxidize the areas around the wick only.
FYI, those in SF you have a new vape store! SF Vapor 4994 Mission St., 94112. That's a few blocks away from Geneva. Also is a restaurant starting at 5pm - Kuta Bistro! Vape friendly w/ Filipino food. Haven't tried the food yet but the owner Mark has mini-meets Wednesdays @ 7pm. Soft opening right now for the vape store but it has been a restaurant for a year already.

Just got a krypto glass tank from coolvape on capitol avenue. So far so good! Using their mtn dew flavor as well in it. It runs at 2.2 ohms with their low resistance 510 atomizers that I asked for

I wanted to Friday but my dad came home from work with a problem with his 2001 Silverado.. Theres a glown plug or glow plug controller module issue that we've been trying to figure out so I've been stuck researching and doing what I can with that at home. I'll make the effort to call you around 6 once of the days this week where I don't have to work on that stinkin truck. I got your call on Friday but was tied up with that.

I am just so confused with where to start. What's a noob friendly setup. Do you have a physical store?

I am curious about this as well, I quit smoking just about a year ago. However, I sometimes still get the craving to light up when heavily drinking around a lot of other smokers and my wife harasses the **** out of me anytime I light up a cigar. If I can get good tasting flavors this might be something to look into.

ego battery setup with a iclear30 tank is what I'd recommend. Get a couple extra wicks for the iclear30 as well so you can swap it out once it starts to taste burnt. As far as flavors, there are flavors galore! Anything you can think of that is edible or drinkable they have and of course tons of tobacco flavors.
Will check it out and get back to you.

I bought a Chi You clone from fasttech $27.00
$27.00 Chi-you Style Mod / E-Cigarette Battery Compartment - stainless steel / with telescopic pin at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Looks great needed some work to get it working right. Right off the bat the 510 connection pin to the atty needs adjustment. I'd recommend going with the RSST since you can adjust the pin. The bottom trigger has a lot of play due to the spring loaded button. People have complained that the battery is loose inside. You have to dick around with it to adjusting the bottom trigger and the 510 pin to get a solid connection. Other than that it works great.
Not bad for being a clone or copy. 30 bucks versus 300 bucks
