Is anyone currently vaping on a silica wick build on a atty?

[Timbo]

I am interested in getting a genesis atty due to the style and width. I have my eyes on the Smoktech RSST. I was looking for something short with a good width on it to go on a 22mm width mod.

I do not want to go down the mesh route, to much hassle and does not seem as cheap as silica/cotton.

I have been reading up on silica/cotton builds on attys today to get an idea on how it all works. It looks like it can work but might have dry hit issues.

So I thought I would see if anyone here is successfully using an atty with silica/cotton and would actually recommend it?

And maybe even some tips/pictures of your set up.

The big issue I can see is juice leaking out the holes if tipped so this could be just a home vape.

Naive question: is a Kayfun-style atty not better than a Genesis if you're sure you want to stick with wick?

I really didn't get along with Genesis-style RBA (in fact I'd be happy to pass on an Aga-T2 if someone wants a go)

i did 3mm ekowool in the RSST and as you say it's an at home set up tbh yes you get dry hits if your a chain vaper but for me tooting on it at home it was bob on, i would recommend giving it a go

If you are asking...."is anyone using silica on an atomizer (genesis) usually set up with mesh?", then I can't help.

I have enough trouble with atomizers that were conceived for use with Silica.

It can be done, but I have turned down an RSST a good few times on my shopping basket.... I fear it's a big-time pain in the posterior.

Ok so maybe something like the Kayfun would be a better idea. I will have to look for a decent clone.

Yes lol, that is what I was asking! I was up for giving it a go but thought it was actually a really silly idea.

I can vouch for this one:

www.smokecloud.co.uk/tanks/silica-tank

It combines the best of the Kayfun 3.1 and the KFL.

It is a bottom filler with adjustable air control.

(I think it may actually be a Russian 91%)

Thanks everyone, some great finds there! Think I'm going to have to wait until my bank is a bit more healthy! Got far to many orders in the post from fast tech!

Is it going ok with this sej as it is a top price for a clone/lookalike?

Well, I'm very pleased with mine so far and it is comparable IMHO to my 3.1 ES and KFL, both of which cost quite a bit more.
