Seemingly low vapor production from rsst/smoktech magneto

[reej]

I picked up an RSST and a Smoktech Magneto yesterday. Built my first wick and coil (semi solid 400 SS mesh and 28 gas kanthal in a 3/4 wrap @ 0.9 Ohms) flavor is great but not getting the clouds of vapor that everyone says a mech with a sub ohm build gets. I tested the voltage drop of the device and found it has a .4 volt drop under load. I don't seem to be getting dry hits, the wick seems to be doing great, it never gets red if there is juice on the tank (at least 10 second fires) and flavor is spot on, better than my evods and my carto's by far. According to my math on a fresh batt I should be pushing around 16 watts, but I get more vapor from my vamo with a 2.0 ohm evod coil @ 10 watts or a low res Boge xl carto @ 10 watts although the flavor is not as good. Any ideas/advice?

Is the air hole lined up with the coil?

Yes it is.

I would first make sure your not getting any hot spots, specially if your new to building coils, I would also make sure that the coil is making proper contact with the wick (my guess), you might be baking it rather than vaporizing it and that would likely taste spot on but produce no clouds.

I should mention that if I fire it with the cap off, i get quite a bit of vapor production, but it takes a few seconds to really get going. The coils are in good contact with the wick but the wick will move inside of them with a bit of pressure. The coil has a nice even glow when dry, and no burnt spots. Is it a lack of airflow? I've read that many RSST users drill out the air hole on the top cap to 1.6 mm from the factory 1.2 mm.

Also should mention the vape seems very cool, no warmth to it at all.

I would drill out the air hole to 1/16". Just be wary that this will change the feel of your drag. It may also mute the flavor and TH a little bit. Some like it, some don't. I say, slowly make the hole larger and larger till it hits your sweet spot.

On the coil firing slow... What kind of battery are you using? I have the same set up (magneto and rsst) Mine works great, and is VERY responsive.

I drilled the air hole to 1.6mm, fixed the vapor production. Still takes a second to really start getting hot. I'm using 2000mah efest imr's.

Are you pulse priming your coils?? That helps a lot to ensure your using all of the coil- Check this video for reference to pulse priming-

That was a good choice, also you should check that your center post or your wick is not touching the inner top part of your cap or bottom part of your drip tip

Im running the rsst on a nemesis clone. Wrapped a .09 ohm coil on steel mesh using an imr aw 2000 mah batt and it takes a second of burning for the coil to get hot too.....im getting good vapor output but flavor is a little muted

I did everything in the busardo video too

what wire are you using? im pretty sure you meant 0.9 ohm right?
are you torching your wire?
is your mesh oxidized?
what mesh using?

also for flavor, you need to give some time to your wick and mesh.

what i do is just after glowing my coil in dry (just to check for hotspots) i drop a few drops of juice on top of the mesh, and i glow the coil again (do it 3 or 4 times), then perm your wick and fill 1/4 of the tank and vape
