Official Squape R[eloaded] thread!

Wick tucked in.

May not look like it now, but when dry that tail was fanned out horizontal and trimmed at an angle.
Starting about 1-2mm out from the base threads on the side nearest the screw post, angled out to well over 5mm at the other end.
The idea is having just enough cotton to rest on the bottom of the cup (and cover those juice holes) without needing any major twisting of the wick.

Nano bell cap w/nano Squape tip.

Awesome, thanks for that

2 strands of 32g nickel did the trick. Thanks.

Exactly where did you stick it? Photos? [emoji102]

Vakaion, did you use a drill to twist?

I can't take photos of that right now, I'd have to destroy my build and remove the deck, and probably still wouldn't see anything in the photo. lol
What I did is remove the deck, undid the center pin a bit, held two strands of 32g in the hole from the top (the end of each wire was basically pressed up against where the center pins thread and the holes thread "meet"), then screwed in the center pin.
Took a couple of attempts to "catch" the wire in the thread, but when it does it gets much tougher to screw it in.
Just ensure the pin doesn't end up crooked at the bottom and it's set.

2x 30g ni200 twisted via drill, then wrapped with a 3mm coil winder.
I ended up having to re-coil after those pics. lol

I had all sorts of issues when I installed my B deck. I ended up taking it out and putting away. Resistance and TP where the main culprits. I didn't really give it a chance because I was so used to the W deck just working that I threw up my hands and stuck it away.

I'm going to try your trick and stick some nickel wire etc and see how it does. It's nice to know it really works.

NICE tail! LOL

I found this interesting. This is my last KGD build which is the best. The original wicking followed by two pics of the KGD after a total of 3 tanks. Kanthal wrap. During this last tank I've gotten two more intermittent leaks than before out of the largest air hole. Makes we wonder if you can mitigate the occasional small air hole dribble by rewicking after every couple of tanks???? The juice is my own creation @ 50/50 with a profane name /lol and tends to move toward the gunky side of the equation. NOTE when uploading images to ECF: You can multi select via CTRL and the order you select is the order they appear or you can change the order as you click either Thumb or Full image. NICE

Is it just me? Or is the airflow quite noticeably more open with the B deck?

 

[Rikk]

The short time that I used the B deck I didn't notice an increase of airflow. But maybe others have, like you.

Is Tapatalk throwing fits again. Mine is and I'm back on Chrome for the time being.

And that last message was supposed to be a quote, and that sure did t work. Urg!

Yea, I think these bell caps are going to look much better polished up. Or I guess some prefer them frosted. I think I'm going to polish mine up this next week when I have some extra time and throw it back on again for a try. It doesn't look hard, just time consuming. I just watched a video and I guess cleaning it up after polishing is the toughest part. Getting all the polishing compound out of all the little grooves. And that's with putting tape over the threads.

Anybody here polish there's yet? Any tips....

 

[Rikk]

Ok, you have to describe looper for us (me) now.... Right now... Sooner than later.

I read a reply from you in another thread earlier and I didn't get exactly what you meant by being tied up in a co-op. I finally went and took a look at putting my 2.5Ti in the classifieds today and stumbled across the co-op area. I still can't say I get it, but at least now I got it. What you meant that is. At least I think that's what you meant. But anyway, Looks like an area that might be interesting to investigate further.

So why is Tapatalk counting down whenever I make a post now? Do I have to wait for it to finish before I can make another post or something? I don't ever remember seeing that before. I'm assuming I'm not the only one..... Or am I?

Yeah, there is a timer before you can repost. It didn't used to be there that's why we didn't see it in Tapatalk before. In other forums that have a timer I've seen it, but the timer is usually 10-15 seconds, 30 ow pretty extreme if you ask me.

Having a timer in conversations is also pretty ridiculous. Don't make it look like a chat room or text messaging if I can't use it as such, lol

Well my Nexus 6 is about to die so I guess that means it's off to bed. [emoji99]
