pics of stmini rba v1 dremelled out weep holes w/rayon wicking

stmini v1 dremelled out weep/wick holes with airflow ring removed
i could never go above 25 watts w/cotton.
w/rayon 30w was the norm.
now that i think i perfected my rayon wicking i can do 40 to 50w.
at first it was hitting me hard and turned it down to 35w, but now im getting used to above 40w w/my wicking and damn its good

0.7 ohm 26g ka1

after cutting a piece of rayon spread it out

split the flattened out rayon depending on your coil diameter.
for me i cut it in half, use which ever half suits you for the coil

gently roll rayon in clean hands like rolling a joint.
put through coil in twisting motion.

split rayon according to your needs, test for as you need.
for me 10-20% as in pic.
and cut the top half off as close to the coil possible

as you can see whats left of tails is thin ~10%

cut tail lenghts.
for stmini not too short or might be prone to flood/leaks w/the bigger holes
thin tails as needed

wet the wick

thin tails as needed after initial vaping.
surpisingly doesnt leak unless tails are cut too short for deck.

I've been thinking about doing something like this myself. Nice job.

if u need a more robust stmini then all thats needed is steady hands and a dremell

Thanks for posting the link in that other thread. I kind of wondered if all that cotton for the tail was doing anything but soaking up juice. I guess not.
