    SmokTech The Natural - New mechanical device

    James, 5+ hours! That's a mess! You REALLY should try Petar K and the non-oxidized SS wick...you'd be up and running in 15 minutes. If you have 28g kanthal, wrap it really tightly around a 3/32 drill bit about 9 times. Pack the coils tight at first then stretch them just a bit. Put the bit in...

    Stainless Steel mesh, Oxide discussion.

    I'm using both the Provari and the 28 gauge kanthal and I haven't seen a single error code yet...using a 8/9 coil Peter K style. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

    Has anyone tried the AGA Tiamat PLUS w/Glass Tank

    The AGA-T2 is awesome....try smoktek.com, their AGA-T2 came as a 2-pack for $30! The center post doesn't leave much room for all 3 nuts and a wire twist, but there is just enough. Usining the Peter K, I wrap the wire all the way around the center post before tightening the top but, the coil...

    Stainless Steel mesh, Oxide discussion.

    Dsy5, I'm an I.T. geek, not a scientist, but my read of all of the chatter here was that the torching of the SS could be what potentially releases the bad Cr hexa-whatever (the bad stuff from that Julia Roberts film i think) from the SS.... Anyone who's been following, am I good on this point...

    Stainless Steel mesh, Oxide discussion.

    I don't have the link but if you use SS, the concept is simple...genious, but simple. 1. Wrap a coil really tightly around around a 3/32 drill bit 28g kanthal works great 2. Insert the bit into your RBA wick hole 3. Attach the leads +/- 4. Roll the SS wick - I lightly lighter flamed, no...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    JPoodles, check out non-oxidized SS mesh with a prewound coil using a 3/32 bit (Peter K method? Dubbed that anyway if I'm wrong). Then use a tiny wisp 1/2 x 1/2 inch and twist on the bare SS mesh wick. Takes 20 mins or so to break in the cotton (take away cotton flavor) and it takes about 2...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    192 pages of ceramic wicking goodness and I too am interested. Subscribed. The whole thread on hexavalent chromium in oxidized SS mesh has me creeped out and looking hard at alternatives. Thanks to all of you for the good work here. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

    Stainless Steel mesh, Oxide discussion.

    Yes, I find tearing off a very thin 1/2" x 1/2" wisp of cotton and the twisting it to be sufficient and actually has been delivering a much heavier vape. The cottony taste only lasted about 30 minutes this morning and is now not a factor. I can imagine that i'm going to have to change the...

    Stainless Steel mesh, Oxide discussion.

    You put a coat, a layer, of oxidation & carbon on the wick to insulate it, electrically, from the coils. Moreover, you need contact between the coils and the wick to effectively vape your juice. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

    Stainless Steel mesh, Oxide discussion.

    Wow...I had just got two more AGA-Ts in the mail and started reading this thread while vaping away on my charred SS wick with 32 g nichrome coils....that's all gone now. I have subscribed and will be back...I've switched over to 28g kanthal that I hadn't been using with the Peter K method. It...

    Need help getting into Rebuildable world

    I'm loving the AGA-T2 with the O-rings.... I have NO leaking, inverted it for about 20 mins on my desk to test.... I have NO wicking issues and I leave the fill screw in, just a few twists...I don't thread it all the way down every time. I bought 1 a few weeks back from GV for $30 and the...

    Provari or Vamo?

    Having the Vamo and Provari (Vamo is just my backup should I need service on my Provari) I think the OPs real question was to create a heavier, more durable coil for his SS mesh wick, keeping the ohms low. Here's what I do. I use a twisted 32g NiChrome coil, wrap it tight around a 3/8 drill...

    Best Looking Tank for ProVari - Post picture Please!! :)

    Here's mine with the AGA-T v2. I really would hope that Provape would cut a SS cap to flatten out the Provari to for bigger tanks....I got $20 for a piece of steel. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

    Has anyone tried the AGA Tiamat PLUS w/Glass Tank

    I'm using a Berkshire AGA-T (very similar - 100% stainless steel) and I'm using twisted 32g nichrome with 6 wraps since I couldn't get an effective wrap with 28g kanthal. This gives me a lot of coverage at 1.4 ohms that I can run at 3.8 without blowing it out on long draws. Took the pic on my...

    Vroooommmmm! It's HERE NOW! The GotVapes Birkshire CRT CLEAR Rebuildable Atomizer Tank 3ml with Stainless Steel Construction - ITS A BEAUT!

    Wow, just wow! Very superior hardware! Thank you GV! Its pretty for sure, definitely heavy...shiny, ohhhh so shiny. I love that they ditched the gnurling hashes on it. I also went straight for the glass tanks, they are visibly more clear than the stock plastic. It's also worth mentioning...

    Vroooommmmm! It's HERE NOW! The GotVapes Birkshire CRT CLEAR Rebuildable Atomizer Tank 3ml with Stainless Steel Construction - ITS A BEAUT!

    This has gone quiet, but I just ordered the new AGA-T model and I'm very excited. I have some 400 as on the way as well, getting nervous about my frenemies in the FDA with their legislative influence. I liked the looks before the new version and love them now. GV is my favorite vendor for the...

    VapeDudes - unfulfilled order, unkept promises

    As of about 4 hours after the original post here, Jennifer at Vape Dudes did reply with a very nice apology and a tracking number for the rest of my order. I hope that this will complete what has been a frustrating shopping experience. I also sincerely hope that I have been the exception, not...

    VapeDudes - unfulfilled order, unkept promises

    All, In my recent, 1st and only order, from VapeDudes I have certainly had an experience that will bring cause for me to 1) never order from them again, 2) never recommend anyone order from them, 3) have to call my credit card company to get a refund, 4) take more actions such as posting...

    Here NOW! The GotVapes SplitFire 3ml 2 Chamber Tank System - 4 Wick Leads - Replaceable Coil Heads & Tubes - VARIOUS COLORS!

    I just pulled my cotton yarn head out and popped in my last factory 2.8 head. I must say, nothing lasts like the silica wicks. I like the idea of cotton if I have the time to rewick ever 2 or 3 days but with Sandy's recent visit (I'm in NJ) I just haven't had the time. I did just order 15 more...
