    Thank you very much for the kind words. I have a feeling thats why I just got a monster run on 500mesh and ran out =\ And... bonus, my supplier is being elusive so my follow up order is backed up >< I'll have more in stock soon hopefully.

    just did some wick tests. PG Test: 2"x1" section of 500 and 400 mesh, 2inches long, 1 inch wide, rolled tight in PG: same sized containers, same amount of liquid in each container, both wicks rolled to comparable tightness, no center hole, solid wick. 500 wicked faster, I lit the PG on fire...

    Vivi nova video is almost complete. I'll do the aga-T video tomorrow and I"m doing some comprehensive wicking tests on my 400 and 500 mesh which I'll include results from in my mesh video.

    A lot of folks are buying from a mesh supplier, not a mesh manufacturer. I spent 2 weeks talking to about 15 different mesh manufacturers until I found one willing to work with me on price on a long term contract and make the mesh for me. I have a long history in other jobs negotiating with...

    Thanks for your business :) I'm glad my prices are getting people to try new things or retry things they've given up in your case. That sorta thing makes me very happy!

    well, with the 500 I'm using a rather large piece. I havn't actually measured it, I think it's about 5 inches. (I'm using scraps from my bulk order to make my wicks so not a lot of reference points) and I roll it for a long time to get it as tight as possible. As for the coils, currently I've...

    I've taken to torching my wick piece before I roll it too. Basically my build process is this: (and theres a billion different ways to do this) 1. Cut mesh to length/width with a little extra for trimming. 2. Torch mesh, front and back, not excessively but paying special attention to edges...

    Nicely written. If I may offer some suggestions. 28 awg takes quite a lot of wire to get any semblance of "standard resistance', and you will definitely want to check the resistance before, and after wick installation if you're using that method (building coil, inserting wick). Even if it...

    nope, it's nto a 12x12 lol, that'd be a whole sheet ;) The peices are ~2inches by ~5-6 inches. When I process the 12x12 sheets, I have a strip left over, I cut that into ~2inch wide sections to put with the aga's to 'test' the different mesh. You also get ~6-8inches of each of my kanthal...

    we'll see lol. I think once the prices get out there to the community at large I'll end up recommended a bit more. Once I get my new products in a couple of weeks, that's going to stir up some interest as well, and after the new year when I'm carrying my custom line and some "super secret"...
