    The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

    Right on, interested to see how it turns out. I think I'm going to order some 4mm tube from willmad and see if I can make a sleeve over the coil wrapped around the 2.5 mm tube with wick inside.

    The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

    Gorilla epoxy claims to be nontoxic when cured, and I believe I remember someone mentioning it around here, I don't know that I'd trust it around the heat generated by the coil though, definitely research. Would superfine glass beads threaded on the wire work? I remember a post where folks used...

    The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

    Soldering iron won't be enough, but a chefs torch might work. Are you using the 2.5mm that comes packaged in the plastic tube? The glass is thin enough to reshape but don't use cold metal to crimp it or it will shatter. Heat and spin, let gravity do most of the work, cool slowly. I used to work...

    The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

    very cool! Silver melts w/ a lighter, but you might be able to double up w/resistance wire and make a small crimp in the glass to seal. Have you tested how well the mesh wicks w/that setup?

    The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

    I can tell when the mesh heats to temp, the vape sweetens up and the slight menthol comes out (kool cantalope-rasberry diy) Probably going to order larger diamiter tube and use it as a sleeve over the coil, was avoiding that because of the potential for the glass shattering but the brosilicate...

    The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

    I set it up on a aga-t and wound the coil as low as possible, around 4 mm. I re-drilled the airhole on the cap at an angle towards the mouthpiece @3/64th's, but it doesn't have too much of an effect on redirecting the airflow. Trying to set it up so that I can screw the cap on all the way, keep...

    Not ceramic, just brosilicate glass tubing that was brought up at the beginning of the thread.

    The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

    Got some willmad 2.5 mm capillary tubing and 3mm thin wall sample tubing today. Very easy to cut, just a light score and slight pressure. The 2.5mm is very thin so the heat from the coil transfers quickly. The glass is holding up very well, no cracks or chips. I ran a piece of silver nr wire to...

    Got my new Itaste MVP in today. Pic posted

    Nice! I've been thinking about getting one of those, but just got a zmax. Always been a fan of the box mod form. How's the button?

    Introducing the AGA - Hydra and the AGA - Tiamat Rebuildable Atomizer Tanks

    Been following that thread, anyone who wants to give it a shot should definitely read up. There where concerns about "Pyrex" glass shattering from temp variances. With that being said I've already placed an order for some tubes on tuesday

    Vaping tobacco flavored juice... logical?

    Been vaping for a year and still prefer fruit/drink flavors. I DIY all my juices and my "tobaccos" taste nothing like analogs, more like a hint of pipe tobacco burried in caramel or honey. I cant think of a reason to try to replicate something I spent so long to get away from. Vape what you...

    A controlled experiment with pluid. Other types of liquid that do this and why?

    I formed two massive cracks in my aga-t tank in about 10 minutes, and etched a vivi nova tank with a DIY mix containing a triacetin based flavor. Not saying that's the culprit, I just had a similar experience. I have lost tanks to banana juice but they tend to start as fine webbed fractures...

    Customers buy e liquid for the quality e liquid, not the appearance of the packaging... hopefully. I think b&w labelling is a good idea. I also believe all vapers should treat their liquid as a potentially hazardous chemical. Proper organization and storage helps to prevent misplaced liquids and...

    Do you fiddle with your thingy?

    OCD, I've been checking out your products over the past week or two and just wanted to give you a tip of the hat. I don't use cartos very often but do have an AGA-T, and was thinking about getting a custom graphic glass as a 1 year vaping self-gift. Can you do simple text on tanks?
