    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    Ok, got what you are saying and what you are getting at. What you are describing I have only ever seen using 28ga on SS. My ceramic wicks and 30ga Kanthal vape up on the spot when I fire ... no waiting for anything. Never mattered whether it's a 7/16th or 9/16 either ... they go pretty much...

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    Not sure if we are talking about the same thing... anyhoo here we go. It's a $6 stone. 1 hour later I have 30+ roughcuts with a 545 Dremel wheel when all is said and done. That same little wheel will cut at least another 3 - 5 stones. That's 1 "rough" every 2 minutes. No more driving, stone or...

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    I decided to try a couple of things with the new "roughs" bubble-stix I cut up yesterday. First, I made the wick longer so it nearly touches the roof of the cap to act as reservoir for more juice. This has worked out really well for short burst of chain-vaping. Juice comes from both top and...

    Kanthal wire retail locations?

    Juggies has Kanthal and e-liquid base and he's in Alberta. What gauge are you looking for? Not sure how you make mods with local parts? I guess you are not talking about g-atties, but Vivi Novas and what not. I got away from that dream, it ended up being too costly. Stock up for a few years...

    AGA T2 Rebuildable Atomizer

    Something is not seated right. I usually examine things very close up, the answer often falls into my lap. Thanks for the laugh ... :laugh:

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    20mm diameter. On 8 slices you are losing minimally around 26mm on the circumference to the saw-cut, 37mm left for 8 strips, with 4.5mm each strip on the outside ... it's tight, but doable if your clamping and cuts are precise for a total of 24 roughs. The little 545 dremel will do about 32 -...

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    Without calculating cutting the 37-40mm long sections off the Topfin cylinder (which I would do with a commercial angle grinder), it took about 45 minutes to cut all the roughs. Goes very fast with that little 454 Dremel wheel. Just a heads-up. It would probably cost less to buy Topfin...

    Why does the Provari hit differently than the eVic?

    Hence a multi-meter. I use AW batteries, not Trustfires, never heard of them melting of blowing up. More often than not the Provari, based on numerous posts throughout this forum has failed to register impedance under 1.2 ohms. Neither does mine, neither does the eVic, making these devices next...

    Why does the Provari hit differently than the eVic?

    The error messages are limited to the limitations of the Provari and other electronic mods. Obviously if your multi-meter reads less than 5 ohms, which the Provari and other electronic mods are oblivious to, you don't fire it. Shorts are completely eliminated by insulating the mesh from...

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    Not very efficient cutting, but I got 18 roughs out of a 6" topfin I bought a week ago. Should be able to get at least 30, if not more. That should do me for a while. Now for the Michelangelo work ... If there is going to be a "Next time", I'm going to pre-cut the length with a 10" concrete...

    Nic content in RBA's

    Thanks. It's in part at least subjective. But yes, I felt I could take it down a touch and I did. If you get more flavor sensation, you'll also get a more pronounced nicotine hit. I'm also vaping less, so quitting altogether may in fact be on the horizon not too far off either.

    Why does the Provari hit differently than the eVic?

    I run my mechanical at 1.7 ohms ... my sweet spot ... and even here it hits harder with 26/28ga Kanthal. The error messages from the Provari, eVic and other electronic mods more often than not prevent me from oxidizing the coils/mesh. So I oxidize them on the mechanical and then ... voila ...

    Just ordered my Evic

    7.6 watts only at 80PG/20VG. And it's more than a mouthful. Damn good TH and vape. Often vids on this order are done with 100Vg at 15 watts to max the vapor output. I can do that too, but I don't vape that way. I doubt very much that any given Genny makes an enormous difference. It's in the...

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    Why I had 2 of my AGA-T2s drilled to 9/64. The travel on the outside, being unrestricted by pores, detours, winds, etc., has to be much faster. Juice climbing up the outside of other juice like a tsunami rolls over itself, and explains why short wicks work equally well providing liquid contact...

    Insert your vaping slogan here

    Curiosity is fine, but there must be sufficient information in the slogan to render a concept. If you have to hit the net or ask around what it means, it's not effective. Example: Id' rather be vexomating than driving the Alps. (Bumper sticker slogan) My attention would just turn off. I'd...

    Why does the Provari hit differently than the eVic?

    I recently acquired the Lavafire Mech mod ... a real cheap $28 piece of junk, but it hits so hard both the eVic and Provari have been collecting more and more dust since. Poldiac next, soon leaving electronic mods behind for good.

    Why does the Provari hit differently than the eVic?

    At low power I cannot tell a difference between the two. Under heavier loads the eVic stock Li-ion battery drops off but that's easily remedied by throwing an AW IMR. Just this evening I did my first 28ga on a genny, ran them both on the Provari and the eVic ... different response qualities, but...

    finally went 28ga kanthal

    Just received my 28ga Kanthal (finally) and ran a 5/6, 4mm ss mesh wick on my AGA-T2 genny. 1.3 ohm, vapes exceptionally well on my mechanical and still much better on any other electronic PV in comparison to 30 or 32. I'm going to do all my gennys up in 28ga ... much better vape no matter which...

    Just ordered my Evic

    eVic, 28ga Kanthal on AGA-T2, 220mm long SS mesh of 4mm diameter wick @ 1.3ohms running at 7.6watts. Way better vape than either 30 or 32 gauge.

    Insert your vaping slogan here

    I like it. One point though: You don't want to hit the uninitiated public with lingo they don't understand such as the word "Vape", otherwise their attention just drifts off into deep space. If the concept is to arrive, the words used in the slogan would have to be commonly known ones. Just a...
