    Why are SS mesh wicks getting populars

    Yes, but you have to oxidize the wick before you install it to prevent it from causing shorts. My favorite method is to dip it in VG and set fire to it four or five times.

    Fatty v2 bottom feeding rebuildable atomizer prototype by Chris Creations & OKC Vapes

    Nope. OKCVapes is busy right now leading the good fight against the ......... tobacco lobbyists and their paid monkeys (our state legislators) trying to tax and take over the local vape market. And with the Reomizer 2.0 being released, I suspect he's punted to Chris Creations to see if they...

    Or rinse it out under hot water and let it dry a bit. BUT I'd take it off my VVG first!

    An Affordable RBA 2.0

    As long as it forms a tube, it's all good. Obviously, you coil it when it's still on the drill bit, paper clip, large sewing needle, etc. How many layers just equals how thick it is, and that's a matter of personal preference.

    An Affordable RBA 2.0

    I've got both, and I honestly can't tell the difference between the two, except when I'm buying it. I think it MAY make a difference when using it for a genesis or zenesis coil, but it's negligible when using it on a RM2.

    What ribbon kanthal to get?

    I ended up going with the .5mm from Greece. Wished it didn't take so long to get here.

    Should I ditch the rest???

    Tough call. I've heard the method to fight hoarding is that if you don't use something for six months, you should get rid of it. Now, like dogs, six months is approximately six years when it comes to vaping supplies. I'd say if you don't use it in a month or two, sell it. I recently did...

    An Affordable RBA 2.0

    How do you oxidize a wick? There's two methods: one is to head the wick with a blowtorch and stick in water repeatedly. The other is to dip it in ejuice or vg and set fire to it a few times. THAT said, what do you think happens after you give the bottle a few hard squonks and then vape? The...

    Auto-feeding in REO Grand?

    If you can figure out what's causing it, and tweak it slightly, so that just the right amount of juice gets into the atty with every draw, that would be stellar!

    An Affordable RBA 2.0

    I know I'm on the verge on being the 'why don't this guy shut up about this' dude on this subject, but try some ss mesh wick if you want better flavor on your RM2. The beauty of this design is that the wide ceramic base makes SS mesh coils supremely easy, no need to oxidize the wick first.

    RM2 Wick & Coil Setups

    Do you heat the ribbon with a lighter before coiling like you do with the wire? Thanks.

    RM2 Wick & Coil Setups

    Sorry, it's coming in from Greece. You know, the country. At the edge of Europe. The place where they're devaluing the Euro single handedly. Sorry, zero percent chance of it coming in time. I can make you a hell of a deal on 100 feet of 30 gauge kanthal wire, however.

    RM2 Wick & Coil Setups

    Okay 10 meters of .5mm ribbon from greece for $14.20 including expedited shipping. Not bad. Thanks Of course, my big spool of kanthal wire just came in today.

    Why are SS mesh wicks getting populars

    I may be behind some of the impetus of which you speak. :facepalm: SS mesh is a bit more durable in a wick than silica and cotton, and doesn't mute the flavor of your juice. Wrapping it around a screw, nail, bit, etc., also creates a hollow tube in the middle that's great for saturating the...

    RM2 Wick & Coil Setups

    Think I'll wait until you get home, since you have a Reomizer2, and presumably posters in other threads don't. Reason being that if it's .4 being difficult, .5 will be impossible. Thanks for your help. And my quick research shows that the thinner the ribbon, the higher the resistance. Some...

    RM2 Wick & Coil Setups

    Right. But there's different types of ribbon wire, and just want to make sure I get the 'correct' one. Do you suggest the .4 or .5 mm? Seeing a couple of good deals from a vendor in Greece. Do you suggest .3 or .5 mm? I'm thinking .3 would be easier to get in the post holes...
