    A look at various wicking materials for rebuildable atomizers

    A couple of bar graphs for you visual learners: All of the data: Here I've removed the ReadyXWick (unfair comparison) and the Avid Pima (I'll share my thoughts on this later) and zoomed the y-axis to better show the differences between the other wicks.

    A look at various wicking materials for rebuildable atomizers

    I thought about this. I even started calculating that value. But in the end I decided against it, for myself anyway. I spent quite a bit of time with each material forming wicks that I would use if wicking an RDA. All of the wicks I tested snugly filled the coil and were 1.15-1.25 inches long...

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    Thanks. I have no proof that is what happened. But I'm a hobbyist glass artist, and many friends have lost pieces of work in shipping to very similar holes. It is widely believed that USPS mechanically "probes" packages deemed suspicious. Personally, it's difficult for me to believe that this...

    I suspect it may have a lot to do with how carefully you handle them when drying them. But, yeah, they did for me in this test.

    A look at various wicking materials for rebuildable atomizers

    Setting up for the first round of experiments: juice retention I have an 8/9 wrap 22 ga coil installed on my Twisted Messes RDA. Roll, install and trim a wick. Then remove it, re-roll it if necessary, weigh it, and lay it in a bath of 75/25 VG/PG to fully saturate. Remove the wick using a...

    Why wattage, what we care about is current!

    What really matters is the temperature of the surface of the coil, the surface area of the coil, the delivery of e-liquid to the coil by the wick, and airflow over the coil/wick. Sadly, this isn't something that can be simply "computed" using Ohm's Law. Vaping is far more complex than you...

    Stainless/stainless Damascus is a real thing. The pattern is subtle, but just as beautiful as pattern welded carbon steel. Would make a beautiful mod, it would. For the record, my Damascus Infected Zombie mod doesn't have a spot of corrosion after months of use. The Infected Zombie Mod...

    Serious post: Mechanical bottom feed mods are currently, to my eye, the most cutting edge pieces of gear in the vaping world. I couldn't care less about titanium temperature control 200 watt "battery cases" - they're just tools. A handful of artists have accepted the challenge of taking vaping...

    Not to burst everyone's bubble, but the electrical conductivity of ALL of the precipitation hardenable structural aluminum alloys (virtually all of them) is SO dependent on the specific heat treatment used, that saying any specific alloy is the best is really a crapshoot. Sorry. Titanium is an...

    Really old metallurgical engineer here, just stirring the pot and living the dream. :smokie: A titanium mod MIGHT be out of reach with your current kit. But maybe not. Machining Ti is really all about tools and feeds and speeds and LOTS of coolant. I've read threads where others (no names - I'm...
