Got both 28g and 30g packages today. I had submitted a comment to USPS this morning regarding the 28g package and included my phone number. I got a call from the local mail sort hub shortly before today's delivery and was told that the delay was due to Sandy and it should be delivered today ... And it was :D

That's a #500 mesh wick, 105mm in length.

28 kanthal a-1, 5/6 wrap at 1.1 ohm.

With a fresh battery at 4.2volts, that’s 3.82 amps and 16 watts on the mechanical mod.


Going to use the 30awg on my bliSS for a dual wick setup.

I'd be careful with using these lower resistance wires with dual coils, just saying :D

Mine stayed in Tampa until late last night (3 days), then it suddenly showed up in the B.R. 'sort facility' and it was delivered today. 1 day after the "expected delivery by" date.

TLDR? It'll be there when you least it expect it. :D

hrmmmmmm my wire is now mia as well. it has been in tampa since the 17th says it was supposed to get delivered yesterday yet i live in VA sooooooo dunno how that is supposed to work :unsure:

it's probably left tampa days ago but wasn't scanned in any other place. usps delivery confirmation has courtesy tracking - nothing to be relied on, lol
i've had stuff that never made it into the system until the delivery scan! :lol:

Caught this earlier tonight on Youtube. I subscribe to Dan's channel. Pretty amazing. Never knew that Pyrex could take that much heat so quickly. Looks very promising.

Have you guys checked out this new Pyrex insulated wick thread?

The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

Seems like it could be pretty major!

Yeah, if scubabatdan and BJ43 are both into it/interested it has potential at the very least.
