#500 SS Mesh

[BJ43]

Two slots open for a sheet of 635.
This for those who want to experiment.
Have no idea yet if this twill weave will wick any better. Only the kerosene lamp will confirm that.
Thinner wire should allow denser roll, compensating for more open space and wick better.

Hoping to soon have #500 and #635 twill weave to compare with the square weave #500 on the kerosine lamp test.

So, before finding the 500 mesh and thick wick method, did anybody here ever run the double wick; the little wick tucked inside the bigger wick?

Did a burn test on the kerosine lamp with one and it actually wicked the same as long as you wrap it tight what difference could it make if the mesh is in two pieces. If you make the small one loose in the large one it wicks less, but you get the same effect as a large center hole where thermal rising pumps juice up.

Yeah, that makes complete sense, but I figured since this thread was made in the interest of determining the effectiveness of wicks through trial and observation, it would only make sense to see if you (or anybody else) actually tested that method to see how it worked.

I tried that method. Didn't work so well. I just make mine like emonty does. One piece, rolled super tight and oxidized correctly. Stiff and grey when done. Works perfectly.

I got 2 pieces of mesh with my chinnese clone did, dud, whatever and cant do a thick wick without combining the two. As for yesterday I have 1 less layer of skin on my left thumb. Couldn't get the combined two meshed tightly enough...

Sorry for this, but it's a really long thread.. anywhere to get the 500 mesh in the US? And/or 400 mesh for reasonable price? Ebay is good, or anywhere that takes paypal.

That's all I had to work with too. Using both definitely improved things, but I sure hope I can get it better when I can afford some more mesh.

I tried rolling with my fingers for a while. Progress was very slow. Then I used a small board to roll my mesh on a wooden cutting board... pressure on the forward roll (if that doesn't work, turn the mesh around, or use pressure on the back roll). Had it rolled a little too tight in about a minute.

Thanks a bunch!

This eBay listing is bit better bargain for #400 - $15 for 12"x12"

Maryhoffer had really fast shipping too. That's where I get my 500 and 400.

Hmmm, $7.50 for 3" x 3" #500 mesh shipped, that is like one wick for BJ on a small holed atty... she needs bigger sheets.

 

[Crack3dOne]

I bought the rest of the 6x6 sheets two days ago from her. LOL

Sorry.

Just received from The Mesh Company my order for 200mm x 300mm of #500.
Two samples were included, 200mm x 300mm of #200. The thickness is super fine. Feels like silk
and a 135mm x 125mm of #1400. I think it's #1400. It's not marked liked the other 2 sheets. The thickness is super THICK. I thought several sheets were stuck together but I can't separate it so it must be one sheet.

A letter from Chris Platt was included saying that they are currently working on new materials that can be used by the e-cig market.
These materials are designed to be cheaper, and just as good for the very fine filtration job that they require.

But we need your help!

This sheet is #200 x #1400 mesh, with an 11-13 micron aperture.
Is this something that is suitable for e-cig wicking?
It is a very rare material, but we have an abundant stock of it from a recent acquisition.

Just an FYI for anyone interested. I just got a news letter and it looks like Stormy's will be getting #635 in stock soon as well as #500.
