I called the mesh company and asked for #600...they will look into it
Lol, I did too, #600 should be even better.

, I remember reading that word for the first time on ECF (almost a year ago now) and thinking to myself, hey, in a place where words are made up on a regular basis...that's as good as any I guess?This is the reply I got from them when I asked why they sent me 400 instead of 500 for the freebie.
To be honest we vary rarely send out #400 and #500 mesh as the freebie. We
only do this when we have a sheet or two left over from a lot of orders and
it makes more sense to send it than it does to stock it.
Usually free sheets are #270 - #300, but it all depends on the day of
cutting.

Well the site implies that you buy one and get a second free, which suggests the same grade, beyond that it is sort of a roll of the dice though, and after all they are throwing in the extra third in above and beyond. Maybe including a note in the order stating you already have the other sizes and are really curious about the # 500 would help.

Or bigger lungs, actually my draw time has been reduced to around 4 sec instead of 6 sec.
I went ahead and purchased an A3 sheet of #500 today. Hopefully it holds up to your guys' reviews and experiences 
I have been vaping the 70mm 500 wick all day about 6ml. Very little backwash with no center hole in the wick, exceptional wicking and I have purposely kept it vertical most of the time. Have not had a single dry hit and so much vaper my draws are shorter. Two 4 sec draws instead of two 6 sec draws. No hot spitting of juice since there is no center hole in the wick. I really think this mesh finally gives true wicking that can keep up with chain vapers. Looking forward to #600 mesh but this is very good.
My first impression with the #500, 1/2 sec draws (sorry for the swearing but this is soooo good)

Good Lawd!!! That's what I call wicking!!My first impression with the #500, 1/2 sec draws

Great isn't it? What size did you roll?

Gotta say thanks on all the great ideas on mesh and wick rolling. I have ordered some 500 mesh for my DID, and have rolled your suggested wick using the 400 mesh. Fat wick very tight hole, and the thing wicks like a monster, never a dry hit. I can only imagine 500 mesh. The wick hole on the DID is 3.5mm to start with, so I have always made the mistake of thinking I needed a large center hole and the thing acted like Mt Vesuvius most of the time. With the small hole it appears like the juice is landing on the coils, where it belongs. Much better, thanks again.

I never had much joy with the fat, thin wall wicks on my DID. All that talk about better flavor with the thin wall fat wick!!!
Dual wick(small inside thick) seemed promising so I made a hybrid rolling one end of the wick realy tight with tiny hole and the final end loose to 3.2mm for a snug but not choking fit in the DID, hey presto dual wick double capillary action.
I have ordered som#500 mesh a few days ago after finding this thread, so will try the 70mm beast when it arrives.
Are we talking goodbye to the capillary action, is it not nessasary with so much absorbent matter?

studiovap: Are we talking goodbye to the capillary action, is it not nessasary with so much absorbent matter?
Don't understand your question, absorbance is a result of capillary action. Leaving a wick with loose roll at the bottom reduces the capillary action and will absorb less. More mesh with more holes pressed tight together wicks (absorbs) better than a loosely rolled wick where the holes are farther apart and the molecules have a further distance to travel. All my SS wicks fit tight in the hole and I have never experienced any reduction in the wicking as most of the capillary action is internal in the wick. On all my new wicks with #500 I am eliminating the center hole. The #500 has such excellent capillary action that the volcanic action of a center hole is not necessary. IMO
