Pfft, don't think I didn't think about it :facepalm:...currently I've got the smok Mega baby bottle DT jammed into my vape chamber...that big chunk of rubber taking up volume in my chamber seemed to change it from a good device to a great device...which is why I asked...seems there's no shortage of talk re: wicking/coils and such and trying to find some common ground...however when we're all using different devices with different chamber volumes...I mean, that has to be a consideration...or maybe not???
In wicking the volume of the tank is irrelevant, the height of the liquid on the wick is very relevant. Capillary action is fighting gravity so the higher it has to go the less it wicks , if you stick a wick one inch into a small container or the ocean it will wick the same. Now in a small container as you vape off juice the height of the juice in the container reduces faster and thus would wick less. All this considering that all other parameters are equal. Any differences in pressure in the tank would void this.

Not the volume of the juice container, the volume of the chamber that surrounds the coil end of things...the business end :)

When you take a draw though the air pull also should be making your mesh wick, wick even more so,,, thus the wick can only hold so much liquid , which is also key, "Holding the liquid" there is a point that comes where this is an important point and the mesh maxes out on how much it can or cant hold. you will notice when taking a vape there is a point where the wick has just that right amount of liquid in it and then you get a great vape, to much no good, to little no good,, this has made me start to think about a small SS tube that would screw on over top of your wick, not touching it but just a smidgen bigger then the wick,,, what would you guys think about this idea ? so you would put your wick together and install it then screw an outer tube down over it to surround your mesh wick, thus enclosing your wick but with a very small opening as a top hole, acting as a heat sink in a way too ? This way all that extra liquid could NOT run out of the wick and back down into your juice, and also keep your wick more moist,, thoughts ???

Hey BJ43 I just got my 500 mesh from the UK with a free sheet of something really fine not sure what size but my question is did you boil it before using it.Thanks.

Boiling it cant hurt it Atlantisboy,, it can only help to purify it and get off any left over chemicals or dirt left on it from the manufacturing process, go for it.

On the ZAU I found coiling very difficult and almost ruined the wick. The DID wick could probably handle it better - I stuck a needle through mine to stabilize it, and had no problems.

I know you will order the 100 ft anyway :) - but if you want to try it today I can grab a foot of 30 and bring it to work if you're in town and want to come get it.

thanks my friend. are you going to be there this weekend too? Im here all day!

On my lab test a 70mm 500 tight wick the length of a sheet (11in) placed in 2 in if water maxed out at 3.25 inches above the water line. True the draw creates a low pressure in the heating chamber equally on the whole area of wick exposed in the heat chamber. More juice comes out the sides of the wick than out the top if there is no hole. The bigger the hole the bigger the pipe and more comes out the hole like a straw, but that is not wicking and very hard to control. Our coils have to be substantially lower than the max height and the lower they are the faster they replace the juice vaped. In the wicking process the higher the liquid rises the slower it rises until it stops when gravity overcomes adhesion.
