#500 SS Mesh

[Semi Reduction]

@ Larry: Is that 32g A1. That's also my favorite setup on my Lines. 8 wraps at 9 to 10 watts

Yea mate 32awg. Really enjoying this

 

[Currynoah]

Got my #500 in the mailbox today. Setup with 70mm on the orion (I reckon can fit at least another 5 ~ 10mm) and 3/3 coils of Kanthal A1, 32awg.

Now I understand what the fuss is all about. Thanks, BJ43!!

Got this email from Chris. I am not very twitter savvy so if anyone is interested; He is keeping me informed on #600. Don't know how to let him on the forum twitter.

Hi BJ43,

I will if you'll let me link to your forum post through our Twitter page.
Deal?

We're currently working on finding a way of supplying a #600 mesh in small
sheet sizes. Cost is the major factor really, but we may have a breakthrough
in the near future.

It may be worth advising any of your fellow users to follow us on twitter as
we will be using it to announce any new materials or offers in the future.

Also we will be having a twitter follower special, one-day only, 20% sale
every time we reach 50 new followers.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Kind Regards

Chris Platt

Online Calculator for Rolled Length of Roll of Material

http://www.handymath.com/cgi-bin/rollen.cgi?submit=Entry

Does anybody know how thick #500 mesh is? Is 2x the wire thickness a good estimate based upon wire weave overlap?

For example: If #500 mesh wire diameter is .025mm, the calc indicated that with a .01mm center hole you need 200mm of mesh for a 2.5mm wick. Seem a bit improbable based upon posted results to date.

If you build in the wire overlap (2x wire diameter) to have a Mesh thickness of .05mm, you will need 100mm of mesh, which is more in line with posted efforts.

Cool tool in any case.

Keep reading this thread, but I'm still the only person who has had zero success so far with the 500.

Wicking is not great and flavor is very muted compared to the same devices with a thin wick.

ob...check your PMs.

Well OB I didn't build mine yet with #500, so you may not be alone. Received my ZAU today and was going to try it on that but thought I use the wicks that came with it 1st, as I'm not in hurry to be frustrated again. All kanthal arrived today only decision left it 28,30 or 32. Hmmm decisions decisions...

Will have to check this out later; but, the holes in 400 mesh are 0.04mm, 500 are 0.03 or 0.02. I don't think anyone is rolling a wick with a center hole of 0.01mm

From the calculator



Outside Diameter of Rolled Material (mm) 2.5
Thickness of Material (mm) 0.05 [2 X 0.025]
Diameter of Center Hole (mm) 0.01 [assuming 10micron center hole]
Length of Material (cm) 9.817 [= 98.17 mm]


Outside Diameter of Rolled Material (mm) 2.5
Thickness of Material (mm) 0.05 [2 X 0.025]
Diameter of Center Hole (mm) 0.10 [center hole 10X as large as above]
Length of Material (cm) 9.802 [= 98.02 mm]

Center hole size doesn't affect the calculation (much), which when you think about it rolleyes: ) makes sense .

Maybe I need another cup of coffee this am to wake up, but I'm not following "center hole size doesn't affect calculation much.

If outside diameter is 2 inches and center hole is 1 inch vs: O.D 2" and center hole 1/4 inch seems I'd need a lot more material for one vs: the other. OK, we don't wrap 2 inch coils, I just went 'big' to try to understand your statement.

Do you think this would be too small? 316 SS mesh with 8100 holes per square inch.

BJ to confirm.....

 

[TomCatt]

For the size of the wicks that are being rolled, the center hole doesn't have much affect.

Here's the equation for any mathematical minded folk :

Length = (0.06545/T){D^2 - C^2) feet
T = thickness of the foil; D = outside diameter of roll; C = diameter of center hole (this equation is for T,D and C measured in inches).

2.5^2 = 6.25mm
0.01^2 = 0.0001mm
0.10^2 = 0.01mm

Uhhh, that is only #90, even in the pic it looks quite transparent.

looks pretty cool, so that would be #1000. I think we need BJ in here to confirm if this will be awesome y/n

400 mesh has 39micron holes; 500 has 26micron. So actually I think the 50micron would be a smaller mesh than 400.



Just went and checked the Mesh Co website. They say their 200 mesh is 28micron and 325 mesh is 36 micron; meaning that the hole sizes in the 200 and 325 are smaller than the holes in the 400. W T F

ETA:
Oh, their "micron" measurement is referring to the wire diameter and not the hole size

200 mesh holes are 99 micron
325 mesh holes are 42 micron
