How many volts do you have to put through that coil to get good vapor?
Technique confirmed!

Followed Larry B's video http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modding-forum/330407-500-ss-mesh-40.html#post7671686, then applied Cracked3dOne's methodhttp://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modding-forum/330407-500-ss-mesh-40.html#post7672047.

Bingo! Fasted, tightest SS wick I have made to date... Thanks guys!

Had a little extra time ;) so I used it on wrapping that wick with a 28g 12 wrap coil (2.1ohms)...

vape heaven....

After 3mls....

Its a cool, low to medium volume vape starting at ~4v. It starts kickin and bucking at 4.7v. I have taken it to 5.2v, but my lip starts to burn. The math says I can take it to 5.5v (~14.5 watt limit on a Provari). I cant see a need to take it that high.

Damn. I'm going to have to give that a shot.

Made a 500 wick with twisted 32g kanthal for 7/8 wraps and came out to 1.3 ohms. So far so good, i think i like this twisted wire coil better than a straight coil.

Question though, does your bottom coil heat up at all? No matter what i did it barely turned red, and i made sure it wasn't touching the base.

Same here when I did the pre-wick insert coil check, but mine is pretty tight to the base. Maybe just some heat sink effect going on?

Where is Pfloozieville Texas.....maybe the mailman is lost.
I am in Ennis Texas. Ordered and shipped 11/2 and arrived today.

Ha! It's actually Pflugerville. I thiiiink it's the only city in the country that starts with Pf, so Pflugerville is all crazy about the Pf. They make Pf stickers, name things like "Pfestival" and "Pfarmacy" and other suck corny activities. But ya, there's a lot of floozies here, so I combined the two.

I ordered 10/31, still don't have it.
