635 Mesh

[BJ43]

There are a few who have already gotten some. Mine should be here in a few days and I will compare it on the kerosine lamp to the 500. I know there is another thread somewhere but thought there should be a thread here in the modding section. I know Dan and Crack3dOne have tried it and are happy with it.

Thrilledwith it, just like the 500, do not wrap it so tight you inhibit juice flow. For rmy SGMv3 I used a 30mm x 70mm wick, it came out right at 3/32" no hole and semi tight wrap. Wicks beautifully! You will like it.

Stormy has it also, lol I put Shorty and that's for pilot supplies.

Stormy that would be, Great to hear! Dan, do you mean 3/32"? 5mm is a lot of wick. Can't wait for more.

You are correct, I have amended it.
Thanks,

Here is where I got my 635 Mesh from, I posted it as a pic as the ECF strips all URL's from A L I E X P R E S S...

Wow! $477.00 for a square meter ? HooAah

Yeah I contacted them and got a 20cm x 1m piece for 100 bucks. Stormy sells it at twice the price they do, just in smaller more managable pieces.

guys, is there a specifications of this mesh? I mean - wire diameter etc. If this mesh is the same as 500mesh from Meshcompany (the same wire, just composed tightly) what is the difference? Just another interest to try and to spend money?

After trying the 500 I went back to 400.I didn't notice much difference in wicking or vapor but slightly less flavor with the 500.
I did notice it's much easier to get the dreaded top leg hot spot with the 500. I now use Osturmo's recommended set up and everything works really well.

It is obvious. The mesh500 has the same wire as mesh400, just smaller gaps between wires Less liquid and more heatsink.

I disagree, smaller gap between wire gives faster capillary action and wetter. On the 635 it is even smaller wire and smaller gap. I am waiting for my 635 and will do the kerosine lamp test using 400, 500, and 635. I will use 100%vg in the lamp as fuel and compare flame and time to consume. Will try to video in the dark so flame is visible.. As I have stated many times, there are many other variables in vaping and I am only considering one in my experiments (capillary action).

 

[chuckie]

I don't disagree with your findings.I go through about 4ml's of juice a day and I don't notice much difference between the 400 and the 500 mesh other than what I mentioned in my earlier post.Maybe if I went through 8-10 mls. a day the added wicking would be necessary or helpful,but with my current use and setups it doesn't seem to matter much.
As you said above there are many other variables to consider.

Got my 635 today so I have something new to play with this weekend.

I've been using 635 from Stomy's for a few days. Unfortunately, I didn't try 500, first, so can't compare. It's wicking as fast as I can vape. I rolled it solid in a DUD. Wicking, great, only downside I've found is hand-rolling is worthless. It's almost like silk, and even when torched, it doesn't keep shape well. Rolling between two boards (or whatever two solid/flat things you have that have texture) solves this problem. I have 65mm wrapped into a wick that's 1.5mm across. I can chain-vape for 20 minutes solid (have been testing this theory while browsing ECF tonight) without any dry hits. Not sure how that compares to 500, but I've got no complaints. Pricey, but I don't imagine I'll be replacing wicks that often, so a non-issue for me.

I just rolled a 100mm 635 2.5mm dia wick with no problema. A little slippery at first, but a few drops of vg while rolling made it easy. Will stick it in a Dud with 10 wraps of 28g in the morning.

what do you mean there Dan? Isn't a denser wrap better (provided you don't end up jamming and cramming through the wick hole)?

 

[slimest]

I disagree, smaller gap between wire gives faster capillary action and wetter.

It is true if you use kerosene, but with much more viscous liquids like PG or VG this law depends on viscosity. Also, independent of liquid nature, if the mesh has the same wires, but they are closer to each other, less liquid under spiral. You get more metal (more heatsink) and less liquid. I already wrote about viscosity, no need to repeat
