That if you recall was one of the options in teh sign up sheet (custom anodizing)

Been to long bro. My memory is getting as short as my.........nevermind. I have an extra side panel from my Harley I could send your way so you could see what I'm wanting.
Personally, I like this idea
But you could always go with a 4mm hole and a 3mm sleeve

Wouldn't the wick hole size in theory be similar to the air hole size. Much easier to make it larger by simply drilling it out than trying to make it smaller....
I think the 3mm size if plenty large enough..

In theory yes, but if the wick hole is too close to the positive post you can't drill it out. I would ideally want the wick hole as close to the positive post as is feasible. That and drilling an airhole is an easier task compared to a wick hole. I would be fine with 3mm but prefer 3.5.
Kenom I have a question for you just to clear some things up, I believe you have decided to use a larger wick hole correct? which I love because I drilled my wick to 1/8 and it wicks like a champ. another thing is will the wick hole be completely anodized? I'm not a anodizing professional but does anodizing the wick hole substitute for a insulator so we won't have to worry about shorts with a partially oxidized wick? I'm new to anodizing so I'm just trying to figure everything out. Thanks ken for a awesome product.
The anodizing is an electrical isolator so yes it will prevent shorts to the side of the hole for a partially oxidized wick. I'm going to be running an experiment today. I picked me up some aluminum braid and will be anodizing it today for a wick So, not only will the host be anodized, but my wick will be as well. Since it's braid, it should wick like crazy too.
great deal, sounds good ken will we be able to purchase separte aluminum cable from you? and with wick hole do you have a spec for the diameter as well, also whats your ETA with the first prototype of the model-t.
hehe I've been playing today with my anodized aluminum wick.. it has potential. I'll post vids here in a moment
Sorry, they are uploading, it just takes a long time when your uploading 60mb at 54kb/s
Believe it or not, that's only a hotspot because the wick is acting as a heatsink for the rest of the Kanthal and drawing the heat away from it. So, you see it red there because there is no aluminum to act as a heatsink.
Because it is wicking heat away it means that the vapor that is produced does not taste in any way shape or form burnt, or like any "metal" so the flavor is probably the truest flavor I have EVER tasted in a genesis device. Smooth, not much kick (burn) good throat hit and once I dial in the coil where I want it, will be a veritable fog machine. Since it's pulling the heat away from the Kanthal, you could probably run those sub ohm coils without having to worry about burning that juice.
I currently am working on getting some beta testers for the wick and am sending them out a 2" section to test. Only requirements, having tried and used stainless mesh, rope and ceramic and have a 3mm hole in your genesis.
Oh and being willing to pay $2 shipping.
