Yikes! Unless that is Kuna...

50$ is about $9 American.

You need to make some machinest friends. They tend to like either guns or cars... and if you don't break the lathe, or yourself, they will start to slowly trust you around the shop.

No, its not a 50 kunas it is 50.00USD.

Hi...amazing mods and very cool atty. I am wondering when we can see a video of someone hitting one of these and what the cloud of vapor looks like on exhale?

Thanks a lot!!

Mein Gott in Himmel. Sehr gut! Wunderbar!

May mot mean anything Guys, But here's my 2Ps on the vapor reduction. About 3 weeks ago, I lost almost all my vapor and taste in one day. with any ohm atty, voltage, juice. there was still No vapor or taste(except menthol taste). At the same time we started running the heat in our home. hot air heat, which is very dry. coincidence? This morning I took my Binky out with me to start my Wife's car, ice on the windshield. I got Plumes of vapor outside, when I came back inside. No vapor to speak of.
The dry air may be effecting my taste buds also. just some food for thought. :>)

raidy sayd to roll to 2mm OD. Somewhere in the thread people started to get confused and thought he meant 2 mm ID.

Right, I took it as 2mm OD. It just doesn't seem to add up tho, if you had 4 layers the first layer alone would be around
9mm wide, adding in the other layers would be well over 15mm?

As it the fluid in the wick rizes, there is more mass suspended within the wick. Eventually this amount of mass aproaches a hight where there is enough mass for gravity to pull down on the fluid hard enough to cancel out the interatomic forces that want to pull the fluid up the capillary. Much like a mercury thermometer, fluid will rize faster at the base of the wick than it does when it aproaches the calculated maximum hight for the fluid/geometery involved.

If it takes a very long time to get the necisary amount of fluid to wick to the coil, you might want to think about decreasing the ID of the capillary. Perhaps the calculated maximum hight for the fluid in the capillary you constructed is to close to the measured value for the hight of the coil. It would make sence that you would want the maximum calculated value for the hight of the fluid to exceed the hight of the coil by a decent enough margin so that fluid will be wicked up faster than it is vaporized. As you decrease the ID, not only does the hight you can expect out of the fluid be higher, but the time it would take for fluid to reach the coil would also decrease.

I hope that was clear, i cannot get much clearer without some mathematics and/or a chart. This is why many people are recommending to make the wick tighter.

I would also take a look at that spiral cross-section type of roll for the wick.

Roy, you only need ~3.14mm to make that one layer. But it isn't all about the math. If you've ever 'built a joint' euro-style, with 3 papers (ECB) and a stiffer paper (used bus ticket) for a mouthpiece/filter, it is much like that filter. Once you get it started you roll it into itself, sliding it ever so slightly to tighten it and get a nice spiral shape. Funny how raidy can do this after 10 beers in the dark, hmmm.

I'm sitting here reading this....Vaping on my eGo....and feeling very inferior...Amazing stuff....

All I can say is DITTO!!!

very nice, i like how you were able to fit it onto the end of an ego battery.

What material are you using for the top plug (it it the same thing you are heating up in the second picture?

 

[Gummy Bear]

I do know from all of the different rolls of wick that I have done so far that the wetness of the wick has all the world to do with the wetness of the smoke but,,,, A dryer wick will produce a dryer smoke with something to exhale. If you watch the video posted here last night the smoker puff, puff, puff, puffed, and then inhaled. By then he had gotten the atty's wick dry enough to make small particle droplets. A pipe smoker smokes like that, I don't. Sorry guys, this mod is just not for me. Like I said last night, mine smokes like that one in the video does. It's not that it doesn't work. I can puff, puff, puff enough smoke to choke a horse, but there is still that thingy about the taste and all of the condensation going into my lungs.

This pic seems to state 2mm ID.

Yup, pottery clay fired to make ceramic. It works very well!

I'm using #325 mesh coiled to form an OD of approximately 2mm or maybe a bit less.....

There is off course also a difference in the weaving method of this mesh......

You get twilled or woven. I'm using twilled. Woven is used for screen printing. Dunno how that works yet......

 

[asdaq]

WB, that is for a piece of SS tube, the mesh is 1.8 in that diagram, to fit inside that tube. I think that is someone else's diagram too- not sure.

l3oertije, S.A. and you can get stewalin?? I'm a neighbor and no one has it here. Looks grand, that there yours

The ID of the metal tube is 2mm. That means the OD of the mesh wick is , at most, 2mm. But he goes on to clarify that the OD of his mesh wick is 1.8 mm. He is not telling us that the ID of the mesh wick is 2 mm.

Well come on now,,, don't keep us hanging.

Yeah! POIDH!
