Has Raidy abandoned this thread and/or these boards?
I really hope not as I'm patiently waiting for part 2 to be posted so those of us who are/will be building our own will have specifics.
I see pailpoe has made a similar atty, but I really question the functionality of it, especially at a realistiv voltage/wattage... and, in my opinion only, it seems as though pailpoe is overdoing it and I personally get the "hey everyone, look what I made, it's so much better than that other one. look at me look at me!" (not trying to flame, but seriously.. I think he's pretty much spamming at this point..) and I just hope it's not making Raidy reluctant to continue sharing info about the genesis with us.
This thread is about playing with and exchanging ideas. Pailpoe's design is showing a different way to get a result. That it doesn't seem practical isn't the point. It is a working prototype of an atty using the wick as the heating element. Simply an idea with which others can play. If you want people to withhold ideas because they aren't good enough for you this forum has no purpose. If I make something I think is interesting it will be posted. So I apologize in advance.
