Bulli A2-T

[BigBulli]

I have a new wick and coil in my a2-t genisis setup, I wrapped the mesh around the a2 fiberglass wick like you are supposed to do with the piercing plate and made the coil around the mesh instead of using just mesh. The wicking seems to be more controlled. I also have the wick sitting on the negative screw to create space for the coil so it is not creating a short. Heres where I just ordered a dse701 - 510 drip adapter for my a2 along with a ss torpedo tank with pyrex tube:

Here is a picture of my delrin dse701 drip tip I made:

Nice work BigBulli!

I have steel tubing on the way to create a shorter a2 for dripping with my vapemate.(will be using the 701 -510 adapter mentioned above)

I created this in about 2 min today when someone asked for a coil winder for the iatti:

It is a paper clip and two wood blocks. The coil is attached to the "handle" than a wick is held in place than you turn the handle creating a tight coil. You could also wrap mesh around the paper clip than make the coil around that. The clip slides out of the wood blocks than you can slide the coil and wick off.

Very resourceful BigBulli. how do you attach the coil to the "handle"?

 

[BigBulli]

I just wrapped it around the 90 degree bend a few times. Both of the test coils I made were more uniform in spacing.

Here is an updated version with a little more thought put in to it:

There is a u shape to make it easier to attach the end of the kanthal to and
I used a single block to make it more stable and easier to mount to a workbench.

Here is a good cheap U.S. source for wick: https://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNSRIT2?PARTPG=IMLMKD&PMPXNO=1850227
use code new25 if it is your first order from msc for 25% off
This looks like it is the same thing from bulli I just ordered 50' to test it.

Expensive, compared to silica.
But good find.
Keep posted, i'd like to know how it works!

just got a call today from msc, they can ship directly from the factory if you order 150 ft or more other wise it is a 4-6 week wait. It is cheap after 25% off. and at 1/16" it is a good size. the mcmaster car 1/16" fiberglass is a tight braid this is twisted like the stuff from bulli, tight braids won't wick as well. and silica is just all glass fiber.

have you seen the discusion in the iatty wick thread about the nextel ceramic sleeve as a wick?
Nextel Braided Ceramic Very High Temperature Sleeving
might be promising, one drawback ive seen is that you have to burn off a coating first

I looked into it before when it was being discussed on the scubagen, I don't like the high aluminum content in Alumina-Borica-Silica. Don't want alzheimers...

How do you like it so far? Changed the coil yet?

 

[blondie1964]

Nope, still going strong! Its so neat, well worth the money.

Wait until you try it with a lower resistance coil.

 

[BigBulli]

Nice, I couldn't hold out and made a new one the day it arrived.
