I received my Mark Bugs Chalice III the other day. It's been sitting on my build bench for about a week. In anticipation of receiving my Squask (Squonker Flask
), I decided to put a build in the Chalice. I took some pix along the way so I thought I'd share.
30g nickel, 8/9 wrap, 2mm ID.
Sally's rayon. Cut off a piece about 1/4" wide, rolled it between my palms and threaded it through the coil.
Here you can see good coil contact.
Snipped the ends off,
Fluffed the ends up.
Took about half of the wick and tucked it back between the mounting posts and down into the juice well.
Tucked the rest down underneath the coil.
I'm thinking I might go back and trim a little from the tails going back between the posts.
And now I patiently await delivery of my Squask.
