Ego-T Genisis

[fusan]

Hi all

I watched a German video on youtube, were a guy replaced the glasfiber-wick
with a the Stainless Steel Mesh, same as the one used on the Genisis.
This Mesh is rolled and inserted, so that it touches the heating wire in the atomizer.

Video is here... YouTube - ‪eGo-TG für e-rauchen-forum.de‬‏

I dont understand German but understood that I should Oxidate the Mesh, by heating it up,
cool it diwn in water and dry it. Then repeat this two more times.
I assume that going through this process the conduction of the mesh is being removed.

Now for the question...
Since, I assume, the oxydation layer will disapear with time, the mesh will be conductive again.
Could this method get dangerous, since the Mesh is touching the heating wire, by shortcurcuiting the battery in any way? Or even lower the Ohm?

Oxidation usually wont disappear unless it is rubbing up against something in turn wearing it off or you have some acidic e juice ( I have not encountered any ejuice that has been acidic, So i don't think you have to worry about that)or acidic cleaning chemicals that are will etch it off. But yes if for some reason the oxidation wore off it could lower the ohms and put a higher load on the battery

Also I think buildup from the juice will add another layer of insulation. This is why you have to clean or replace the wick every ?????? month or so depending on the juice and voltage you use. "Don't quote me on that time frame"
