Just wick and wire. He uses the Challis so he bought wick in bulk and I think he said he had wire coming. I am sure he will up dates us. Or next time I talk to him I will see what he is going to do with the Wick and Wire.

Hay buddy 
I have been using 28ga or 30ga Kanthal wire for my LR set ups. about 6 wraps of 28 around two peaces of 2mm wick and I can get 1.1. This is a rocking set up on the REO Grand 30 will use a few less wraps but is good for tight places.
The more wraps you can get the better.
More heating area = better vape IMO.

Thanks Wayne. Great start. One place has 0.8 and 0.10 but no 0.9. I just saw on a toy forum a guy having trouble finding an 0.9.

I am going to order like 10 just to have in the stash. Now to find the set screws and O-Rings
I will work on that during the week. Should not be that hard to get a good pile of back up parts for the ERA.

I just ordered some. Invoice says, "Applicable shipping charges will be added;" shouldn't be too much.

I just found these by searching google for: 0.9mm allen wrenches.
Amazon.com: 0.9mm Hex Wrench, Blue: T-Rex 250: Toys & Games

for all those looking for the set screws for the ERA. i work in a bolt/screw factory and the stated size on FB is 2mm m2 thread.
i do not believe this is correct. we make metric bolts /screws and the smallest we have made is 6mm. the common industry designation is
m6= 6mm/ m10 = 10 mm therefore m2 is the diameter of the set screw. a m6 or 6mm screw has a thread pitch of 1.0. this is industry standard. so a 2mm should have a pitch of about .4 and this is the only thread pitch listed on mcmaster carr website. i will order some and let you know if they work

If I am not mistaken these are m2 .4
That is as close as I can get to see it with my thread gauges.
I am going to order some, but I am going to get regular screws as it is easier to come up with a screw driver than a tiny hex key

I will tear mine down tomorrow and take a mic to it and get the measurements for the O-rings.
Looks like the O-ring is 1/2" O.D X 3/8" I.D X 1/32" Wide.
This is what I came up with, should be accurate but YMMV.
This is a link to a PDF file with everything you would want to know about O-rings and seals.

I'm shocked it's not a metric o ring. Any luck on the thread size?
It is a 2mm dia with a .4 thread pitch how ever long, for some reason I didn't measure the length
