I took my 18490 woodvil and sanded down the top of the catch cup about 1/8 to 3/16, now my ERA fit's beautifull with no problems. Before sanding I could screw the ERA on but when I went to put the top part of the ERA on it, it wouldnt go down all the way, so if you sand it a little it allows it to go down all the way. Maybe this will work for all woodvils?

Tried the SS mesh wick and now I remember why I went back to silica! For one thing, if the coil touches the base it creates a short! Now the XS-18 silica sleeve might be a very good idea.
I clicked on that vendor link. Next to the XS-18, what will I get with an order quantity of "1"?
you know....that's a good question. I just had mine delivered today. I ordered 5....lemme see. I just assumed it was per foot
Meh! $8.00 UPS was the cheapest shipping option. I was only going to order a couple of feet to try it out.
Y'all will have to talk me into it after having used it for a bit.

If it's good....maybe we can chip in and buy a bunch
No one said anything about only 1
I'm just partial to Reos many Reos
Damn now I'm gonna have to try this
I'm using XC4 in my ERA's and its been working fabulous, 5 coils of 30AWG, stick a pin in the sleeve and wrap your coils around taught,,then cut both ends with just 1/16 hanging over each side of your last coil then install your coil. Nothing comes apart this way and it all stays together really nice. I happen to have a couple of rolls of the XC4 & XC-116 from way back in 2009-10 when I found this stuff and we use to use it in the original GG iAtty. I find the flavor better then using silica and it doesn't break down with the heat rating specs it has 
you can take the torch to it first to burn off any small particles that may be on it from the manufacturing process if you want. The flavor is definitely better with no burnt taste that you get at times with using regular Silica, your also going to notice that the XC4 & XC-116 does not get that burnt mark on it or burn like the Silica does, and won't gunk as fast as the Silica so the flavor is more pronounced over Regular Silica. At least this is what I'm finding since using it in my ERA

Matt, I read that the XC4 needs to be heated in a Kiln for an hour prior to use. Is this true and how do you prepare it?
Ive thought about drilling holes in the center post at the base to let over squonked juice flow back into the bottle. Has anyone tried this?
I know it would be hard to use an actual drill, but a Dremel and high-speed bit should work.
This would make it like the Chalice pretty much...

Very risky, you'd better have a good mill and a quality bit to tackle that.
