Can anyone give me some tips on wicks please? I'm a month or two into rebuildables and have only used Japanese cotton pads, I have never even used the pre installed wick/coil you get when buy a new atty. I've just been struggling this week with one of my Erls, normally I get them spot on but I'm having a bad run with this one. I think too thin and too long and it floods, too thick gets dry hits it's just a pita this week. So I've shoved some of the string type in that you get when buy an atty but that is too loose but did give a better taste to start off.
Now, what type of wick is that? Can I buy it different diameters? Or is worth trying something different like rayon?
Cheers.

If you get really stuck and can't find any, just give me a yell and I'll post you some. I've got a 500 foot roll, enough to last at least 20 years
I'd say watch a few vids first though, it needs a different wicking method to cotton. Cotton expands when it's wet with juice, but rayon shrinks a little.

Good luck finding rayon Dave, I've looked all over the net and cant find any
With wicking I've found that I get the best results when I use just enough cotton so that once threaded I can just pull it back and forth through the coil. As for the length I cut my wicks just long enough so that when primed with juice they just touch the build deck, kinda like a sixties Mexican moustache, and I dont tuck them into the juice channels
Just bear in mind all my attys are orchids with 4 juice channels so there's not a lot of chance of dry hits
If you get flooding you're not vaping quick enough
EDIT
I dont use ceramic wicks any more they're too inconsistent for my liking and you have to build the coil around them instead of vice versa
Cheers for that, will start trying to hunt down some rayon.

Going back to the S kit Terry.
Visually,because i haven't got a gauge,the centre post is drilled out approx a third more.
Looking at the two i wouldn't buy another because i think the original is very easy to drill out.Only advantage to the kit is the peek insulator.But if you're not going low ohms that doesn't matter.
I`m very happy as they come george, The two i have are 1.2 ohm, and are behaving impeccably. As i have said before, the draw is just how i like it, i even have my Lemo`s the same. So i may try a nickle build in one of my Lemo`s, and see how that works out, other than that, it will be drippers for the super sub ni builds.![]()

Thanks for the link Terry
Cellu cotton, no wonder I couldn't find it![]()

I've been looking at drippers this week.It would be the first i bought,if i could make a decision.
Don't want massive clouds but i would like great flavour.
Thinking about it, I reckon we're all a little nuts here, so probably a pre-requisite ....some are more nuts than others though!Trish,i am without doubt the craziest person you will ever have the misfortune to come across in your life.
I'm only going to be here the once so nuts is good for me.![]()

Tch! you'll have that guy chasing after you wagging a finger and telling you off! ...oh - it was you!I forgot to mention my "S" Kit arrived today
No excuse,i admit it, i have broken the![]()

Ooh!Final warning George![]()

I know - on both counts! When it arrived, the smell was lovely and I did hope I'd be able to use it - even a drop tasted good. Few days later, I tried using it and ...just about nothing! Do you think Ian can 'rescue' it?Bloody awful trishThe thing is, it smells lovely in the bottle, but is totally unvapeable.
I like the orange coated ones! ..not sure about that flavour in a liquid thoughIf you can just imagine tasting the coatings, that is what i get. It is quirky and nice![]()
I have a feeling most of them will need two rapid coats for the best result. I seem to remember one of the thicker 'one coat' ones being hard to apply because it was starting to dry before it levelled, so was quite uneven.The one I got was a Crown one. I've re-laid the carpet and vacuumed before hand, no sign of any peeling or scuffing - so that's a relief.
Just wasn't too happy about the way it went on. Even using a gloss roller and laying it on thick on the doors, I still had to do 2 coats. It dries really quick though, touch dry within about half an hour. Seems strange, when I go into the hallway, no lingering paint smell![]()
You haven't seen my stash of NT! There were some I really liked, and because most were the short run ones, I stockpiled them ..only to find that I can't tolerate that much PG even diluted with a Max VG.Bloody hell Dave, you'll have to slow down mate. You'll have as much juice as me soon![]()
Ghost in the machine!I can hear the music from the "Twilght Zone" in my head![]()

Don't forget, we were talking about being a glutton for punishment, as in excess hard work! Still, you got it done and still have some time off, so perhaps the sage would say something like 'hard work leaves time for relaxation'!Fill yer boots is what I say![]()
Don't know about Grants method ..perhaps they wanted some decent feedback & sales figures from the two shops stocking it. Perhaps it'll replace ABC eventually ...don't know.It's strange that they didn't release it sooner. Guess their doing a Grants - release it in small batches to specific areas only and watch it obtain legendary status![]()
I'm still trying to persuade myself into a painting smock ...lab coat is way down the line! I was thinking more of a few drops of vanilla tahity and the same of coconut cream - nothing more adventurous than that. I think it'll be a good one to add things like raspberry, strawberry or even chocolate to ..in fact, there's a lot would go with that for variation.Time to don the lab coat then Trisha.
I think all staircases are difficult/precarious to a degree.I think it's probably down to the twisting and turning on the ladders while painting the ceilings. My stairs are really awkward to paint, I have to move the ladders every couple of minutes to be able to reach all areas.
Aye ...go on then....I should be good at yoga now though![]()

Ten years? Let's hope I still have a memory by then, let alone remember that!I'll remember those for next time Trisha. You'll probably have to remind me though, can't see myself doing the painting marathon again for at least another 10 years![]()

Oh yes - got to keep up appearances!I'll still keep the unused set-ups in my stand - would look a bit odd with empty spaces.
Oh dear ...I can see the headlines now: 'Bus driver bans passengers on his bus'Had a phone call from the Union Rep at work today. Looks like I'll be going on "Core" rate in a week or so, which is good news. Extra money, better shifts and holidays. The only downside is, I'll be coming off the quiet routes and back on to the main busier routes, plus I'll be doing 10 hour duties. On the up-side better pay, holidays, less lates, no 12 hour split shifts. But best of all, every 4 weeks my long weekend (which is normally 4 days) will now become 6 days off.
In some ways I'm happy, but I'll miss all the OAPs![]()
Nite Nite!Time for a bit of TV, then bed for me.
see you all tomorrow.
The Great Panjandrum I had in mind was the creation of Samuel Foote:Er - OK then: Panjandrum, also known as The Great Panjandrum, was a massive, rocket-propelled, explosive-laden cart designed by the British military during World War II. It was one of a number of highly experimental projects, including Hajile and the Hedgehog, that were developed by the Admiralty's Directorate of Miscellaneous Weapons Development (DMWD) in the final years of the war. The Panjandrum was never used in battle.![]()
Absolutely delightful! I'm pretty sure I've heard that before, and it would be very typical of the sort of thing my Dad would read or recite to me!The Great Panjandrum I had in mind was the creation of Samuel Foote:
"So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage
leaf, to make an apple pie ; and at the same time a
great she-bear coming up the street, pops its head
into the shop. 'What ! no soap ?' So he died, and
she very imprudently married the barber ; and there
were present the Picninnies, and the Joblillies, and
the Garyulies, and the grand Panjandrum himself,
with the little round button at top ; and they all
fell to playing the game of catch as catch can,
till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their
boots."
Marvellous. )
I would say infinite, I have a couple and they're really good. Heard good things about ehpro, mixed thoughts on tobeco and can't recall hcigar.Well i've found a Dripper I like the look and sound of.And i've checked the reviews out.
It'll be a clone and the reviews don't compare the different makers.
So i have quite a choice in that regard to go for.....I'm swaying strongly towards one but wondering if it will make much difference.
Which is the best manufacturer to go for?
Infinate Tobeco EHPro HCigar
