Why I had 2 of my AGA-T2s drilled to 9/64. The travel on the outside, being unrestricted by pores, detours, winds, etc., has to be much faster. juice climbing up the outside of other juice like a tsunami rolls over itself, and explains why short wicks work equally well providing liquid contact exists and why I can chain-vape a full tank in 1 shot on a ceramic wick -- the reload-flood is lighting fast. I'm about a couple days away from butchering up a Topfin. Although the wickhole on my third AGA is 4mm, the wick will not exceed 3.7mm, half a millimeter wider than 1/8. But I'm sure all that goes for any wick, and the prime principles they operate on, ceramic just much faster.
Edit: Change 9/16 or 9/64

Just venting......
My 3/32 wick is changing my juice color for some reason, I must have a wrap that is acting up. I hate to re-wrap.....but on a side note I just got some more in the mail.
I haven't heard of anyone else having this problem.....hmmmmm

Thats quite nice indeed and with a short wick, maybe try the SS-L-Wick extender ??
See I knew someone would know about this first hand, thanks for the info that re-confirms what I have read, I definitely will keep it wet and have water flowing so its clean as I holesaw my stix at the initial stage. Do you think it will leave me a rod like it does with marble using the 8mm holesaw?
As SteveW said below your experience also confirms the need to have a "wiggle" amount of room. Man I love this forum, you guys are unreal! Look at how far weve come along with all of this and how much better we are perfecting the technique.
Yes indeed you said this from early on in the piece and we were debating the space, mine wiggles a little but not a great deal, I need to make it larger thats for sure, just looking at the way the juice gets dragged up the side of the tank and the center post either side of the wick proves this indeed, and everyones experience with flavor it's obvious that a loose fit is the best fit allowing as you described for juice to flow up the outside as well.
A terrific group of people here all making input even if its to say whats experienced, this is great, Im enjoying this so much...

well... not with standard dremel cutting discs it doesnt. wet, dry, slow, fast, still hard. little easier wet, but not much. im gonna go and assume diamond discs make a huge difference. scuba dan's video, he goes through it with ease.
i got both the sides off, but when i went to make a straight line, i coudnt even get a starter line straight. things dancing all around, making a bad line. off hand, anyone know where he got that huge diamond disc?
heres my stone and the bad line cut i started. after that wasted another cutting disc, i stopped. oh... and that stone was soaking for 10 minutes.

guys the fishstix material is nothing like marble counter tops, it doesn't require running water. Besides, if you soak it 30mn in water you will get more or less the same effect as running water because of the water retention of the bubble stone. Another advice I could give is not to go about it with an angle grinder/diamond disc set. I tried! it a tiny 2" tube! The thinnest disc is too thick and you don't have enough stability to perform a precise cut with that kind of hardware. I have lost a lot of material on my first cut. I just ordered a Dremel diamond disc, I'll personally resume my cutting only when I get it.
moral of the story: scuba bible, chapter: Fishstix, verse: scuba's vid fishstix 101, its all already been said and done...(and he added a footnote to wet the stone). Amen.

I don't recall whether someone posted this link, or if I stumbled onto it, but these are 40mm wide plus have a good number of 1/8 holes in them to "fine tune" the finished wicks. I drilled one out to 5/32 to make a few nice looking wicks. Really works well. I'm having a bad memory day. Can't recall who found that trick, but kudos.

Does it surprise anyone that Dan probably has mutliples of everything in his shop. But this is the post where he linked to 'that' one.

Hey D, are you getting any " off " flavors w/fishstix?
from my experience, it's a lot easier to mess or miss the EHW on a home made fishstick because the finish is smoother. So yes I've had " off " flavors problems with these because of that... At first I thought it was the stone, but the ones that I've coiled correctly have nothing to envy the fc2000...

Here is the cut off wheel I ordered. Maybe one day soon I'll get off of my lazy butte and make some wicks.
