Also just thinking about re-wrapping wicks, maybe some of the vets can advise...my success rate on new coil/new wick is pretty good right out of the gate...however it seems when I re-wrap on a seasoned wick my success rate just tanks and it's short city (I just give them a light brush with an old tooth brush)...any tips on what I may be doing wrong? what I should be doing?
I very rarely re-wick because my Kanthal has never burnt out. It only breaks after I fiddle with it too much after a lot of use and by that time it's time for a new wick. But on the occasional refill I will dry burn the wick until the crusty stuff on the coil turns white, then lightly brush it with a tooth brush. This returns the flavor with less shorting issues.Also just thinking about re-wrapping wicks, maybe some of the vets can advise...my success rate on new coil/new wick is pretty good right out of the gate...however it seems when I re-wrap on a seasoned wick my success rate just tanks and it's short city (I just give them a light brush with an old tooth brush)...any tips on what I may be doing wrong? what I should be doing?
First off, thanks for everything. The GTUS is a thing of beauty no doubt. Rocking it ghost protocol style. Not sure if this has been mentioned but the top of a Vision Stone makes a damn fine top for the GP.
After several ss wicks that appeared to be perfect, solids and straws, I just couldn't like it. I taste a hint of metal and the wick can't keep up with my chain vaping. I have had success with a cotton wick so I tried that. The cotton wick kicks the crap out of ss imo. Since it is flexible I was able to shape it so the nichrome would be as close to the screws as possible and out toward the intake air hole. If you're having problems with the ss or just aren't happy with it give the cotton a try.

woot went green...the vision stone...i take it u just take it apart and use the top/tank part of it?
I'm guessing he used the Stone tank cap on a section of polycarbonate tubing cut to the length desired.
That link says the Stone Tank is 13mm OD, but that sure doesn't look right compared to the 510 threading in the pics.
Update:
Ok this is now the current list, I have 46 more boxes to go... whew, will be doing more assembly and boxing tonight!
