where would we get extra mesh,wire and wicking material when it needs to be changed will u have that info for us as well when the ordering closes ? Thanks for answering

I can provide it now... The SS mesh is the wicking material, and you can get it from The Mesh Company: Online Shop for Woven, Knitted and Perforated Mesh for Art, Craft, Floristry, Modelling and Engineering 400 SS mesh

The A-1 32ga Kanthal can be gotten here: Resistance heating wire, Kanthal A-1 32 awg 75ft | eBay

This and instructions how to change it, will an avg. vaper be able to do it?

I will be working on a tutorial for build up, teardown and wick assebly during the part making process.

Dan, are the threads for the cover that has the drip tip and the cover that goes over the heating coil the same?

Robert

ETA: I assume they are but I thought I'd check. Thanks!

I was told to post this here so if anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Accidently posted it in the classified section.

Reading this thread has me intrigued, I am new to vaping but am looking for an improvement on my eGo-T. Is there anywhere that I could get more information about this, or could someone give me a basic idea of what this is? I have no idea what a rebuildable atomizer is so this is why I ask. I would be in for one if it is not to late but would like a little more info if possible. Thanks.

A replaceable coil is just that, rather than use a atty/carto ect and throw them away or have a box full of dead ones you simpley unscrew two screws and remove the heating wire (kanthal). It cost about 0.01 cent to replace as you can get 75' of 32 AWG Kantahl on ebay for 4.50. So in 75' if you use 1.5" per coil you will be able to make 600 coils for 4.50, 600 attys say at 5.95 a piece is 3570.00.

Pic of replacable coil on the G-Tank-US, the wick is 400 weave stainless steel (center piece sticking up) that has been heat treated (oxidized) so it does not conduct electricity. Also there is no batting material, so the taste is CLEAN!


Hope this answers you Q, if you have anymore post them

SS Mesh is also available in the USA from McMaster-Carr.

85385T885 Corrosion-Resistant Type 304 SS Wire Cloth 400 X 400 Mesh, .001" Wire Dia, 12" X 12" Sheet 20.58 each

85385T883 Corrosion-Resistant Type 304 SS Wire Cloth 325 X 325 Mesh, .0014" Wire Dia, 12" X 12" Sheet $13.39 each

When I purchase from McMaster-Carr my items arrive the next day, as they have warehouses all over the US. The shipping is normally <$5.00 and you will have to pay local taxes with your online order if applicable.



ETA:

These sheets are larger than the A4 sheets that The Mesh Co sells. However, McMaster-Carr doesn't give you any free sheets of Superfine Mesh.

Dan with the picture I can actually see how this works, now how does the tank come into play? And would this system work on my regular ego batter?

 

[bp400]

When the kanthal is replaced, will we need to oxidize it?

 

[ainako]

When the kanthal is replaced, will we need to oxidize it?

just the mesh, and once you get a good mesh wick going it doesn't really need replacing

The tank fits over the top of the wick upside down.

Yes, it will work on an eGo battery, just don't use too low of an Ohm coil.

Sorry ahead of time for the loooooooooooooooooooong post....

Well I stumbled around and found a better looking price chart based on Quantity ordered.

I guess someone didn't think mine was pretty enough LOL, just messin.

Anyhow, hopefully the pictures will line up and look ok

For those of you reading this via TapaTalk, for some reason it breaks up the pictures separately so when you are looking at the other 5 pics, you won't see the top heading listing what's what, just as an FYI:

From what I can tell the column headings are pretty self-explanatory (Qty = Quantity, DT = Dripper Top, etc.) and similar to what I originally posted, just abbreviated. I'll also update my original post replacing mine with this

I did notice that for some reason the pattern of blue shading isn't consistent with the quantity of 6 LOL sorry OCD kicked in.

Hope this helps:

Need to find a couple of forum members nearby to pitch in and help out. If I was closer I would volunteer myself.

This co-op has the potential to become more of a monster than it currently is, which I am all for if help could be found...

Plus Ed needs more work to satisfy his OCD...

Problem is each bottom unit consist of 4 different parts, So I would have to calculate how much it would cost and then have to track them seperatly like the DT, and that can get confusing real quick. Not to mention each bottom piece I planned on pressing the ezloc fastener into, so this would really increase my work load.

 

[bstedh]

Need to find someone with the ability to setup an order web page with shopping cart for future co-op's.
