lol---you had been placed in charge...you must have not got the memo...or obviously you did : 0
Just make sure Turbo has (1) box of Vortex cartos and (1) box of XL steel, new wick CE2's, 2.8-3ohms! I'm waiting on the same as 'br', for both to come in.
My 2 cents on the new thicker wicks is that there MAY be a bit more wick material here, but it certainly looks exactly like the old wick material braided together. Here's a picture I took this morning as I was untwisting the braid with my fingers to inspect it. I think it may be the braid itself that has really solved the wicking problem...
You are welcome - tis no trouble as I am quite interested myself, just hadn't gotten very scientific about it yet. I actually ended up vaping 2 of them dry yesterday, a tobacco juice in addition to my menthol. Same story, no issues.
I've been wondering about the same thing. That's why I want to try this new wick in my mods. For quite some time now, I have been tying the three strands together, which seems to work better. Look at the ones in the following photo. You will see a black thread near the ends.
Also, notice that the strands are clinging to the wall of the tube. When the liquid level is low enough, additional juice can be seen between the strands and the tube walls. I believe this adds to the capillary action, especially if the strands go straight down the walls from the slot in the cup to the bottom of the tank.
In the case of this particular mod, the action is too much. It wicks very well when vaping back to back, but if the device is left standing upright for an extended time, the tank will empty out through the air intake and flood my desktop. A few people have said that this is impossible, but I've had it happen so many times that there is no doubt about the fact.
These anecdotes confirm my primitive braiding experiment(s) results (back when bad's big E2 thread was still 'warm')... and I assume that the current twisted-string-type structure will function better than my braids. Waiting for the Vision rev to place an order to compare...

Yep I see them - I agree that what you've observed on that mod is possible, why wouldn't it be? Capillary action defeats gravity but when there is no further to wick and you don't vaporize, gravity will win and liquid will drip down the air tube. I think that if the top and bottom were capped while the mod was left standing this would be much less likely.
Heck. This may make me sound old, which I am, but I remember when thicker wicks were brought up in the the Big thread Before Bad's.
The thick wick is a major design improvement. Now if MiT had only thought to enlarge the cup seal slots while they were at it, well, that would have been nice.
It may be slow, but we are moving towards an working Out-of-the-Box carto. Now if MiT can only hold off on the E3's until the E2's are fixed we'ed have something to vape.

'bout time, heheh. I'm gonna wait until the other stuff gets there before I order.
As expected,......all are out of stock.......I've given up on ordering anything. Maybe the classifieds?
Unfortunately this is the way of things. If you wait too long they sell out VERY fast. I try to get in the day of or the day after restock.
I’m with you Br5495, having good time with the high ohm clear tube fat wicks [except their clear tubes of course] and you need to try them, not going to wick better than your modified wicks IMHO but these fat wicks may work as good without any wick work. Working out for me to being great wicking E2’s that needs to be remounted in cut 3 ml syringe tubes, saves spinning the old tubing cutter.
Thanks for the info Charlie. I'm hoping the fat wicks will work as well as my old ones. Surely they will mean less work for my mods if they do. Maybe I'll be able to make one in two days instead of three, heheh.
br you are truly an inspiration to those of us that wish we had the time and tools to mod like you. How about sending a mini hobby lathe my way? lol
Thanks for the compliment, Nav. These things I make may not work so well for someone else, so it might be a waste of their time to make one.
I had to wait for someone to send me a hobby lathe, so you'll have to wait for someone else to send you one, heheh.
