Hey guys, I picked up a fish stick at pet smart and I cut it with a cut off wheel, I cannot find a griding wheel and its 830 HW store isn't opened. But anyways, has anyone here hand sanded the stick without a grinding wheel? Dumb question but I want to get this vapin tonight! Any tips would be wonderful. Thanks

Should be possible but a lot of work. Usually the hand sanding is only done for finishing touches. If you are going from the triangular blunt to the round wick by hand, that is a lot of material to remove. If you keen enough I guess you have a project for the day.
Sanding didn't work for me, cause the stone sanded the sandpaper more than visey-versey. I think the quickest acting abrasive you might have on hand is another piece of the stone. ( the inside tube of an opened up section oughta work great for final shaping of cylinder). A ....... file works so-so, but dulls pretty quickly.
I wanted to show you something. Who does this resemble? (given equipment limitations and whatnot)
hold it with with a vise grip and use the side of the wheel you used to cut it with then just cut off the part you gripped on....or move onto another project....lol
No, beanpusher. Definitley not. I bought the wrong kind at first, and it was a stinking mess of chemical goo under the torch. I'll get you the specs in a minute.
I'm showing you because I'm loving it! It's actually crossed my mind that this is the default setup for dripping my igo. Only thing is, the wide shallow platform and having to tilt away from airholes requires a bit of attentiveness to avoid a dry hit.
So the stone is from PetSmart. It is a TopFin Airstone. Shoot what's the SKU#? It's 6" long and about 1" diameter, and yes its blue/dark gray. Here it is # 3725702195
I was thinking about that... What about using a wick that covers more of the base?
I was thinking about a blank that starts out looking something like this...
The notch on the side clears the neg post and the piece sticking up would be shaped to be wrapped w the coil...
Or just wrap a square coil. (duh) ←(that's for me. It took me a few minutes to connect the dots)

Sorry... Ya gotta forgive the crappy artwork.
It was easier to draw a roughed out blank than a finished, fully shaped, product. Lol

Yeah, but wrapping a square coil would be much easier than finagling that little stone column on top of a 2mm thick base.
Lol. When did "easier" become a part of your vocabulary?
