I got the wick to fit. Onto oxidation... how does it look? What should I do to improve it? I torched it a couple times and did a juice burn a couple times.
How Does This Oxidation Look?

I burn it till it's black. Then I burn it some more. I never do juice burns though. I just don't see the need to.
I'm doing strictly the opposite. I only juice burn. I don't see the need to scorch it.
The way I see it, the only real oxidation needed is directly between the coil and wick. As long as the coil don't conduct electricity to the wick, there is no need for any more insulation/oxidation. The little juice burning I do is mainly to get rid of finger grease from rolling, and to make the initial pulsing a little bit easier on the battery.

Edit: I believe different amount of pre-oxidation is needed for regulated or mech devices. With a mech, you can pulse easier on a wick with less oxidation. Do make sure a good battery is used tho... the resistance of the assembly can be very low before a layer of insulation is built.

Once you use a wick, be it mesh or cable, with one flavor, do you have to make another one of you change flavors?

I do the opposite. I don't torch at all. I roll up the mesh, wrap the coil, and pulse it.
nope the old flavor burns off pretty quick. but the first few puffs will taste odd/mixed
There are some flavors that will linger longer than others. But generally, if you do a dry burn before changing flavors, the old flavor will go away pretty quickly.
unless its cinnamon, F i hate cinnamon! bought a used DID and had to boil it 4 different times to kill it.
Great thanks guys, didn't mean to hijack the thread.
