iAtty wick arrangement

[Ariel_MX]

This how I've been arranging the wicks on the iAtty lately:

(please excuse the bad quality pictures)

It is a simple single coil build with two strands of 1.5mm wick (maybe 2mm wick could work better), I used to cut the ends of one of wicks at the top of the ceramic channels in order to have doubled wick at top, and the other wick going down through the delrin channels.

As you can see, now I do not cut the "extra" wick: I wrap the ends of the lower wick around the ceramic cup, while the upper wick goes down through the channels, keeping the other wick in place at the same time.

(The idea is that the wick around the ceramic should cover the little gaps on the delrin channels.)

This helps to prevent flooding in case of overfilling the tank and helps to maintain the coil moisturized.

Of course, you could accommodate both strands through the delrin channels, but what I have experimented is that if there is much wick stuck in, it affects the flow of liquid to the coil and the air to flow into the tank.

Just wanted to share this method, it could help to new iAtty users.

Great method Ariel. This is what I used to do when I used silica. But with cotton I'm still experimenting.

Thank you Ariel! Maybe this will give my temperamental iAtty new life!

Thanks aalwani

My iAttys had fallen in oblivion, I did not remember how good they are (Ithaka's fault, Odysseus and Penelopes), as I got a new iAtty (ESG edition) and it looks gorgeous on the Esterigon, I started experiment with them.

Sometimes the iAtty could get a little tricky to setup, if there is much tension on the NR wire it chokes the wick.

The wick should comfortably fit inside the ceramic cup channels, if it is too thick there will be wicking problems...

But when you find the perfect setup, iAtty still being the king !

That was the word I was looking for ! iAtty likes to be temperamental

it does provide a vape unique to all other GG attys when it's cooperating though. It's a finer, silkier vapor to me. And superb flavor.

Gotta get mine out now and try this

I think I'm going to have to try a micro with cotton. My setup from last night is working okay but I guess I've gotten too used to cotton.
Ariel's wrap method does seem to tame iAtty though so that's very encouraging. Please let us know how your experiments turn out.

Thank you Ariel! My iAtty was easy to set up-until it wasn't. Last 3 times sucked. I tried yours earlier today and working like a champion! Never thought to curl top wick. I'll let you know in a couple of days but so far it's great.

A big THANK YOU, Ariel.
I tried your way to wick the Iatty, and what can i say.
After a lot of trials it vapes really well now.

When I get my ready wires in on Thursday, I am going to try Ariel's method too!

 

[Ariel_MX]

It is so simple but it works

Loving my iatty! So glad I finally got around to setting it up. Thanks for sharing your method Ariel! It looks fantastic on Esterigon, and I love the distinctive flavor, and smooth draw/vapor! Great Atty!

If you like I can share with you my way of adding more coils. Mmm for another Bang Mmm.

We will be very pleased Bishop !

Like Ariel says, it´s always a pleasure to get new ideas.
So let us know...

 

[jjkanto]

Tell us how Bish!

iAtty is such a unique device and one of my favorite atomizers. Every time I vape it I think of Manos since he was the one that introduced me to it.

I will be cleaning out my Iattys and will be creating some new videos on how I enjoy my iatty. I do make several builds but I'll show a few...

Make a coil ( with Ti ready wire - 1.0 ohm ) , on mini iAtty like Ariel says. Love that . No dry hit , very much flavour . Thanks Ariel
