Iatty

[imeothanasis]

google didnt translate it at all because it was a large document Gream lol

Does it says something more about any other difference like health issues?

 

[Dream]

It seems that the health & safety section doesn't really differentiate between Nextel 316 and 440. But all the sections are available as separate pdf's, so you don't have to feel like you're opening up a book.

 

[Dream]

It seems, though, that 440 can survive thermal and chemical abuse a bit better.. I want to know what Rick and Zoranth think about the 440 specifications. Maybe LordEros33 should read it too.. but after he bought 100 yards of 316, i doubt he'll want to read about 440 ;P

 

[imeothanasis]

Tkank you very much Dream. And also thank you very much for sending me some of the one you bought. I will have 2 kinds or wick to test. You are a hell of a good guy buddy!

 

[dspin]

Yes, they will be SS

These are going to be the SS model of GGTS?

A little trick I found today...

If you need to unscrew the cone a bit to avoid dry vapor, lift and rotate/wobble the Cone with your fingers and it should dislodge with a bit of effort. As Imeo mentioned, avoid using tools as it may damage the plastic threads.

Nice trick K2

We will not damage the plastic, we will just unscrew it so we will lose contact with the wire. Plastics will not get affected by screwing unscrewing the cone, no worries.

Thanks

I read in another thread that you don't recommend using pliers to turn the cone since it can damage the plastic. Is this correct?

Sometimes the cone can be very hard to move and I end up having to partially dismantle the iAtty to get a good grip on the cone.

 

[imeothanasis]

no damage to the plastic will occure K2. But using pliers means that cone is so tight on the plastic that you will inscrew the plastic together with the cone and you will lose contacts with the wires

Thats why we dont totally screw the cone. Leave 1/8 of a full close position. Or totally close it and then go back about 1/8 of a turn so it will never stuck on plastic

 

[K24A3]

I see, so it's ok to use pliers to unscrew the cone if it is too tight. But not ok to use pliers to screw the cone in.

When my cone is already unscrewed say 1mm, sometimes it gets stuck and I cannot unscrew it further. Maybe a bit of the wick got caught in the threads. I'll have a good look next time I open it.

 

[imeothanasis]

exactly as you said K2

Also if cone is stuck but plastics are screwed well then you can use pliers to unscrew the cone, no problem. You will not lose contact with the wires.

atavanhalen, i just checked, actually there is no savings... it's a flat rate of $1.50/ft for the XC-116 (Nextel 312) and $3/ft for the XC4-116 (Nextel 440).

My mistake, I thought you were talking about the original fiberglass wick from wickstore.com. Can you repost the link to the stuff you are talking about?

Just a tip for all GG owners and it applies here -- get one of those jar-loosening rubber things, cut it in half, and you can open 99% of all stuck GG stuff. Its what works for me and has since the frist time I couldn't get an AVS disassembled in the kitchen 8 months ago!!!

Thats a really good idea, I think dollar tree has em, can beat that for 50cents(split it with your friend lol)

The NEXEL Alumina-Bora-Silica fibers are by far superior to the fiberglass wick, but you need to remember that those are braided ceramic sleeving and teh size measurements are I.D, not O.D. The fiberglass wick we are using will actually fit INSIDE of the XC4-116 sleeve. With a wall thickness of .074" it will be about 1/8" OD and will be far too big to use without somehow eliminating the internal hole.

I do know for a fact that they do not burn except at much higher temps that we typically generate at our coils and the the wicking performance of that material is excellent. We'd need to find some in a 1/16" braided cord or rope though. It may still work....I have not tried it in iAtty yet.

It all depends on how well it will handle stretching to eliminate it's internal cavity. I know it has good tensile strength, but I also know that once cut it frays out to separate fibers very easily and quickly.

I thought someone has already tried this, am I mistaken about that? Its too bad the smallest diameter rope they make is 1/8

 

[lorderos33]

Wow, that is a bunch, I hope it has a long shelf life. I ordered 10 ft. Even is I use 2 inches per coil that's 60 coils. Considering I purchased atties at 5 to 10 depending on whether I was restocking or just trying some thing out. 100 yards is 300 feet or 1800 2 inch wicks. I'm not ranting on you just fascinated by the massive amount of wicking material 100 yards can actually produce.

I know . I share with friends when they come to visit. They share with me when I visit them. We like to have more than needed on hand so as to not run out of any given material.

You can check on the use of this as wicking material in this thread:

I just now read that its a sleeve. I missed that part. Jonah, how did you get able to use it with Iatty? When you push this sleeve it becomes thin enough to fit inside the slots of the plastic?
