Got my DV mail this morning (very quick ship, thanks Eric!).
I was hesitant to buy this item because of the SS wick, but I did want to see what all the fuss was about.
Let me first state that my only coil/wicking experience came when I bought a Vision Eternity. Both units I got leaked badly due to poor contruction, but that's another story. I wrapped one coil with silica wick, and it worked just fine before I returned the units. That's my sole experience with rebuilding.
I initially tried building it with silica wick. It worked OK, but didn't wick as well as I liked. So I figured I'd try doing the SS mesh.
Let me say that my initial reluctance to try this was totally unfounded. I watched one video online, and then proceded to roll the SS. I got a really tight wick without using a paper clip, just the mesh. I then grabbed the wife's pastry torch, and heated the wick to glowing, then quenching, a total of 5 times. I then did 5 burns and quenches using juice, making sure the wick glowed heavily. As a note, if you're getting the SS mesh hot enough, it will whistle as you quench it.
Not having any rolling papers handy, I decided to try winding the coil straight on the mesh.
2.2 ohms, no hotspots, no shorts. I believe it needs a decent breakin period, like at least one tankful. I'm not getting dry hits, and there's no juice burning either. If it gets better than it is now, I'm going to be thrilled. In fact, vapor production is getting better, and flavor is improving even as I type this.
Wow, I do have to say this was really easy, even for a novice to rebuildables. I'd have no problems making more wicks, and making a coil for this thing is much easier than working with silica.
Heck, I might even try a SS wick for the Wyvern too.
