I'm still building silica wicks. Don't worry guys I got some ss mesh from eBay in to try soon. Anyway with my silica wicks I always wondered what is best when it comes to wrapping. Where as, how much tension do you want with your wick against the coil? I know the wick had to be touching the coil but how much tension is best in your guys opinionn?
Should if be really loose or should there be alot of tension when pulling from side to side or somewhere in between? When I do mine there is some tension but hardly any. I figure that the silica expands when it's full of juice so there should be a decent amount of play with the wick. Just curious how much it expands. Where as if it's really loose but still touching I'll get more vapor or flavor. If it's a little too tight it'll choke the wick.
Thanks guys. Sorry for rambling lol.
