Just Gonna Leave This Here..SS Wick MicroCoil Rm2

[EddieAdams]

vape is pretty good. 28gauge, 1/16ID,whatever number wraps(see pic),1.0ohms, 400 mesh solid "hole-less"roll..

Just can't give up my mesh...I try and try..

but can you vape it ??

 

[Matthee]

I like that, Eddie, but know nothing about SS. So, what is "solid role", how long does such a wick last, do you need to prepare the SS, how do you get the SS wick into the coil, etcetera. Am afraid, you can't just leave it here - a step by step picture tutorial is the standard here, specially for us untechs.

 

[EddieAdams]

I take that back. vape and taste is second to none.. Literally finished and posted. Wick"broke-in" , just dripped some Casa on it and WOW! What taste! Never cared about vapor production though it is producing a plenty...

Yes. Why couldn't you?

I would start with a"genisis" style RBA like a aga-t2. I'm happy to help you along in that setup as well as this one. What I mean by solid ROLL is no sign of a hole in the center of the rolled SS mesh. A good SS wick will last months. Though it's not my daily device I've had the same wick and coil in my aga-t 2 for months now. Rinse and dry burn every few tanks and almost good as new...

Thanks Eddie, I only have RM2s so will have to try on them. Even if you could just point me to a thread or two that give basics on SS wicks will be helpful. I love the idea of "months"!

 

[EddieAdams]

A genisis style is just a good start matthee. Easier to learn and understand SS wick and coils and then end up here. I just don't want to be responsible for you possibly ruining a device or worse injuring yourself. It's" jumping right in the deep end of the pool" without knowing how to swim. I'll post a tutorial and when you get that aga-t let me know and I'll help you get that setup.

 

[EddieAdams]

Alright, I'll post a how to. sign waiver here X______________
Do you have a torch, 400SS mesh, knowledge of micro coils, good scissors, a meter or mod with built in meter, ?... anything I'm forgetting...

If you have that stuff then we're good to go..

 

[EddieAdams]

Thanks for the "likes" super. Used your recommendations from your tutorials on micro coils. Just wasn't content with " natural" wick or silica...

Matthee sign the waiver, go over checklist and as soon as I have time I'll post a step by step. Off to Brooklyn today then I have a game tonight...

Oh...you meant solid "roll". Now I get it. That kinda confused me too.

 

[EddieAdams]

Yeah, sorry about that. Making a" solid" wick isn't that big of a deal here in the rm2 or any non-genny style rba where the wick isn't submerged in a tank and the conduit for air exchange. When someone needs to leave the" fill screw" out on their genisis it's because they have a poor wick...

Thanks for that. Swype auto correct gets the better of me sometimes

Ok, Eddie, consider your waiver signed. I have a good torch, been building micros for some time, have good scissors, a Vamo 3 (used only to read resistance and batteries) and a reasonable amount of common sense. SS mesh is on order. So, you can go with the tutorial when you have the time. Thanks, much appreciated.

 

[EddieAdams]

Awesome. I'll try to be very thorough.

I'm still laughing at myself for the "role" thing...I even read mathees responses and saw nothing wrong with it... need more caffeine...

lol I even responded with "role" again!

it's in print forever...

 

[super_X_drifter]

Glad to have your insight and contributions over here Eddie. How ya likin your grand bro ?

Pshaw...been there done that. I always manage to catch my typos AFTER I've posted. Used "hear" the other day four times in a post except I meant "here"...doh!

I've still got most of a 12x12 inch sheet of 500 left over from my genny days...might give it a whirl.

The last mesh wick I made was too long, and being me I kept the part I snipped off to put into an RDA someday since it seemed the perfect size. I just hadn't gotten around to it yet, but it is ready and waiting. I still want to try the ekowool I bought first, I think just plain and then maybe as a sleeve.

At least now I know it can be done (which I was pretty sure of anyway, but glad you hit the deep end of the pool first)

 

[EddieAdams]

On my next I may try 5/64. Would that still be considered a micro coil? Or is it just the style of coil, grouped with more than normal wraps?

I'm liking it a lot super. Giving it a 3 week evaluation. Pretending it's my only mod. There's things I really like and things I really don't but, you're just not going to beat the reliability factor which we all know as vapers is huge..

 

[EddieAdams]

If any of the veterans try before I post my tutorial just remember the oxidation adds a good layer and thickens up the wick quite a bit... pre oxidation the wick should slide into the coil rather freely...$0.02

 

[super_X_drifter]

5/64 is just outside micro range but it's all good
