Yeah I saw some for $8 on ebay and I almost got it. Mine came to $10.80 and was shipped with the wick. I got the 100 feet of wick and wire for $42.25 total. I couldn't remember my ebay login and I'll pay a little more for convenience. I'm tired. LOL!

So if I use 3 inches of each per coil and I use one coil per week (rounding up for shiggles), this will last me almost 8 years!!! I was buying the Vivi coils for $2.80 each thereabouts, and my homemade coils will be 10.6 cents each. Not too shabby! Of course I'll probably get vape happy so just round down to this lasting me 5 years...still a great deal.

The House of Vapor has a 10% code vf...but it only applied to my wire and not the wick which sucked.

It personally feels good to be stocked up.

Yep, it does feel good to stock up . I am stocked up on everything now except ss mesh. Know where to get it in bulk ?

I haven't done the mesh yet...give me time. So I have no clue. Try The House of Vapor...it seems I saw some there and they sold the wick and wire by the foot. I never thought I'd be into rebuilding and all the different equipment, but I'm getting sucked in slowly. ;)

I'm here. Dealing with "stuff" in the real world. Nothing bad, just busy. One distraction is my new smartphone landed yesterday. Nexus 4. Smart phone makes for a dumb user. I used to root and mod the heck out of Android devices but time and tech has surpassed me. I have to relearn a lot of stuff just to make a phone call. I'll make some noise soon enough.

I can't believe it! I just ordered 25' of SS 316 Wire Rope, 7x7 Strand Core, 0.094" from Amazon.com - for the cost of shipping and import fees I could have bought another 100' of cable!!! First and last time I order from Amazon!

Item price: $12.90
shipping: $38.25
Import Fee $18.86

Total: $70.01


With 25 ft. of cable, I can cut approximately 171 wicks. How long do SS cable wicks last? If I use one a month that's what, 14 years and 3 months? Should be more than enough cable. :laugh: bhuahahaha

I also got 9 ft. of kanthal 32g, 9 ft. of 1.5 silica wick and 2 12x12 sheets of SS mesh 500 (this order was a lot cheaper)

$46.23 including $5 for shipping

Hey Chak send me that link for that cable. I bought 2' the other day to give it a chance. Buuuuut I got 1/8. Wah Wah was gonna bore out the wick hole a wee bit more but I can't. Looks like if I do I'll start running into things that I don't want to run into. Soooo need that link sir. Thx

LOL! My 100 feet of wick and wire is OUT FOR DELIVERY and will last me probably 7-8 years!!!! :blink: But I'll be ready for anything...for a long long time. I love vape mail. And I love stocking up. Just feels.....peaceful. And hopefully I won't have to keep ordering and ordering and ordering. Credit card needs a timeout.

I bought a 12x12 sheet of mesh for $10. That's roughly 108 wicks. At a conservative estimate of each wick lasting a month, I'm not sure why I'd need more than that at a time. I guess you guys are anticipating the zombie apocalypse?

How much ss do you use per wick ? I am guessing with the number you posted, just over an inch ?
