Look at the hippo ring. That thing is pretty cool tho. Can open up air flow if the seal is too tight.

Is anybody still experimenting with that SS rope wick? Like to know how that turns out...
Another thing, been looking to get rebuildable supplies, but it's hard to find everything I want in one place. Shipping would break me from 3 or 4 different venders!
What I need:
1. 1 meter silica preferably 1mm
1a. 2 - ⅛ x 1 ft. silica sleeves (used to cover the end of SS mesh or SS rope/cable)
2. 2 meter 32g Kanthal A-1 wire
3. 1 sheet 223mm x 293mm (A4 paper size) SS mesh - should last quite a long time, eh?
4. 1 meter SS cable 1/8th or 7/64th" 7x7 316 (marine/surgical grade) (non-galvanized!!!) For S's & G's (experimenting)
Kidney Puncher had 1 - 4 on their site, but 1a and 3 were sold out.
Suggestions, advice, Good Samaritans welcome...

I have changed all of my aga to ss cable

I wrap just enough mesh around the top of the cable to make one wrap around with just a little overlap. And big enough that your coil will fit on the mesh. top to bottom. Then oxidize just like it were a roll of mesh. I usually do it 3 times. I use 3/4 wrap of 28 gauge on a mech.

Do you oxidize the cable before you wrap it with mesh, or do you do the whole thing as one? I'll try this tonight for sure.
I just do it all at once but I don't think it would matter one way or the other

X lemme know how that works out for ya. I would be interested in this if its an easy set up. I have 3 ceramic wicks in there I haven't used yet. I should be getting the 2 T2's in the next few days. The one I have I may have a trade set up.

Will do. It will be tomorrow most likely. I was interested in the ceramic thing too but I see how fragile and expensive the wicks are and doubts set in. That and it seems like you need to drill out the wick hole pretty big to accommodate a sturdy wick. You can't undo that. I think the steel cable with a Nextel ceramic fiber sleeve might be a good thing. I bet the next thing will be fiber-optic cable.

If it turned into fiber I would be good. Would just have to raid our head end. Yeah that's why I am a bit hesitant until I get my permanent aga's. fraid of breaking em. I did see a method using heat to wrap the coil onto the ceramic. Heating while wrapping. I will take a day when I get everything and try out a bunch of stuff. Also wanna check out the ribbon kanthal.

Head end? For what company if you don't mind me asking? I worked for Comcast as a fiber tech for five years it was a cool job.

X...hows that modified VAMO working for you?
I'm vaping on it right now. I use it for my dripper RBAs. It's awesome. So nice to have a Vamo in 18650 mode at only 3 inches proud.
Do you find after using a Vivi with the NET's for a few days, and topping up juice levels when they get low, that the juice gets really dark and dank at the bottom? I had to clean out the last 25% or so of what was left in the Vivi because it was almost bitter and unvapable.
Can't say I've noticed this with the carto tanks or the T3's but that could be due to them feeding from the bottom.

That happens with NETs. Basically, particulate matter (tobacco) is becoming toasted near the coil and traveling back down to the juice. The organic material suspended in the liquid becomes sedimentary and will travel downward and darken the juice. It happens with heavily sweetened and and dark juices too. Natural vanilla, coffee, and NETs do it the most in my experience. Happens in my gennys.
I've taken df from a vivi and put it back in the bottle. Bottle is now black where as df is usually still pretty light. Still vapable right?

The flavor becomes more pronounced at the end of a fill and I like it. X may be right. I've heard that the PG burns faster than the VG due to the thinner viscosity and ease of wicking. By the time you get to the bottom of the tank, you're mostly left with VG. How that makes it darker I am not sure unless X has pinpointed it (I know VG juices turn dark faster than PG juices as they age). Never bothered me and as I say, it sharpens the flavor. I can run a good 10 - 15 mls in a Nova before I clean/dry burn them. Some go darker than others.
