mesh and wick

[sola91]

can we combine the use of wick and mesh? Just roll the wick with ss mesh at the coil part. Havent done it.

 

[JUDGMENT AFFIRMED]

Hi sola91
Sure, In fact I am doing that at this very moment. Can't really say if it is doing anything to make it worthwhile. Good luck to you

people have been combining silica/cotton wick with stainless mesh for quite some time now, I still need to try it, roll a small piece of mesh around the wick where the khantal wire is, could be interesting

 

[Kris Bury]

Absolutely, wicks better than just mesh

You can do the same thing with stainless steel rope (cable)

use SS rope cable instead of cotton wick ?

SS wire rope works, I still have to tilt to keep coil wet with juice. It does however get the juice to the coil very very fast when tilting. Many vendors are starting to sell the wire in their rebuildable sections.

Anybody have pics of said setup?

wow that looks really interesting to try, you think it can work in a RBA without a tank? Like a Phoenix, IGO-L, Vision eternity or something like that?

Where do you get your cable ? Any interesting thread on how to set this thing ?

 

[Aubie80]

Im not sure how well it would work in a dripper, I dont know how much juice the wick actually holds compared to cotton,silica, or braided ceramic sleeving and ekowool. You still need to use mesh or ceramic sleeving around the cable before you wrap the wick to prevent hot spots, the cable is not round. The cable I have is 7x7 meaning its 7 strands in each bundle the 7 bundle braided together.

Here is where I got all my info from http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/rebuildable-atomizer-systems/375999-wire-rope-wick.html

Quick Question: What are the consequences of not removing the Nylon thread contained in the center section of many types of Stainless Steel Cables? I am curious if it really matters.

Thanks

Well, you don't want to vape nylon. You can use a torch and burn the nylon out.

 

[pmar4015]

Thanks. I guess you would merely hold the cable intact to the flame.....no unravelling required?

 

[RelativeBewt]

thats what im doing in my octopus, it works quite well, flavor of mesh and wicking of silica. win win lol

There are actually a few youtube videos of people doing this. Looks like a good technique.

Correct. Just make sure you get the cable hot enough to melt it. But not all ss rope has that nylon center. Some sites will tell you.

hello i was hoping someone could help me with my wick problems. sorry if this has been covered but i cannot find it.
after setting up my z atty, after a couple drags my wick begins to shed pieces of something i think its pieces of the wick, it looks like
dirt around the coils and is deep black, this causes a bad and harsh taste. i has really put me off to the hole idea of mesh wicks.
i know its is an error on my part but i do not know what is causing the problem. any help would be great.
