Mesh in RM2?

[Jazzi Mike]

Hey, have any of you guys tried SS mesh in the RM2? I have a ton of it and I'm not planning on using a genesis anytime soon...

i was actually thinking of doing this......only thing I can think is that the wick will have to be squonked more often.....ive used this in tanks before and it is awesome but wondered the same for the RM2.....take more time to prepare though......

When I went this route, I had to squonk between every hit or I'd get a burnt juice taste. Great flavor but wasn't worth the hassle IMO.

Also, an oxidised mesh wick will colour your juice, which is fine in a tank but perhaps not so desirable when it is withdrawn back into the bottle after a squonk!

It is possible to use just a mesh wick alone - but, i found i had better results with a hybrid one: mesh wrapped around either cotton or silica.

or you could sleeve the mesh with ekowool, but the simplicity and performance of cotton its just to hard to beat.

Only if you over handle the mesh and break up the oxidation will it color the liquid. Happened to me once with a genny when I was learning. Roll, then oxidize. Reverse will cause that. Never since with any of my gennys or Rm2. Only thing drawn back into my gennys are air bubbles.
I get about 4-5 pulls before needing a squonk which I don't view as inconvenient at all.

Here is a 1.7ohm micro on ss

Xobe, how many pulls do you get off her before having to squonk again?

 

[Xobeloot]

Just put it in. Let me test it a bit and get back to you. It's fairly high resist, so i'm guessing i'll get several.

Back in a few

So far i'm at 6 chain vapes, but I also just topped off my bottle, so I think I'm getting a little bit of auto-feed.

 

[Xobeloot]

Ok... I'm getting 12-15 toots between squonks. I am crediting this to the 100% VG juice gluing itself into the catch cup after a squonk, as well as the low temps of the 1.7Ω coil.

Yours will likely vary.

 

[EddieAdams]

Is that 400mesh xobe? How does it handle the 100%vg? I ask because I never tried it. Started using SS after I stopped buying 100%vg and now I'm DIY...been thinking about ordering some BB or GJ to see how I like it now. Also if you have any experience with those liquids and a micro coil, do they gunk the coil quickly?

 

[Xobeloot]

Ya. It's 400. No issues wicking. I use juice that is thicker than bobas. In the reo, no issue. If you are using a genesis style, i'd recommend 300-325 for the high vg stuff.

What mg do you vape? I have a decent amount of both bobas and gj that i just don't use. I'd be happy to PIF. Well... I have to locate the gj, but bobas for certain.

How do you find the flavor compare to cotton? I use mesh in all my gennies but with the RM2 I find cotton taste so clean and changing it so damn easy I am hesitant to change. I too tend to vape 100% or high% VG

 

[Xobeloot]

I still prefer cotton. Every now and again i clean my desk and find my mesh after seeing a thread like this and remind myself why I love cotton.

Vaping 8mg at the moment. Willing to vape as high as 18. Only reason I haven't gone lower is the lack of TH. I'd appreciate that.

There's no reason to switch Mac. Personally I just don't care for cotton. I personally can taste it. I can't see wicking being more neutral than SS, not to mention that I have at least 7 different flavors steeping at any given time and need to sample these. The SS allows me to drip a different flavor without corruption from the prior flavor. I'm averaging a month out of each wick and coil and change because it's"time"not because of failure.

Just seems implausible. Unless you remove the wick and clean it, there will be residue from the last flavor. I can do the same with cotton in less than a minute. Pull wick, dry burn, rewick, done and taste the next flavor. I guess the down side is I've wasted about one tenth of a cent on the cotton.

 

[EddieAdams]

Why is it implausible? You burn it off. Something you can't do with natural wicking. If there's any liquid it's evaporated. You've only wasted time. Look I get it. You love your cotton. Not going to spend my time defending SS. Frankly it's just not that important to me. I have my experience, you have yours. I used natural wicking for quite sometime. Works great. Initially you can taste it. It dissipates then you have a great vape, then you have to change it. You can't change flavors without changing the wick. One of my favorite things I loved when I discovered bottom feeding using an atty at the time was the ability to drip a different flavor at any time. No carrying spare tanks of different flavors. Just a small, light bottle, pull the drip tip off and drip. When that's done squeeze the bottle and you're back to the bottle.
You're using a really nice performing cartomizer essentially. I prefer an atomizer. I don't want to have to switch my cartomizer to switch flavors even if it takes less than a minute. I want to exhaust the flavor in there then simply drip a new one...
