It is a 3/4 wrap, and yes, I do as fat a wick as I can. Barely fits in wick hole, but wicks like a vampire, I never, I mean never, get a dry hit.

how large is your center hole on your wick?
What coil and volts do you run. Im just using a omega. Thinking of getting a provari.
I do like the fresh battery vape.

DID Question
What if any thing does the size of the center hole in the SS mesh wick make? humm!! let me rephrase that
Does the size of hole in the center of the wick mater? if so why?

waiting patiently... my short DID is in the mail, but i can't read the tracking info because it's in greek. doh! hopefully it gets here soon, cause i am dying to try it
1st attempt at a "twisted wick". Using 34AWG - A1 to get 1.9ohm (3/4 wraps). I twisted it by making a loop out of ~2 ft of wire. Drilled a screw into my work bench for an anchor, and bent a nail (hook shaped) as a tip in a variable speed 18v cordless drill. Spin it till it's twisted.
It's more "springy" than regular wire so I shaped it on the wick before installing the wick and tightened it once in
Very little nudging to sort out a hotspot. Not as pretty as some of you artists seem to be able to get, but burns pretty even
Lots of vapor, a little softer flavor than I'm used to with this juice (a 50/50 blend of BWB Malty Toffee and BWB Green Apple)

Not on the did, but now I'm wondering if I'll have enough airflow with a U wick. I believe this will be tomorrows challenge.
You know an atomizer rocks when you finish taking a hit and vapor is still coming out the vent and drip tip. got to love the did. Using it for over a month. No problems. Just loving it. Get one if you don't have it.

Aha! 34KA1 is the same as the 0.16. That was part of the researching I still needed to get to.Awesome, Thx! I have a Shorty just screaming to be tinkered with. I think I'm going to try the 3/4 with 34KA1 (same as 0.16) like Griz discussed in that thread. Reading through it, there a set of pics of a DID all twisted up and blasting like a volcano. The discussion about juice pooling in the twists makes sense and I'd bet there are less hot spots because the surface area where the coil touches the wick is decreased by the ridges created by the twists.
Even if it doesn't work, it'll be fun making a jig and playing with power tools
Exciting thread isn't it! Glad you found it useful and informative. Can't wait to hear the results of your creation.
Looking forward to seeing them! That's a lot of work! Thanks for your efforts.
No kinks, U-shaped, AND twisted? That *is* quite a feat! The U is a ... difficult one to master. Congrats! Did you video for us??
Oh, I just re-read your question and I understand now more of what you are asking...unfortunately I don't have a reference for that.

Hopefully someone more experienced will come along and answer. From what I understand, it's supposed to act like a straw... too large of hole and it will flood too easy, too small and will crimp the flow. Which comes in handy for the various mesh sizes we use... just pinch the top or open the top up more with a needle to suit your particular wick.DID Question

Awesome!! Thanks for the pics too, it really helps to understand what's happening.
I wonder why the flavor muted some? I wonder if it will return to normal after a few hours? Keep us updated!
Thanks for that, but i am asking about the center hole of the wick it self.
Ya i figured it plays a part in some way, I guess I should ask what is the typ size or best size to make it if using #400? my wick is fat and just slides in to the wick hole.
Anyone want to chime in on what size they use, i been rolling mine around the allen wrench provided with the DID.
Thanks to Martinc in the Vmax thread for alerting me to this. Looks interesting, no?
I actually use the two mesh version, the larger mesh is wrapped around the Allen key, the smaller is wrapped around a paperclip.

Sorry 'bout that, I completely glazed over the few words that changed the direction of your question.
