Finally figured out Multi-quotes
Ya know, not sure but kanthal 30, may be a bit more stable than kanthal 32...
I've been using 30 for everything. Recently saw a Youtube talking about 28awg. I've had the same experience with 30awg seeming to have way less problems/settles in much quicker.
I haven't had much luck with the thicker 30 tho... seem harder to coil around. I should start using it more.
I find it harder to coil on the wick. It's thicker and I mangled a couple good wicks

I now coil before installing and 30 really holds it's shape nicely. I use a tool about the size of the wick hole and can get really even, tight coils that way.
My stainless steel parts came in today.......I didn't have the heart to break down one of my DIDs.
I had the same problem, but not the patience. I tore one down, cleaned it and rebuilt with all SS. I love the new SS hardware!!! The centerpost setup and the "no tools" thing were just too much for me to wait.
All I can say crippled Did on a crap pv. Still vaping like a train.[/IMG]
Don't get down on that master piece of ingenuity. I've been watching the pics as you've battle dressed that thing along and (at least to me) it feels like a testimony to resilience.
Like some of you, I bought some 500x500. Haven't had a chance to roll a new wick with it yet (maybe tomorrow), but has anyone got some results of using it to feed back? I'm planning to start with a 40mm x 50mm fat wick coiled with 30awg 4/5 to see how it goes.
