Failed experiment: I know a lot of folks are getting great results with 500 mesh rolled fat so I tried it. I'm not entirely sure what went wrong, but it turned out horribly for me (no flavor or burnt flavor every hit...).
I went with a way thick (~170mm - rolled solid) wick hole width. Wrapped with 30awg K1, 4/5@1.7ohm. No hot spots/shorts, bad
vaping experience. I even tried unrolling and removing back to ~110mm (with a small center channel - about the same resistance) and still just yuck...
Funny how one lengthy fail session erases all the confidence. Fortunately I had my Shorty (Gorilla
juice) and Mini (Pluid) all dialed in and standing by ready to console me as I looked sadly at something I just couldn't get to work. Uncharacteristically for me, I was so fed up with it I stuck in a drawer (it's actually been in "time-out" for 2 days now....). Buuuuut, tomorrow I'll follow Miriam (with the hat)'s lead and do a complete break down and deep clean to try and wash off the crappy-wick-karma and go back to what I know works for me.
