And now onto a completely different train of though all together!
I just stumbled upon this on one of the Ecig related facebook groups, Of Wick & Wire, and I wanted to know if anyone has tried this yet? It's a neat idea, but I'm too skeptical to believe it works without testing it for myself.

...and I tried that "throttle" method, must take someone smarter than me. 2x 30awg and 1x 28awg coil pops later I pulled the wick, Jack Frost, re-rolled/coiled 4/5 30awg (@~1.3ohm) and "voila"! I really like the Mini flavor with the Shortie capacity.
Anyone try this yet ?

I've got another interesting idea for oxidizing mesh that I've experimented with and actually had impeccable results doing! Oxidizing full sheets of mesh in a knife kiln! The kilns get upwards of 4500º+, which is wayyyyy more heat than is necessary, but a 5-10 second dunk in the knife kiln is potentially all you need to oxidize a FULL SHEET of mesh! I can't see this as being even remotely practical for your average user, but for industrial/commercial purposes (ie making bulk amounts of pre-oxidized wicks for wholesale/retail), I think I could be onto something here! I wonder what I'd fetch for a lot of 100 perfectly oxidized, pre-rolled, 3-3.5mm wicks on the classies...that might pay the bills for a POLDIAC![]()
Thanks Uma!
I am just in that "Arrrrrghhhhh! Women! can't live with them, can't kill them" kind of state with my ex here.
So that makes it hard to post anything cheerful or funny or inspired if that makes sense.
