Done up with SS mesh and ribbon wire @ 1.5 ohms. The only other modification other than using the ribbon wire Eva sent me is that I enlarged the air hole to around 1 mm. Better vapor production and the draw isn't as tight.:D

Edit: I will be shopping around for a glass tube to replace the plastic one that this one has.

That Ribbon Kanthal is great, and many people are making the Air Hole 1mm. Sounds like a great idea.

And GV has the Glass Tubes for it (at least for the Birkshire), at about $5, if I recall. I've got to get one of these!!! :)

I'll have to ask around to find out if the tubes are the same size or not. Glass definitely beats plastic and $5 isn't a bad price at all.

Very nice sir! If you find the mesh to be kind of a pita then you might want to check out this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/rebuildable-atomizer-systems/375999-wire-rope-wick.html
I have an aga-t2 running some of the ss rope mentioned in that thread and it works very well without the hassle of rolling mesh....

Another thing that some people are doing on some Tanks is making the SS Mesh hole bigger, to 2mm, and 3/32”. IDK how large yours is, or in any AGA-T, but a wider Wick makes for more Vapor.

BJ43 did a study on SS Mesh, and found that 500 is the best for any E-Liquid, but especially for 100% VG, which is what he uses. Then he found that making a very dense, very tightly wrapped Mesh Wick, without a Center Hole, was even better. If you're interested, I'll find the link to his posts about it for you.

He said...
Last night I rolled a 70mm 3/32 dia #500 wick with no center hole. Did not use a paper clip. 8/9 wraps 32g A1, 3 ohms. I have been vaping the 70mm wick for a few hours and it is great. No spitting juice without the center hole. As with other #500 wicks, I am finding my sweet spot at a lower voltage than with the #400.

NOTE: 70mm of 500 SS Mesh into a 3/32” (2.38mm) slot/hole, therefore…
about 93.3mm into a 1/8” (3.18mm) slot/hole,
about 88.2mm into a 3.0mm slot/hole,
about 81.6mm into a 7/64’ (2.78mm) slot/hole,
about 73.5mm into a 2.5mm slot/hole,
about 70.0mm into a 3/32” (2.38mm) slot/hole,
about 58.5mm into a 5/64” (2.0mm) slot/hole,
about 50.0mm into a 1/16” (1.59mm) slot/hole,
about 44.0mm into a 1.5mm slot/hole (Vivi Nova without modification).

He now uses 28g round Kanthal and about a 2Ω wrap, at about 20W, bc he uses no-nic juice, and likes a good TH.

ETA: If you use that Rope, you could still make a bigger hole.
