Today i decided to try out ss mesh wrapped wick in my ody. Since someone did it some time back and for the death of me i couldn't find it anymore now and i really need to give him credit for it.
Fiddled a little when i was setting it up because of hot spots and eventually got it right.
Initially the vapor production was OK. Then after a few hours of use, the vapor production went through the roof! It also taste cleaner without the wicky taste that I get with new coils setups. I don't usually torch the wick prior to setting up so that probably is the reason for the lack of wicky taste because I oxidized the mesh when its attached to the wick.
A hassle to set up but worth my every effort. I think I'm sticking to this setup for a long long time.
Just checked and the wick seems all good for another few more refills. Definitely looks better then gunked up black wicks after a day of use.
Thanks for posting this, it inspired me to try my 400 mesh one more time. I had tried it with my iAtty with no success.
I did it similar to yours. Except I soaked mine in eliquid and burned it off, then rolled the wick in it. I have 2 Ody setups, the first is performing top shelf for flavor and vapor. I love the sound and the vapor density sensation of a well made coil.
The second Ody is not, I'm not sure why. I've reconstructed it a couple times but can't achieve the same results as the first. I suppose like all things GG, practice, practice, and practice some more, until its simple, and hard to do wrong.
Good post, I'm glad I tried it.
Odysseus Rocks!
