I dont have a multimeter with me now, Now i wished i had one. Could something be wrong with the mesh?
Ok i tried the old mesh i have left just enough to make my last piece... it's working now ... the new mesh does not work . I really don't understand why it did not work... i have to wait another 2 weeks if i were to order again..
yes i will be getting it soon after what i'm going thru now... I spoke too soon earlier. Till now i keep getting a hot spot at the top of the coil and it breaks/pops . i have done this about 10 times now and about to give up soon... something is just not right but i'm not sure what it is...
Try to get the top of the wick as close to the positive post as possible without touching it.
Not sure how many of you actually boil your mesh before you oxidize, but this will help remove contaminates/oils from handling ect. Which can adversely affect full oxidization.
it still has the hot spots...
Have you tightened the positive pole nut?
On an unrelated note. My buddy just got a bunch of orings. 9mm ID with a 1.5mm cross section and they are too small to seal to the tank. I remember reading in this thread that was the size of the tank orings.
One. Im glad I haven't placed the orion co-op purchase yet.
Two. Im going to take my orings off when I get home and put some calipers to them.
Three. Ill report back.

I don't wanna bug Les on VW but do any of ya'll remember when he said v3 was going to come out?
& how many in the first run? I think I'm #220 (& there's 12 people who, according to the list might want the 2.1)

nice catch.
would have sucked to have a bunch of people .....in about it once they all shipped
Ok. it was just me. I must have just remembered wrong when I recalled what the tank oring size was at the time I read it in this thread. It's a 12mm ID with a 1.5mm cross section.
Glad I caught that. It was the one thing I didn't put on the calipers too. Always double check everything, even if you think you know. LOL

can someone teach me how to use this multimeter? i went and bought one just a while ago but it does not have any instructions and i don't know where to place them to get a reading the coil/ohm readings. All i know is that the black wire goes to the COM hole.Don't even know where to put the red wire into...

Red lead plugs into the VΩmA. Black lead into the COM.
See the bottom left settings that have the Ω sign. That is for reading ohms. For our purposes, and on that meter, set it to the 200Ω setting to read resistance. Take resistance readings without the battery in (so you don't press switch by accident and apply voltage to meter). It i also a good idea to put the lead tips together to see what they read so you can subtract it from your Ω readings.
To take voltage readings. Put it on the V--- (Voltage DC) 20 setting.
Otherwise. Google it. Plenty of info.
Got my Sotong (VW) 18490 extension in couple days ago. Just awesome to have an 18490 Orion that is the same size height wise as a Zen/iHy xx350. It still fits perfectly in my multitool pouch and fits my hand better then the 350 size.
