Oxidizing

[fsolo77]

Can i use 100% natural vegetable glycerin to oxidize ss mesh? I've been thinking about it and want try it. I use 100% vg juice anyways but i figured this would save my juice.

You can't use PG or VG to oxidize, it would just degrade and burn onto the SS. Get it hot enough and it would all burn off. I always oxidize with the wick and coil dry by pulsing out shorts. Works very well.

Just torch it, much easier. I've found that all this stuff people do to oxidize is unnecessary. Torch both sides of the sheet of mesh, roll, torch again if wanted but even this isn't needed.

I actually only torch once gently to just red hot to get rid of any oil on the SS and wire. Then I build the mesh and coil and pulse out the shorts. If you use a drill bit to make the coil on the rba it will be very round and cylindrical. Make the wick so it slides in easily, not tight. Takes me 5 minutes max to pulse out shorts.
