3) At a wire & mesh store.
4) Very hard. No wait...let me do it.
5) :confused:
6) Hamsters don't need lightbulbs.

There are no stupid questions....well, some will say the ones I ask are. :)

1. 32 is a great wire. Especially on the cobra. I use 30 or 32. Sometimes I twist 32 or 33 to get a lower resistance depending on the juice because 28 is just so damn thick for a little wick.

2. What type of mod are you using it on try 4 wraps and see how it vapes or tastes. You can recoil or readjust. Heck go 5 because you can always take one off. I like to see people see exactly what each setup offers because each persons taste is purely subjective. But the higher you go, the more pale it'll be if its a mech mod

3. Mesh : themeshcompany.com. It's in e UK, but I usually get the mesh 8-10 days at my door and its cheaper than any I've seen in the states.
Wire: http://www.ebay.com/sch/kingorchid/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686
Fantastic seller and extremely fast shipping.

4. Really hard, if you have several pillows laying around, but certainly not worth a ton of bruises. :)

5. I torch the cut, unrolled mesh between 20-39 seconds. Cover the entire piece. Roll it on a small or medium paper clip. Usually I use small now, but some juices still travel better with the aid of a slightly larger center hole. Torch the whole roll....again, about 30 seconds to glow. Wrap the wire ON the wick, insert, assemble, test. There should be a tiny amount of "spring back" on the coils. Leave that. It sets up the perfect spacing between wick/wire. Adjust coils for hot spots.

6. That depends if they are part of a governmental experiment.

Bring them. Plenty of answers here.
:)

Ok a bit about my set up(since I forgetted that part) It will be going on the old provari mini. I ordered some pre rolled 400x400 mesh(because I sucked at rolling cigs(yes they were really cigs) and I figured out that would be easier at first. Its unoxidized so I have to figure out that part. My jaw now hurts thanks to the mean people here. And I cant wait to put on the old loincloth and grab my spear for stalking the elusive mailman.

The easiest way to oxidize is to torch the hell out of the mesh before you roll it and then again after you roll it. Then put a few drops of VG or ejuice on the coil end of the mess and lighter burn it off. No need to quench. Do that a couple times than wrap your coil. There are many different ways to do this so you'll get many difference suggestions. This is how I do it because it's easier and quicker.
