I've gotten it to do that. I left a bottle in the garage. Lol

Hey, buzz, how do you get mesh to bend like in your dripper? Me and another member were scratching our heads...

EASY!

when cuting your mesh, make sure that the weave is at a 45 degree from your cuts...

roll it, and it bends without kinks, to a certain degree that is.

then when you torch it, it holds that bend.

I'm currently making a kayfun SS build.
WHEN successful, pics will be uploaded.

but it's "only water vapor"

I have mixed feelings about this, so I never say it. Its a nice figure of speech to illustrate how harmless it is, but I think we need to be more honest with people than that because we have nothing to hide.

Edit: Sorry we are getting :offtopic:



Twisted 28 single strand that goes through the center post, wrapped on the 1/8" drill bit for .24 ohms. Look at how dark that center post is. Its :evil:

Dual 28g micros on the igo-w... Still waiting for my atty ohm checker, so with my less accurate multimeter came in about 0.55 ohms. Need to increase airflow. The 1/16 holes in the cap are not quite big enough. Gets warm quick. Any suggestions on airport sizing? I was kind of thinking just step it up one bit size, I think I have a 3/32.

Smallest ribbon I had on hand was .5x.1mm and maybe not ideal for twisting but I just couldn't wait to try my hand at a mm coil. This coil was made from the bad sections that broke off, had kinks, etc... Three scrap sections combined were just long enough to wrap this .8ohm'ish coil. Figured those pieces would make a good first attempt learning coil just to get a feel for things. Works surprisingly well!

Ty, you will really like it once you get the twisting down.
You need to twist the individual strands more.
They should "fold" so they look like this:

6mmX07mmcoldtwisted165ohmft_zps925326ba.jpg


There is a definite point in twisting where they "fold" and you will see it happening.
They "fold" from one point and work their way across or to the ends.
Stop when they are all the way across.
Then the twisting of the 3 pieces in the opposite direction interlocks them together and partially opens the "folds".
Here is a .5X.1 precursor while I was experimenting before I found that .6x.07 seems to work best.
(Ignore the part about hot twisting, I don't do that anymore)

Suns coming up here at job site, so got to get to work now.
