Powder coated ss mesh

[iamme123]

In my search for ss mesh that isn't overpriced from an ecig vendor I came across mesh that had been powder coated. So, my question is: Has anyone ever tried using powder coated ss mesh rather oxidizing it? Ive found a high heat resistant powder coating material that is used in baking ovens and BBQ's but have yet to find woven mesh in required grades for genys with a high temp resistant powder coat. So lets start a brainstorm, question of the day: Would proper grade woven ss mesh powder coated with a high heat resistant coating be a viable substitute to oxidized ss mesh.

I would think that would just fill up the holes in the mesh and thus stop the capillary action.

That's a really good point.Powder coating needs a pretty thick layering to prevent peeling and on a 400 mesh the powder coat would just plug things up. But,for the sake of theory, lets say its a woven mesh grade where the powder coating doesn't fill up the holes and the capillary action still works.

Then for the sake of theory, I probably still wouldn't do it because theoretically, the coil can still get hot enough to burn off the powdercoat.

Faint Red 950-1050º F
Dark Red 1150-1250º F
Dark Cherry 1175-1275º F
Cherry Red 1300-1400º F
Bright Cherry 1475-1575º F
Dark Orange 1650-1750º F
Orange 1750-1850º F
Yellow 1800-1900º F
Yellow/white Over 2000º F

In comparison, the hottest I've seen burn off ovens get (ovens designed to burn off paint) is 900º F.

I did'nt know an atomiser got that hot. I figured they'd get pretty hot but didnt know they could get that high. Yeh it wouldn't work.

They typically don't get that hot unless you're dry firing but there is that possibility.

I wouldnt go with powder coating on anything that Im vaping through because id be worried about the powder coat leeching even microscopically into my juice
