Precise ELA Telescoping Mod by Super-T!

[anavidfan]

Im glad you liked them icucme2, Im very tempted, I saw those and thought amazing, considering that other places they sell for a dollar each. I think someone got themselves one of those wire welding devices and said, "heck" ......... Plus you have a pretty good range of resistances to choose from.

I think I will keep twisting, I actually think the work keeps my fingers from becoming stiff, good therapy

I recently gave in and tried a few feet of ekowool and can't really see what the hype is. It's flimsy and easy to over-tighten. Like ana says, taste and wicking seems the same as good German silica. It definitely frays more but is much more durable. Any tips on how to prevent constricting a coil?

Giving the ekowool a good torching before doing anything with it will both keep it from fraying and taste better. It frays really easily until torched. Use a decent sized sewing needle or an unwound paper clip when wrapping your coils and it will prevent constricting it. You'll find that ekowool wicks will last a lot longer than standard silica.

From the kayfun Lite thread, I think Idaholandho nailed it here as one way to go.

I need to try that setup, I have short stubby fingers so we'll see lol

Yay! Got my post today.

Boy, you can really taste the rhodium!

Wow, thanks for the tips, guys. The torching/damp-wick/needle technique will work the best for me. Needle's part of my kit. I'll have to try the drill-bit/nail method, but don't have any thicker needles and don't have a spare bit to put in my kit.

As for the Stormy's ready wire, I can attest they they work well and taste just fine. I have them in 1.5 and 2.4 ohms. Relatively cheap and at 50 each bundle, you might end up accidentally building quite a stash. A little weaker at the joints than a good hand-twisted wire, but this is decidedly not a dealbreaker.

Now it's time to stop thinking about my future ELA and do something productive but less satisfying...

Thanks! It's the brushed caps to match the Roller but I am thinking I might need to order Polished caps for my ELA..

I found it to be easiest to wrap my coil around a screw. Then install on the deck. Followed by threading ekowool through the coils using a wire hook ( 26g wire about 1 inch with a hook at the end). I usually end up with 4 strands in between the coil. This method you don't waste wick and you can always re wick when needed.
Figure 8 wastes too much wick to build. And you can't re wick a figure 8.

im thinking about using my ready wires on a genny... my ago-t always has a hot leg at the top because the design has the center post too far from wick hole.. maybe with the nr wire no ,ore hot leg

Wonder if you could just double up and twist your res wire going between your wick and post while leaving your coil single around the wick?

A trip down memory lane...

Found a photo of my Super Six chillin' next to my unicorn.. "Some Gave All" by James Muir... Only 50 ever made and mine is #1

Still have the unicorn but the Super Six was forever lost at Angels Stadium..
