Quick SS mesh question.

[Jorad]

I keep seeing people using stainless steel screen as a wick. My question is how do you do this without shorting out the kanthal? Wouldn't wrapping kanthal around something conductive doesn't sound like it would work. Anyone want to fill me in on the mechanics of this?

You need to oxidize the mesh, first ;-) This will make it less conductive.

Ah I see... That makes a little more sense now. Maybe there should be a sticky on common Atty mod techniques?

There are stickies like that, but none pertaining to mesh. That being what it is, the first page of the modding section has had mesh related threads for a year or so. The atomizer section, not so much.
