If you have lowes close by they have these and are a wonderful 3rd hand
Thank you. That's little bit bigger than I can handle now -- I don't have a workbench, yet
I just ordered it
Rayon wick, better flow, flavor, saturation and Nic Hit!

Mudram,
Now we are talking serious "Stay Put" extra hands.
Yes but can even delicately hold the POS pin out of a X.l coil head so I can drill the air feed holes larger without going to the press in the gargage.
...and feet, and legs...Mudram,
Now we are talking serious "Stay Put" extra hands.
This is the one I use, I can adjust the jaws in many different positions.

Is that a reloading bench that now serves double duty as a vape modding bench like mine?
I keep my box of Sally's under it for a foot rest.

thats a nice one, I went cheapo
around $19 for the non rotatable

Well...... if all things that have ever gone on on that work bench were known, I would be being actively persued by BATF, DEA, FDA, EPD and a few union bosses and my wife!
Not to be o early simplistic, but doesn't the head have 510 threads? Screw it into a locked mod/ battery.
Do you mean the base of PT2 or the coil head itself? The coil head itself has some threading but smaller than 510. It sounds like you might have some other type of heads?
When I secure the the coil head into the PT2 base, it sinks in the base to wick it properly. So I need to wick it just by itself, and hopefully secured in a vice soon

I happen on it a year ago when it was on sale and I got another 25% off with a coupon in my wallet. I'm sure yours will get the job done.

T3 to T3S Conversion Base
Exactly, that's what get's clamped in the vice then what ever I'm wicking I screw into it. What makes it nice is I can turn just turn the base of what ever atty I'm working on for fixing the coil, trimming the wick and tucking it in place.
Looking for some input on my wicking. I run a single coil only in my Vertex, and wick it the normal way, which means a lot of juice floating around on the empty side of the deck. This makes it easier for the juice to slosh around and leak out.
I decided to try this way of wicking:
Both ends of the rayon were thinned, with the tail coming from the negative end of the coil looping down below the coil, and then through the posts to the empty side of the deck. The tail coming from the positive side of the coil was split into two, thinned some more, and one half of the tail was tucked under the coil, with the other half going between the posts to the other side of the deck.
This is after vaping it down (not to the point of it being dry though):
The wick was fully saturated (and then some, with some juice sitting on top), and you can see that even the empty side with the bed of rayon has started drying. I'm guessing this means that the wick is working and the coil is still able to pull juice from the little bed I've created? Any problems running it this way?
Thanks for any input!

Yeah everything is working as it should. Nice build!
Drying on the other side let's you know that its working well. Drying in the tails is also a sign you have a good rayon wick build.
The drier it goes before tasting off the better the wick density is... The two middle photos where when it started to dry hit.. White pockets on the other side are drying rayon. Good sign.
The build is 1.3 ohm 28 on plume viel clone. (Carry a towel)

I run my Orchids with the wick-ends split, 1/2 running to the unused side, and they work fine.
Orchids you say? I'm having a hard time picturing this in an Orchid....can't imagine running a single coil in my Orchid and it not pissing everywhere?

Shoot, you remind me, next time I pull out the plume I will try the extra fluffy over bed of rayon on the empty side touching over to the main side. To hold juice add capacity and hopefully reduce leaking.
(Main tails still need to be thinned but will feed from overbed reserve)
Kinda carto like, taking cues from my first rayon builds with the vcore. (Now known as the chimney coil)

I use an old Evod base to screw the head into for wicking. The base is screwed to my Smok volt/ohm meter. Basically the same thing Flavored recommended above. Now if I could just SEE the dam thing! lol But that's what they make those funky magnifier visors for.
I was having the same problem with the coils distorting when wicking the Kanger heads. I have taken to using the double insertion method for wicking them, this is especially helpful when using 34 gauge. I don't stress about missing getting the density perfect, although after doing so many I have it down pretty good. I tend to use less than what's needed when I miss, adding a bit more using the needle threader method puts things right in a jiffy!

Thanks for the input! I actually thinned out the bed a bit more. Next wick I do, I will try to keep one half of each tail thicker to put under the coil, and thin out the second half to put in the bed. It'll be easier to squeeze through the posts as well.
Thinning out the bed gave me more juice capacity while still reducing leaks. No leaks so far and I'm able to take more hits before dripping because less juice is coming out.
Jeremy, any thoughts on putting a tail over the center post in to drip directly onto? I was thinking of splitting the positive end of the tail into 3 - one to go into the bed area, one under the coil and one over the center post.
Thanks! So when the PT2 heads gets screwed on this, the coil is easily accessible for wick insertion?
I have the airflow V3 and the regular PT2 bases and the coll head sinks in both of them, making it almost impossible to wick it properly.
