I remember when Hurricane Isabel came through in 2003. Was without power for almost a week. Have all intentions of staying safe until this passes through. :)

I am originally from Kansas, have been through all kinds of tornadoes. I will take a tornado any day over a hurricane. At least with a tornado it happens immediately, hurricanes, as I have learned, can last for days.

Yes Isabel was the name of it and not Elizabeth,my bad.I lived right off of Sparrow road and worked at Birsch Industries at that time.We had no power for 2 weeks and cooked on a Coleman camping stove and used a generator in the day to keep our food good.
 
As of 6am this morning they said that the center of whatever Sandy is when it hits land will be right around the Atlantic City area. Now if you take a look to the left. Under where my avatar would be is "Join Date:" Read the line directly under that. A little added suspense, at the moment I am living in my camper at a campground, with nowhere to hide at the moment. SO, if you don't hear from me again, you'll understand. :blink:

I think that last vid chopper did was the "jack frost" way of making the mesh non conductive. The wet willy I think is cotton at the top to make sure the wire does not short to the wick. I also think the "rolling paper" is based off the same premise as the "wet willy". Which I think just stops contact between coil and wick. Somebody just stop me if I am wrong.

It seems if my assumptions above are correct. That a "rolling paper" or "wet willy" should eliminate the need to make the rest of the wick non-conductive. I must have something wrong. Because it appears everyone does a combination of both.

Good vid Chopper. It really answers my questions. I was kinda thinking on your Atoms. A person could just push the pos post back to make it a little easier to rap the coil neatly. Then push it back to complete the circut. I am still wondering if the number of wraps on the posts effect the setup.

Does the tightness of the wick roll effect wicking?

While waiting on my shipping notice I am shopping for wick and wire. What gauge kanthal works best for the atom. I have some 32 gauge but I believe Chopper uses 33. If someone can chime in and let me know what is recommended I can replenish my supply since I am almost out from learning to wrap my child lol

Hey Nautty, it comes ready to put your juice in and hit the button, lol. The jack frost wick is away to make a mesh wick. I think that the wet willy is a jackfrost wick with A Small amount of cotton added to the wick under the coil wire. I'm pretty sure he tests all his atoms with VG liquid on the coil to make sure it fires before shipping.

Hey all, hows everyone been?
For those of you looking for wire and mesh, I am buying 2 or 3 lbs of 28 Kanthal and giving away 100 ft to anybody that wants to pay shipping. Here is the link, there is more info on the second page.
Also there is an active co-op for #635 mesh. It is full and the reserve list will be the second co-op. I will be running the 2nd, with up to 40 members.

Chopper,
You guys are in our thoughts. I hope your hunkered down.
Thats goes for any of you on the east coast.

~~~~~ @ kwalka! yup! i'm hunkering down ;)

not sure if i should take advantage of your generosity again but 28 ga sounds good and i'd have some 500 mesh in exchange once that co-op goes live if you'd like some.
the 635 is a little too pricey for me atm

I would hope that you would. rulsaka started the idea and I stepped in to get it off the ground. I am only announcing it to peeps in my circle and letting it grow from there. 2-3 lbs is prob close to a mile of wire, so please feel free (no pun intended). :)

Nautty1, the atom bomb comes ready to vape, with the wick and everything, all you have to do is put your favorite juice and your ready to go. As far as the wicks, Fox man explain it very well, if you have more question please feel free to ask, everyone on the forum helps everyone out.
