if you don't oxides your wick enough and you allow the wick to actually sit on the bottom of the tank the metal bottom of the tank it will short out.it may also be your wick is so tight in the wick hole it's rubbing through to the atty deck and shorting out there, but melting seems kind of extreme...what kind of wire and gauge are you using

Not sure the Guage to be honest it came with my aga t3 but I have 32 Kanthal A wire on the way I'm thinking Silica will make the job easier but I still wanna tackle the Ss mesh just to learn it I like the idea of hybrid wicks. Any oxidizing tips I torched it quenched it in eliquid then light it on fire to burn it off a few times. Ran out of wire so couldn't test it after trying to reoxidize it. I know my torch was low so maybe a refuel get it red hot quench and test with the 32 Kanthal when it comes in and I'll see the results

usually people toast and quench the wick in water a couple of three times and do the juice quench last.I can'toff hand think of what dcould melt the wire...what kind of atty was it. regardles don't give up.nobody mastered gennys in a week, or a month.

Hey Redlig

Welcome to the forums!

It's on a aga t3...ive convinced my self I didn't get it hot enough due to low fuel and not enough quenching lol once my supplies come in I'll post my update wish is hopefully progress. On my list of things to learn is the Ss mesh rebuild vivi novas the aga and my kanger protank 3 but like I mentioned before I'll be building it single coil to hell with the double. Personally I like the single on my vivi better. However the kanger is built so much better us bottom fed... So excited to get my stuff some vamo mods and other goodies
