I think the boiling is primarily for cleanliness. I'm a dirty guy, I don't boil it.

You have to dry it out, remove juice and power it until the kanthal wire glows. The whole wire that is wrapped around the mesh should glow. If the whole thing doesnt glow it is shorting.
Figured I'd give the battery connectors a try while I wait for the other parts to arrive. Took apart an old 510 atty, cut it close to the connector then used a grinding wheel to get the rest of the atty tube off. Tested the fit, it slid in with relative ease so I put some solder on it and banged it in. Thing aint going nowhere. So for the record, connectors from 510 atties work!
the ce2 does also have air flow through it
hint for cutting the poly tube.. i put a 14mm socket on a 3" extension to back it... depending on the brand of socket you might have to use a different size.
only problem is, my old tubing cutter is worn, and likes to walk, so i had to start hard and its stressing the tube. need to either try a new blade or get a new cutter

Guys I have 2 of mine now built, I'm using ss 400 mesh on one and on the other I am using the wick from Omega Engineering, the Nextel XC-116 this stuff is by far the best wick I have found and I have it on my iAtty. = Nextel Braided Ceramic Very High Temperature Sleeving
Problem I'm having is the quality of the dam vape, it sucks, just not getting a good vape. I did the mesh in a 1.7ohm and I did my nextel wick at 3.5ohm everything seems to be working great have good airflow coils are working both wicks are nice and wet but its a really harsh vape, its unbearable and just no good. Can anyone figure out whats going wrong here or is this how these are supposed to be >??
I guess I should say it's a really harsh hit, to harsh,, I'm also running it on my Provari so I'm using all different voltages too.!

There is a second purpose to boiling. It makes the initial break in go faster too so you get to that great clean taste in less hits
is anyone using theres her or what ? On the one that Im using the wick I have 6.5 wraps around my wick, my provari tells me I'm at 3.6ohms and the vaps is no good, extremely harsh and even when I lower the voltage same thing just harsh. Somebody chime in here and tell me whats going on need some help here.
Cut back to 3 or 4 wraps. You are not getting enough heat and therefore not properly vaporizing your juice. This gives you poor vapor and very harsh hits. Try it and you'll see a world of difference right away.
I have 4 wraps on one of them the one with them Mesh, same exact thing as the 6.5 Wraps, ohms are ohms I dont see how that would matter, cant you vape these at whatever ohm you want ? I'm getting vapor, its just very harsh vapor
OK my mesh one just finally broke in, running great ! I guess it was just new and needed break in, now I'm going to the one with the XC-166Wick and gonna see if that one breaks in.
Ok the harsh taste and immense TH is comming from a short. I have had this before, I removed the top and did a dy burn while blowing on it and found only one wrap was glowing. I took a tooth pick and moved the coil around while pulse dry burning until the entire coil glowed. Dripped some juice on it and the TH dropped and vapor increased.
Hope this helps.

OK, there comes a time to admit when your just not a modder or I'm just not getting the vape I'm supposed to, one way or another I just cant get this it's been two days and I'm no where near a nice vape, sucks but I'm giving up !
I've gotten the harsh throat hit and "wetter" vape from added resistance somewhere along the path to the coil. Finding it is a pain though, but it makes a world of difference once it is gone. If yours goes away and stays away then probably the mesh is shorting to the coil and the breaking in is getting oxidization to finally break the short by cooking enough juice between the two.
MWA~mine vapes good, it's just HUGE. I need the perfect mod for it to go on.
Send it to me & I'll get it put together for ya. (just for MWA)
