Yes, i'm sideways.........sorry, it's from my android & I didn't know which way to tell my husband to hold my phone lol. (thank gawd I don't mod).

My 18650s may have been a 'little' low...........but WHY am I not getting PLUMES of vape? It's AVE Hype 90%VG on an SSGGTS. Am I suppose to have condensation in the top tube?

Jen i think it might be shorting a bit on the mesh or too many coils in the resistance wire. But its hard to guess. I know my setup was shorting onto the mesh and there wasnt stuff all vapour when exhaled. I corrected the mesh and dropped to 4 coils at 6volt now theres tons.

Did you quelch the stainlesh mesh with heat and water?

It would be if you used cinnamon juice in it!

Haha Good to know! My tubing is the 1/16th inch walled, and the tube in the video actually looked quite a bit thinner than mine. Cinnamon joose can do that? LOL I don't think I want that in my lungs... Just kidding I know it's a chemical property of PC.

Hey bmw! Seems like forever since i've talked to you!! How did you get yours so fast in Australia? lol

I also thought the mesh was a bit short! (the hubby doesn't vape, so he figured it would still be wicking fine). Thanks for addressing my concern here. I don't know if my 18650 was about to die............but when I popped that baby on my buzz pro the vapor did get noticeably better. We did 5 coils, & yep heated til red then put under cold water.

I've got another one here still to make. My husband would like to do it in glass, I have no idea how that is gonna fly.

I'm super pleased with how all of this came together! I've been following this since original talk of the co-op in the "all my mods" thread (I think that's where the original co-op topic came up). I'm looking forward to seeing a whole bunch of Gens in the US vaping community!

Hehe Jen, nah mine hasnt arrived yet, but i have a jonboy tank with a ce2 modded to use ss mesh. Wicks the same as a scubagen and same problems, easy way to see if its shorting is battery life will be way shorter than normal. I think my first attempts were also powering through the mesh and drained batteries in half the time. Anyways i hope yours is now plumeful and tasting nice good luck.

Edited to add:
I ended up useing the insides of an old carto from a smokestik to put over my stainless wick so i wouldnt have to quelch the wicks.
