No all the sand paper phase by hand....but I do use a buffing wheel on a drill for the final polishing
I need to check whether I have any sandpaper. If I don't, my much more handy sister probably does.

It looks really close to the Colossal! Blue is hard to match, but that’s a winner!
Those blues work together. I once ordered a blue Tobeco super tank in I thought blue but ordered Tiffany blue instead. And it really matches a Tiffany box. Good luck finding a mod that looked even half ok on.

Just got around to watching Martin Oen's video. Very interesting indeed. I'm going to try wicking harder next time. But what do you do with the tails? Thin them? Cut them?
On most, I comb out the tails after I rough cut the length, then trim off fringe. Seems to work well with rayon. I’m sure more experienced builders have better advice, but I lean towards easy + works
Did you watch the video? He talks about packing a heroic amount of cotton into the coil. There's no way one would want to keep all that mass in the tails, it seems to me, but I'm an absolute beginner, so what do I know?On most, I comb out the tails after I rough cut the length, then trim off fringe.

By the way, I successfully wrapped and wicked two coils and rewicked a third today. That brings my total up to six full builds and two rewickings, not including the slapdash wicks I've thrown into the dripper I use for testing flavors.
In other words, I wasn't lying when I said I was an absolute beginner.

That’s how I do it. Just comb enough to straighten the tails, and that thins them plenty. I do a 2.5 or 3.0 ID coil and that usually holds a good amount of cotton for any atty.
There’s a very informative thread on VU in a Stabwood topic that discusses ALL types of stabwood/regular wood care. I learned a lot from them. And all are happy to share their knowledge.
Yeah you'll have to cut some....equal on both sides or it'll wick more on one side than the other. I never put wick into the juice channels. I always just lay it down on top of the deck/channel. The cotton don't want to be stuffed inside a channel as the juice mostly wicks on the outside of the cotton. When its stuffed in there, it don't wick well.
It's the True RTA. This is my favorite MTL tank and Iv'e tried almost all of them.
Calling all Dog lovers - The Ehpro True MTL RTA
The True is next on my list to build. At this rate, I'm going to end up with a ridiculous number of set-ups, since I'll feel compelled to vape every tank dry but won't be able to stop myself from building. I suppose I could array them on a shelf, roughly organized by juice flavor, and just grab whichever tickles my fancy on a given day.
You’ll end up like me, Zazie. Sunday I clean and build all my atties. It’s only Tuesday and these already need a re-do.
Very nice and pretty close match in my book
I like my new stabwood better than the old one. It's prettier. It's just better.
I put a SUPER leak proof tank on it. SO far, so okay,
