SS Mesh on Penelope/Odysseus

[Necromancer]

anyone got the video on using ss mesh for penelope or odysseus? I can't seem to find it anymore..
I saw imeo's but its only the top part with ss mesh.. wanted to try full mesh wick.. heard there is a method to prevent shorting .. anyone?

Check the video of Mr Krinkle (Krinkle method!), just oxidize the hell out of it, what i do instead of quenching it in water i quench it in VG, i bet u have tons of that hehehe

Hope this helps!

Necro bro, as long as u oxidise the mesh properly (the whole thing!) it shouldn't short as it should be non-conductive already.
But then comes a problem. Becuz oxidising will turn the mesh more rigid, it will be somewhat difficult to bend it at the ceramic cup area.
I havent try it yet but i guess you could bend the mesh to fit into the cup etc first then oxidise to 'fix' the shape.
i would picture the mesh to be slightly curved like a dome at the top of the ceramic cup instead of 90degree bend like wick.
Have fun trying and let us know the result xDD

Mr Krinkle's method with mesh will work, but you've got to make sure there are no gaps between the ceramic when you place your mesh on it, it has to be thick enough to act as a dam.

Another method is to use wick together with mesh, where you cut the wick the same length as your mesh then have them place so that the wick is below the mesh.

gonna try it out hope it works! thanks all! always use nextel and coil.. never try b4 SS wick.. see got difference or not..

 

[Drunkendori]

Interesting leh. Please share your results ya!

Only tried a hybrid.
Works ok. Coil lasts much longer as you can dry-burn and continue to reuse. I just did a wash n dry-burn. Still working good though I do notice a hint of burnt taste once in awhile.

 

[Necromancer]

tried your method madhero, for some reason the vapor production is lesser and taste a little off compared to just wick.. maybe i coil too much mesh on the wick.. gonna make another one to try now

PS: I used ;
nextel XC-116
SS Mesh Superfine 400
Kanthal A1-32AWG

 

[madhero]

My SS mesh is only 2 wraps.

Anyway, I just re-did a sole SS coil. Working really good right now. No floods, no burns. Just remember to open the juice control bigger then you normally would when using silica wick.

another question in mind.. anyone got the link on how imeo knots the NR and R wire together? the twisting version by scott is alright but the knotted version looks cleaner

 

[nodizil]

i am very new to this, if i use mesh with wick underneath it do i wrap coils around both or just the mesh. also i anything running down the side with the NR wire. If not how do you prevent shorts? Also will this work with a penelope? Thanks for the help

Yes it works on the Penelope.
Wrap coils on mesh.
If you're using a hybrid wicking, naturally your wick is down the channels. Even if there is no wick, there wouldn't be shorts if you do it proper.
