ss rope with a twist

[divinerebel]

I recently got my hands on 7x19 3/32 wire rope and tried to wrap the top portion in mesh . no luck i couldn't get rid of the shorts well i saw this pic and figured id ask if anyone else has done this with any luck , its a carto inner sleeve around a mesh wick . i was thinking of doing it with the rope when i got home . anyone tried this or heard of this working?

I tried it with a sleeve from a smok dual carto.. it did not work well at all. The best combo I tried was sleeving the top of the rope with either silica or Nextel.

I just got a RSST as well and put a ceramic wick on it and some ribbon kanthal and it was ok but on my 2nd try I used stainless steel rope with a sleeve of xc-116 ceramic wick on it and lets just say its a foggy night in San Francisco tonight. I haven't seen this set-up before but seems to work great. Its 1/32 XC-116 Ceramic Wick Kiln Treated over 3/32" Diameter 316 Stainless Steel Wire Rope 7 X 7 Strand Core, . Kind of tricky 2 get the xc-116 over the SS cable but not that hard. The xc-116 runs the full length of the wick. Came up with this Idea a while back and think its pretty good for my 2nd rba. Give it a try.
