Stainless Steel Wool for wick?

[reverser]

Has anyone given this a try?

Steel Wool Pads and Reels by VALUE BRAND - Steel Wool by Zoro Tools Industrial Supplies
Curious how it might work as compared to ss mesh.

 

[SupplyDaddy]

interesting. But that cost is prohibitive .. not sure someone has tried or not..

I would think hot spots would be an absolute nightmare

 

[scrappy]

This could be promising.

Yikes not so fast lol because of how fine the strands are steel wool is flammable

I just did something tonight just for the hell of it and put my health on the line. I just tried regular steel wool in my RSST..... OMFG! this works AWESOME! no hot spots perfect wicking and no weird/metal flavors! and NOOOO burnt taste ever! I'll probably get called an idiot but I just had to try it. I am so ordering stainless steel wool but so far it is by far the best vape I have EVER EVER had and I will no longer look at mesh, cotton, hemp, ceramic or any other types of wicks the same again, It's so trouble free on the RSST because of the insulated wick hole, The coil setup I tried was a micro coil and for the wick I just used the same method for stringing cotton through a coil. I can hold the fire button for 1 min straight and it just puts out massive vapor and doesn't quit. Big problem is now that I discovered this and how awesome it vapes I can't put it down even knowing the steel wool "could" be harmfull but again I am getting no flavors of metal or anything. Just thought I'd post my findings
cheers

Glad it worked out for you. Just understand that there are risks associated with what you plan to do, so please be careful and plan accordingly.

Can you make reservations at your local hospital.... Just in case

I understand the risk be it chemical or mechanical. the most important thing is if anybody tries this do NOT dry burn the wick as it will catch fire in short order, any time you put power through it make sure its wet and you should be fine. Since my last post I've rebuilt and tested 5 times and each time was a winner with no wool glowing or flames. I can't be first person to try this I wouldn't think?

Just another update, I chain vaped this for 45 mins straight and not one dry hit with no tiping required. I'm all ear to ear.

if the SS wool pans out like the steel wool does maybe I can quit buying vape gear and buy more juice!

Just sourced some SS wool at a very good price but due to a lot of bills this month I was only able to purchase 1 kind to test. Stainless Steel 316L Wool Pads Medium | eBay they also have coarse and fine as well, will report back on how the medium grade works when I get it.

 

[Daytony]

Got the SS wool in, no go the medium is like an extra heavy coarse in regular steel wool and cant do anything with it as it is very springy... deemit I give up lol

 

[pdib]

Dude, I thought you were on this thing! Make it happen! I'm rooting for ya'!

... deemit I give up lol
