okay Hybreeds, I need your help. Using the Peter K method, I wrapped what appears to be a 3/4 30awg kanthal coil around a pre-made wick from good prophets, on a iHy std. On dry-burns (or basically anytime it's not soaked), it appears that the entire coil glows, so I don't think that I have any hot spots. I'm concerned because it feels like pretty much half of my hits are dry, even though I am holding the device in the air to help wicking.

Would appreciate any suggestions, I'm guessing it's an issue with wicking, but would like your expert opinions.

Ya it sounds like an issue with the wick to me. What are you using? 400?

Wow I was biotchy last night, my nerves must have been fried after fighting holiday traffic and driving to multiple stores yesterday trying to find the wife an iPad mini for Xmas. My apologies to face and everyone for my complaining, that's not my normal way.

Me too buddy, me too :( I'm still bummed but it's a new day. Some part of me felt like I deserved one and that is just wrong. If somebody wants multiples then who am I to argue with that. I'll get one next year sometime :)

Yes, I did notice that the wick does not fill the wick hole; I'll build one and see how that works out. It is clear through top to bottom, but perhaps I am just ring let down by a wick that has too little diameter. Not sure what mesh thy are using, but I have 400 and 500 from steam monkey that I can try. Just need to go buy some butane...

ETA: and thanks for the help!!

The site says they are using 400, it doesn't say if they are using 304 or 316 ss, the 316 does do a lot better than the 304 no matter if it is the 325, 400, 500's or the 600's stuff. And if you are doing the PetarK Method, you don't need the butane, just do your juice burns after to help with wicking.

Hey everyone I feel a little guilty about buying the switch as honestly I didn't know I was getting a new one with my HR. Sure i have other ihy but one new switch is good for now. If somebody who is verified missed out and is bummed pm me you can have it for cost.
Thanks Rise. Like your avi but I've been a cheesehead since Superbowl I

What's up k-man! You have any luck scoring a synth from the Dominican?
All is good Stacy. Just sitting at the Puerto Plata airport. I'm anxious to get home but stuck with a 2 hour delay. But I will sleep in my own bed tonight so I'm good :) And yes. I was fortunate to score a Synthesis. Sorry you didn't, but you know our man Face, he never rests and there will be plenty more.
