So I'm researching rolling wicks for future endeavors and it seems there are two schools of thought, tightly rolled, and straw type wicks. I'd like to keep em as close to 3mm outside diameter as possible as I'd like to fill the entire wick hole. According to the tomcatt pv calculator app, a tightly rolled 3mm wick would be 141mm (5.55") of mesh material. This seems excessive to me, so perhaps a loosely rolled, straw type wick would work better for wicking and flavor... Then there's the dual wick method. I'm looking specifically for advice from anyone who uses a 3mm wick, and can give measurements on lengths of material to use. Any thoughts from the Genesis/iHybrid veterans?
Morning from Melbourne
Yeah I'm going to have to use something diff cause this uploader gives me probs sometimes.
Maybe just try do it from dropbox.
yea bro....i got to check out blaines, emma's and tim's on saturday. I was very impressed...I had already decided to pick one up before then.. thanks to face and emma, I'm also having one designed as we speak![]()
I just cut a strip of mesh to the height I want, start rolling, and when it seems about right, trim it and finish rolling it up...
Rest of the strip lies in wait until another wick is needed.
Clearly, very scientific.
Across all my devices, It'd be a lot to say I roll one wick in a given month, unless of course I pick up a new toy..
In a pinch you can use the ones from HoH
Good advice there, and I know from the wick you rolled, you're a tight wick guy. I don't plan on rolling many wicks, just figured I'd throw a line out and see if there were some tried and true measurements to write down.
FYI to some crappy peeps, the cookie flavoring and tangerine play pretty well together...
I've been using Imgur, its been pretty solid..
I figured that after I put two and two together. Blaine, vape meet, Emma, Tim. You were done before you said hello! It's a great CONSISTANT device.
Is size for standard or mini HOH quartz?

Not entirely sure. I was just regurgitating what I've heard here. You'll have to check with the experts for sure what size.
Honestly it's prob the standard not the mini. The tank on my iHy is pretty large! I only have to fill it 3-5 times a day as opposed to 2x an hour with my ChiD.
and since emma mentioned it now, it's also gonna be named "Hell Raiser"
I use a 3inch wide piece of mesh and before i start rolling it i fold the edge over a tiny bit probably 1/8", then i roll it pretty tight.. once its rolled i will take the wick and roll it btwn my fingers the opposite way so it loosens it a little bit and it will completely fill the wick hole... you will have a very tiny bit of a straw style with a solid style wick all in one if that makes sense... if done correctly once broken in you should be able to vape at the 4-5oclock position with constant wickingSo I'm researching rolling wicks for future endeavors and it seems there are two schools of thought, tightly rolled, and straw type wicks.
