My DID clone is still on the way, but from my experiences on other devices, large diameter wicks are slow to heat up, and will make the vape quite lame. I have experimented on Phoenix RDAs, Vivi Nova Mini and Kanger T2. Seems that 3mm is already too large for those, requiring a whole lot more power to get even a mediocre vape. A tight solid pole of SS mesh is ofcourse even worse than silica/cotton. But a DID does work a bit differently, so I don't know if it might be worth a shot.

Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers
Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

Hey, it works LOL...

Wow. That's pretty awesome Dan. Nice work! Any performance increase with this method vs. a traditional wrapped coil? Or are you already uploading that vid now?
okay, you really got me now 
going out to get me a few! Let's see a vid on this bad boy

Oh and BTW I did this wick on my bench grinder to see if it could be done. Looks good to me. And was easier than the cut off wheel. Still need that for slicing the blanks off to shape.
Dan
Gotta watch that middle finger on the grinding wheel. lol Got a stone today. Looks promising.
How did you get the plastic ends off without destroying the stone?
Edit: FWIW. This stuff cuts and shapes like butter on hot cornbread when wet.

Ok Dan. Now we want to see you make one with a 90 bend in it so that it goes right over nice and snug against the air hole so that air has no option other than to go through the coil.
The only catch is you have to do this while standing on your head with your eyes closed.
Nice work!

Still playing with it, but initially it looks promising. Better vapor production.
Dan
Diamond wheel to cut the ends off.
And your correct, I have been soaking these in water prior to cutting. No dust and cuts easier.
Dan
Why not wrap the whole thing the way it is or put the coil in da ole. Ya know, Go big or go home. LOL
10-4 good buddy....got me a couple feet of kanthal wrapped a purrdy ol coil, hooked up the battery out of the truck...ohhweee did she put out like my cousin

If you want low suicide rates, buy from Foxconn INSTEAD of USA. That's the power of media, people can easily be made painting the wrong picture.
"ABC News[66] and The Economist[67] both reported in 2010 that the suicide rate of Foxconn employees is lower than the overall suicide rate in China."
Foxconn suicide rate in the worst year of 2010: 1.14 per 100 000:
Foxconn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
US suicide mortality 12 per 100 000:

Sorry about the OT.
I just used pliers and pulled them off. The plastic caps only go so far into the center tube. I just torched the ends a lot more once shaped because of the glue possibility.
I'll definitely be using some water to make my second one.

someone asked about using regular tools to cut the air stone....just for fun i tried the good old hack saw and it cut it like butter the first cut....but by the time i cut my 6" piece in half and the ends off it was dull.
So yes it will work, but kind of a pita

As an FYI, and to those using the AGA attys, the small length tube will fit perfectly without having to trim, and it's a bit less expensive. So if that's all they have, grab it.
Be stoppin' at my local PetSmart tomorrow after work - hope there aren't a lot of vapers or fish enthusiasts around here...
I also know of another non big-name pet supply around me that carries a lot of aquarium supplies, if PS doesn't pan out.

You do get better vape production with coil inside than you do a wrap around. Your set up is different than mine and it would be nice if you were able to completely encase the coil with an air access. By splitting the upper portion some way. That way you can save on coil replacement and just dry burn.Hey, it works LOL...
Dan
Also, if the leads to the coil are some what imbedded in the stone then you could safely wrap the stone with filler to aid in liquid absorption, without the filler burning. The caveat to added filler in your set up, is that it may get to much liquid in the upper chamber.
Before I cut and shape my wick, a thought crossed my mind. We can have either a thicker piece above the wick hole, where the coil is applied OR we could have a thicker section inside the tank, if the wick is inserted through the wick hole from beneath the hole. My thinking is, would it provide better wicking to the coil section if the part below the wick hole was much thicker? Just a thought .......
