This is my second mesh wick I have ever made...
After reading about not oxidizing my mesh wick and just dry burning my coil I decided to try it. Mind you this is after the sever PITA time I had with my DuD getting that wick to work, which is now working.
I rolled up my mesh that came with the DuD, i believe it is 325, for my phoenix rba i had a vert cotton wick in. I rolle dthe mesh really tight and then wrapped a 32g coil for 2.4 ohms around a jewelers screwdriver. I took the coil off the screw driver, used a lighter to heat it to red a couple of times then installed it on the phoenix. Dry burned it about 3 times at 3v, then took it up to 4v and dry burned 3 more times.
I took my mesh wick, completely un-oxidized for this test and tried to fit it in the coil, it was too tight so i cut a bit of it off until i could slide it in with slight resistance all the way to the bottom. I put three drops of some nasty liquid on the wick, lit it with a lighter and blew it out before it could melt the plastic insulators on the posts.
Pushed the power button and had a couple of shorts, nudged them from the bottom up, I guess I have my pos connected at the bottom. Now it has settled back at 2.4 ohms and this took me literally 10 min after I got my wick rolled.
Am I missing something cause this was FAR easier than the oxidizing the mesh before rolling, rolling, oxidizing again, process. Im vaping on it now with zero issues, though i do need to open the air hole up.
