You oxidize the mesh with a torch.
The nice thing about RSSTs is the hole for the wick is insulated. No shorts.
I see, said the blind man..... Thanks
My recoiling journey started on z-atty pro's and I loved the taste of my menthols on mesh wicks. My only issues were the overall weight and the fact it seemed to leak everytime I started to trust it
I suppose with all the new tanks around it should be something I should try again. (Just for a play)I did buy a nextgen last year but I broke the glass while I was dismantling and cleaning it for the first time. I took it as an omen (I am big on omens) and never got around to replacing it.
Jus my(I pinch em hard too!)
Say what? $50 a month on Kanger coils? That's flabbergasting to me, like $20 over my monthly vape allowance!
Was recently given 2 brand new Tootle RTAs that I'll probably never use. The Kayfun Clone is just ugly as sin. The Lemo looks pretty good but too reminiscent of a jig saw puzzle. Both twice the size of my PT2s. Eh.
If you're wicking your Kayfun with something other than silica I wonder if that's where a lot of the improvement is coming from?
Well, the reason I went looking for alternatives a couple of years ago was during the time that Kanger went through a quality control issue with their coils that utilized a non-resistive leg on each side of the coil. People were complaining about burn marks on the rubber center contact insert where the wire legs made contact with the coil housing and the center contact. Hot legs were burning rubber/silicone insulators and people were worried about inhaling that.
So, they changed to a multi-segment coil that used the standard center coil with non-resistive legs on each side. Since the legs weren't resistive they didn't get hot and burn the rubber. What did melt was the solder that they used to connect the pieces of the three piece coil. I understand that later they moved to wire welded coil legs and that solved the problem.
While they were using the soldered legs the coils were only lasting a day or so because when the solder melted the coil rose in resistance and eventually went to an open state. We all got tired of buying a 5 pack of coils every 5 days.

I had 1 of those rubber hits on the first draw of the last factory coil I put in my old eGrip.
Gaaack!
Not worth the hype!I did buy a nextgen last year but I broke the glass while I was dismantling and cleaning it for the first time. I took it as an omen (I am big on omens) and never got around to replacing it.
It never leaks but still not worth the amount of work required to get decent build with no hot spots. You can't beat an Origenny for flavor and performance with a mesh build, either single or dual.
This was the only decent, lasting build I ever managed to get on the Nextgen. A little EoM (Ekowool over Mesh) with 0.5 ribbon Kanthal, no hot spots and great wicking.
I am such a sook when I hear songs with meaning sung with passion
(If they have a good voice as well)
Then there are people like me, who love having a variety. I've kicked none to the curb, and whichever I'm using, at the time, also happens to be my favorite, at the time.
Gotta love vapin'..
Cool, one of my favourites...
There is a train that comes from Namibia and Malawi
there is a train that comes from Zambia and Zimbabwe,
There is a train that comes from Angola and Mozambique,
From Lesotho, from Botswana, from Swaziland,
From all the hinterland of Southern and Central Africa.
This train carries young and old, African men
Who are conscripted to come and work on contract
In the golden mineral mines of Johannesburg
And its surrounding metropolis, sixteen hours or more a day
For almost no pay.
Deep, deep, deep down in the belly of the earth
When they are digging and drilling that shiny mighty
evasive stone,
Or when they dish that mish mesh mush food
into their iron plates with the iron shank.
Or when they sit in their stinking, funky, filthy,
Flea-ridden barracks and hostels.
They think about the loved ones they may never see again
Because they might have already been forcibly removed
From where they last left them
Or wantonly murdered in the dead of night
By roving, marauding gangs of no particular origin,
We are told. they think about their lands, their herds
That were taken away from them
With a gun, bomb, tear gas and the cannon.
And when they hear that Choo-Choo train
They always curse, curse the coal train,
The coal train that brought them to Johannesburg.
