Why oh why can't I post a goram picture in this joint.
Ha, phonie phoenix. Yup, I got two that look like that. They work great. I'd pay more for one that uses ceramic instead of plastic insulators though.
Anybody try this on a Genesis style atty? It seems like easier than rolling my own wicks and it might wick faster.
Don't have a Genesis style atty yet but about to!
I agree,although the delrin doesn't need to be that long.I've been thinking of removing the posts and trimming it.
I was hunting around the house last night for potential wicks and found my wifes sewing basket. Inside the basket I found this... Or at least something like it.

It 100% cotton and very thin. I dont know if it is woven or braided or what but it is very... stringy? while still holding together very well. I Used the white and boiled the crud out of it. (on a phoenix) I used three short sections, coil in the middle. Two wicks from each side of the coil went in to the cup and one wick from each side of the coil went up in to the barrel.
My First atempt was too tight and it popped like crazy. The second attempt was much better. It is very loose but still some popping. The second coil which I am using now came out to 2.2 ohms which I suspect is because I made it so loose. I am currently running it at 4.2V The wicking is incredible and vapor is good but the flavor and TH seem muted.
There is a little bit of discoloration or blackening around the coil but I cant really tell if it is juice build-up or the wick charring. I have kept the wick very wet and detected no dry hits so I think it is juice crud causing this.
Has anyone else tried the floss?

Does your wife know you stole her embroidery thread?

OK, this starting to get confusing.
GotVapes has a bottom coil (CE3) and a top coil (CE2) that are "Phoenix"
Someone is making the Phoenix rebuildable (dripping) atty (i.e. MOV Phoenix Rebuildable Atomizer | Mountain Oak Vapors Premium Tennessee E-Liquid)
Come on peoples, there's plenty of words out there to call something, don't use the same ones for different things
That's why I don't support shops who choose to "rebrand" hardware under their own names. Keeping track of stuff is hard enough as it is without retailers intentionally adding to the confusion. I guess they think if it's hard enough to find the same product at another shop we'll stick to buying it from them.
I hear ya but you must be running out of places to shop...Iphone, re-branded Samsung Galaxy...Firebird, re-branded Camaro, virtually every patented drug gets re-branded once the patent lapses...virtually every cell phone network has been re-branded at least once...I don't know where you are but I can almost be sure your pro sports stadium has been re-branded to some corp. name, etc...sucks but it's how it is...

Sorry for the OT but that was hilarious.
Pretty odd article seeing as Apple doesn't "make" anything...they purchase tech then pay someone to put it together...considering most of iphone's retina displays, main processors, mother boards, flash mem., etc are made by Samsung...then sue Samsung for making their product too much like their's?...Apple should be going after Google/Android but they'd get crushed, so go for the low hanging fruit I guess?...clear case of Patent Trolling (there's an app for that )
anyway, back to cotton
)anyway, back to cotton
I know it seems like everyone boils the cotton , but what about the cheesecloth?
I don't...I use the cheese cloth right out of the package, 20 mins. of break-in and done.
I am guessing you have to roll the cheesecloth up like a wick? Do you all use a certain grade or cheesecloth? I have seen ones with different gauges?
The gauge/grade of cheese cloth doesn't matter (I got some finer mesh cheese cloth, used for making jams/jellies, even though there's more of them, the threads appear the same size as my first cheese cloth)...I do a thread count so you can zero in on what works for you (so it's repeatable), i.e., I've found that 50 threads in my Ody is about perfect and I run 75 in my SGV3 (inserts removed, massive wicking, massiver nic headache ) then make your wicks like this, no frays, clean, piece of cake...
) then make your wicks like this, no frays, clean, piece of cake...Just wanted to say thank you to everyone in this thread!
I've stood on the shoulders of giants, and this morning recoiled my Vivi Nova with gauze.
I used 6 turns of 38swg Kanthal to make a 4 ohm coil, which I'm running at 4.5V, compared to 4.2V on the 2.8 ohm I had in before, and I'm getting huge clouds of vapour with a much bigger kick to boot!
The only 'problem' I've got is how to put it down!

If you interview any only wanting to do 10 minutes, send them my way, I'll split the difference with her.
