wicking distance....

[Lance_Wallen]

I'm working on a built in rba, part of my design ends up having a pretty thick 'center' piece. To the tune of ~18mm. Is that too much material for the wicking to go through? To help illustrate what I'm asking, please see my horribly crude diagram.

turns out to be 19.175mm exactly not counting air in the juice tank or the few milimeters it has to go to get up to the coil once its in the coil chamber.

I'm more of a picture driven person. Got any 3d/2d renderings?

... don't know The Zen comes in at roughly 11mm and the Cobra 14. Hope this helps.

If you plan on having the wick tight and thick in the hole, it sounds like this leads to problems with a long hole. If it is slightly loose, not so much. Somewhere, you can find mod of raidy's that has the wick in a long thin tube with a tank at the end of it.

yeah, I had to scratch the plan that spawned this question as it's entirely too complicated to assemble.
Thanks for the responses though.
