Wicks for Iatty

[ko4ik]

Decided to open a new thread.
interested in hearing about your experiments with others wicks in Iatty

This is the wick Ko. Its the thin one (1,2mm width) that is bend to make 3 rows

View attachment 45711

This is the top 5 wicks of 9 that I tried, the rest gave poor results

1. I got from you, Imeo
2. thinner fiberglass wick than yours, produced in Russia, by the result does not differ
3. from CE2 r5 - gives a slightly sweet taste and too fragile
4. by Cetin that comes with Bulli-Smoker A2 Atomizer - better than wick from CE2 but also too fragile
5. hollow silica rope, many people prefer it to repair Giantomizers It's also good as wick that comes with the Iatty, but can withstand higher temperatures

The one that you have picture, as far as I could consider, is very similar to wick that comes with A2

For me, the best result gives the twisted coil ​​wrapped around folded 4 times silica rope.

and twisted coil with fiberglass wick on top, as Imeo does

Did you happen to get the silica rope in the US or did you get it locally?

 

[Titan Vapes]

will the cone still fit over that?

 

[Rick.45cal]

Will you explain the twisted coil to me, I seem to remember seeing something, but I missed the details of how and why to do it. Thank you.

I am looking forward to see what innovations we as a community come up with for I atty, Thanks for getting the ball rolling. I am waiting on some #400 ss Mesh, I have a few ideas on a hybrid concept I will share as soon as I try them.

I ordered silica rope from the Russian factory, but I saw in the US too

# 3 is very similar to the one that I use
but better check with them, is it suitable for use in the electronic cigarettes on environmental indicators or not?

Yes, fits perfectly

I am using right now the "3" from macmasters as you said Ko. It still vapes very nice. I put it on the Iatty at noon, that is about 10 hours now

Sorry for my English, but I do not know what else to call.
I mean like this

you are welcome
ss mesh I haven't tried yet, it's interesting I will wait results with impatience

And what feelings, compared with fiberglass wick, better or the same?

 

[eyebrook]

thanks for ko4 that learning all the time

 

[lordbyron77]

tnk

tnk

I do not know yet, and therefore ordered the 12 types of suitable sizes
When I get, I'll say what size and type is best in my opinion

Imeo - The smallest diameter listed by Macmasters is 1/4" which is about 6.5mm which is too big I thought. How do you use it? Do you unbraid it?

Edit: Has anyone looked at Silica Yarn or Silica Roving? It comes in smaller diameter sizes.

 

[mwa102464]

Has anybody thought to take the newer type filler that is in the dual coil Cartos, or any other filler type material and twist up a length of it and wrap the wire around this material for your wick ? I think this may work rather well, I haven't tried it as of yet but if anyone gets a chance please post on it when you can if you try this.

MWA did you get yourself an iAtty? I'd love to hear your opinions about it.

I did, I think it is a very good product Silent. I want to try to use the filler from a carto instead of the rope and wrap it with the wire with this newer carto filler, if any of the GG guys try this please post how it works. I would also like to see Imeo make one like the Genesis or G-tank but in his own version, his very own version. I think that would be very interesting to say the least.

maybe its a little better Ko but I have to keep this setup for a while so I will be able to see the contiton of the wick after e.g. 3 days of use

I dont mean the width, I mean the material Captain. I bought a very thick wick and I took fibers from it. I took 12 fibers if I remember well. If you find on macmasters 1/16 it would be nice

The wick that came with the Iatty is great (good thing as I have half a spool). But I put a different wick in my Iatty this morning and it is even better. I would recommend Nextel Braided Ceramic Very High Temperature Sleeving it is ceramic and I am loving it. I will say I have only been using it for about 2 hours, so I will report back in a couple of days.
