I could give you a huge hug right now. I just made a wick literally twice as thick. It just barely fit into the insulator. I popped the insulator out and slowly got the wick inside... 3 wraps. No over wicking. This is great. I also took your advice and made it glow once, and achieved the color you described in PM. Thank you so much, Annie!!!!!



Regular wick, lol
I don't have any nextel. Will look into buying some when work gets off their ... and pays me (they're late by THREE days...)

Lol, ok. I got lost there for a second.

Night Shift check in!

I havent rolled a wick in so long.... I think ill try a piece this size and order some nextel tonight. Love what Im hearing about it!

HiYa Miller! Past several Night Shifts here I've missed you, sniffle-sniffle... where ya been? :cry::rolleyes::p

Thursday's Night Shift I offered to buy some Nextel n share it w/everyone. As a way to give back a little, very little (comparatively), to my Zen~ brothers n sisters new n old. Also, as a good way to celebrate n count down to the release of the Zenesis II system. By Friday evening I had twelve takers n no one had added their name for hours, so I wrapped it up n ordered enough to send everyone a section to try w/out having to buy a bunch themselves.

I purposely bought extra incase there were one or two people who missed the Zen~II Nextel Giveaway. If you're just curious, I'll gladly send you out a section. But if you're "sold" n want to order yourself a bunch for all your PVs, or if you just want it quicker, that's cool too. Just PM me your address (soon) if you decide you want to sample it, I'm sending out enough for you to make mistakes n make a couple good wicks too!

Hi Nate! Annie rocks, doesn't she! She helped me out w/my questions when I first got here n made me feel at home here. Great gal!

Hey, I never heard back today via PM from you, regarding "our" counter offer to your domain buyer. Hit me up on PM :tumble:

BTW, same goes for you, as Miller. Will gladly send you a section of Nextel if you want some. Just PM me your address, soon. I got my tracking number Saturday afternoon, expecting it to arrive Tues or Wed. I've already got several envelopes stamped n addressed, ready to go, cause I'm going to divvy it up n mail it out the same day i get it.

Morning! I got a small section of Nextel at a little vape meet on Saturday. Haven't had time to try it as I've been trying to keep the dog in the yard all weekend, to no avail. A friend came and helped me block his escape routes. My feeble attempts were not the best.

Hope this week is less eventful than last week. The weather is suppsed to be cooler, in the 70-80 degree range, which is much more reasonable IMO.

I might have a little deal in the works to get Z2.....

hey man! I appreciate the generosity but i bit the bullet and ordered some earlier! I should find some use for it :)

Currently Ive had a few extra days off here and there and when Im off I spend less time on the forums..... next weekend starts the beginning of my ridiculously long vacation and I am super excited!

Also trying to decide wether or not to bite the bullet on a brass RBA. With so much cool stuff coming out soon I really dont want to spend the money lol. Ive also been contemplating selling my cobalt to put towards the Z2 fund. I know, I know, im crazy right? was my first ever zen. But not sure how much ill use it if I start investing in some modular mix n' match stuff haha

How long is a "ridiculously long vacation"? Got any plans?

Which brass RBA are you considering?

Your cOBalt blem, eh? Hmmm..... I remember how bad we both wanted one when we found out blemished ones were gonna be available under $200.....

vaca starts on thursday the 6th and I dont go back till the 22nd. Road tripping it down to tennessee for a music festival on the 12th. Cant wait to see sir paul mccartney!

The brass RBA i think is called the annunaki sun from epipe mods.... I think its a very limited run and its awesome looking.

Yeah took a while for us to grab our first Zens :vapor: which is why I hate even thinking about getting rid of it. As long as I still use it it will be in my collection.... if the time finally comes and It starts collecting dust it might have to be passed on :)

***Zen~II Nextel Giveaway****

I still need addresses PM'd to me from a couple of you on the list for a section of Nextel Wick. I'm expecting it to be delivered tomorrow or Wednesday.

I already have all the addresses, that I do have, written on envelopes w/stamps because I'm going to mail them the day I get the Nextel. Will have em all mailed before I even let myself set up my MFA, promise!

BTW:
1) No, I didn't get orange colored Nextel delivered Sunday
2) Yes, it's a rattlesnake in the picture, appx 3 1/2' long. Still to young/little to have more than the first row of buttons (rattles)

:tumble:

I've taken apart a few of the stock wicks and very little mesh is actually used. I use easily 3 or 4x the amount of mesh. And they fit fine in the insulator and aren't very straw like.. Anybody have a photo of what they consider a "fat" wick?

A "fat" wick consists of either 400x400 wraped inside 325x325 or a piece of your choice of wick-200, 250, 325,400 rolled loose and with a big diamiter straw like or tight with a big diamiter and solid., these variations, which works for your particular application of juice blend, is the one for you.

Well, I've never unrolled a stock zen wick. I suppose my Nextel mesh was about 1/2" by 2" making the wick 2" long just for ease of handling since I didn't stuff it all the way to the end and I just clip off the excess Nextel and mesh. I did roll it pretty hard and make a point on one end. Most of the time the mesh was sticking out of the mesh on the top when I begin rolling the coil. I've also never measured any mesh for a wick. It is nice to see Chris' measurements and I was thinking about getting out the tape measure, but I haven't done it yet.

Bb, how thick did you make the inner mesh wicks? Stock zen wick size?

Evening everyone! Just watched the CB and Zen video all the way through today. What a great watch.... and great show Cbabe!

On another note.... looks like zen and matt from epipemods beat me to the pipe idea. Looks like I probably wont be moving forward with that now :p
The good part is that my two absolute favorite mod designers are banding together to hopefully create what would be my unicorn device! I really have high hopes!

So whats everyone getting on launch day? :)

Don't give up! You've got B-macs and Waprs----Sers and Maces, Blondes and Brunetts

Yeah, I overwick too at times. Still trying to find that happy point where it's tightly rolled.. but not so tight that it's too loose inside my insulator and the wick slides around when I'm trying to wrap my coils.. More mesh, I assume :blink:

Also, wooot! Getting close guys!!

Zenesis 2 Launch Countdown!

Yea, i think the size is 50x50 mm on the mesh size for a tightly rolled, no straw, with 500x500mesh?
