Terminator wick

[Chefs Flavours Lew]

I've had a terminator for a couple of weeks and I'm going recoil it tomorrow. I'm sure I saw somewhere that I could use a piece of 2mm and 1mm instead of 3mm? Is there any advantage of doing this? I've currently got 3mm in it at 1.8ohms and its amazing but was wondering if there's any other ways I could try?

Thanks in advance

Hi Lew, I always use 3mm quick with an extra piece at the top where the coil is, so the coil is wound around 6mm 4 turns and the short piece trimmed level with the edge of the ceramic housing so as not to obstruct the juice control when screwed on.Have a look at Scotts vid,(igetcha69)

Hi greigster. I did wonder if I could put a small piece of wick there in there but was worried I would block the tube. So is it 3mm wick only or could I get away with 2mm? Don't want to waste juice if it'll its going to do is leak on me. I'll take a look at Scott's vid now.

Thanks again

The wick in the channels down the sides has to be a tight fit otherwise juice will free flow and flood it.
Even if the wick sits in the channel nice it has to be wound tight or again there will be to much juice and you will get problems.
What you have to bear in mind is that wick lets say 3mm thick is not all the same as some are made looser than others.
Example,,, the 3mm wick I was using (ran out) I had to twist it to get it in there nice and snug, tuck it in with me nail and never had a problem at all in any product design like that.
The 3mm wick i am using now seems to fit in the channel ok but it floods so i have had to run some 1.5mm with it because it is wound more loosely.

Cheers for the reply baconandeggs! I put 3mm in the first time and it was a very tight fit so I was worried to was too snug? So tighter the better then? Going to give greigsters suggestion a go and see how I like it.

I do seem to be getting through a lot more juice but I've put this down to it tasting sooo goood!

Lew, Here is the vid that I was talking about but the part with the wick is at about 11min 45seconds into the Vid.

Here is the link:-


Hope that helps.

The best quality wick I have found is here, I use it for most of my atties but works particularly well in the in the Penelope, Oddy and of course the Naughty/Terminator and I presume the new Euforia( Chinelope)

Thanks, Neil. I'll get some of that.

I watched the vid last night but the OH has decided she wants to paint the living room so guess what happened to my free Saturday?

Lew, you need to put your foot down and let her tell you who is boss.......and ask, if she doesn't mind you ordering some when the decorating is finished
