robby just wondering if sweet/fruit juices would work better than they do with mesh.

Gonna give it some Liqua cittrus in a bit mate

 Just put the Cittrus Mix in it, if anything the Cittrus hit I was getting before from the dripper is a bit muted, loads of vapour though. Could be the taste buds though, not long after dinner. 

..................just tried the dripper and the flavour, cittrus hit is a bit better in it. Maybe the AGA S needed a bit more of a clean out

Hi Pezz & Neil.

What size kanthal are you using and how many wraps giving you a resistance of what ???

thanks.

jeffc

(Disclaimer:  Only the fourth coil I've ever done)

4 wraps of 0.2mm kanthal - Currently showing 2ohms, it started at 1.7ohms

Just ordered a metre of 2 and 3mm cable. Thanks robby for bringing this to my attention.

Looks good.

Soooo, is it any good for non-baccy ?

I just noticed that Todd seemed to be using 7/19 wire and robby has 7/7 in his link.

I wonder if there is a difference? Must be some.

[robby]

It`s difficult to say womble, bit of a "suck it and see" thing really. All I can say is the stuff I am using is working great. Be interesting to see if someone else uses the other stuff. I suppose the capillary action will be different in the other stuff, but better or worse? who knows
All I can say is that the SS mesh was a bit of a pain for me and I got varying wicking performance with the mesh. I dont seem to have to tilt the device with this stuff and it is certainly easier to get going well. I am surprised though, I thought the fine mesh would have been far better for wicking, but not so from my point of view  The flat kanthal may be a big factor as well.

[womble]

Mesh does have varying wicking qualities, no doubt, it seems a knife edge to me, either it works well, or it doesn't work.

This does look really good and easy, I keep thinking that rebuildable ecigs have reached a new plateau, but it seems to keep getting better

Can't wait to get mine now!

[robby]

There seems to be a true capillary action with this stuff whereas I would compare SS mesh more to a blotting paper effect, but it will be handy to try around the top of the Cable wick to spread the juice out. Although I have to say I am not getting any dry hits at all. Gonna have to get an RSST now lol.

Peeps, there is no way the 3mm is fitting in an AGA-T ...

Hi all,
Just thought I would put your minds at rest, the difference in the wire is the what they call the lay, 7/7 & 7/19 is one is constructed of 7 sets of 7 strands the other has 7 sets of 19 strands the more strands the more flexible the cable, it also if you look at the cross section there is more space between the sets of strands which may help with wicking on the 7/7 variety.
Also if you notice they wrap the 7 wires opposite way to the 7 strands to make up the cable to stop twisting similar to normal rope.

Will it drill out at all @ashmal? There seems to be a fair bit of space around the 2 mm stuff in my AGA S

Guess it makes it simpler ... One Wire To Wick Them All ...

Interesting ... my 2mm in my AGA-S is perfectly snug ...
