Got one of these coming from eciglondon, which is best stainless mesh or stainless wire for wicking?

[digicig]

Don't know what is the best - i use 500 mesh and .25 Kanthal mainly from the Vape-Mesh Company

digicig can you tell me what difference 300/400/500 mesh makes I have not had a lot to do with rebuildables only a few failed attempts with a did clone?

[digicig]

How well it will wick - generally considered the higher the number the better the wicking - not that i've noticed a huge difference between 400 and 500 TBH - just have an A3 sheet of 500

I found that stainless rope wick (7×7) wrapped with 400 mesh works well for me..

Mesh is the same length as the rope, wrapped tightly at the top and very loose at the bottom.

Wicks like a champ and gives wonderful flavour and throat hit!

i use stainless rope (7 x 19) with 100% VG juice and i can't dry burn it no matter how hard i try!

[Wobblybootie]

I use 2mm 7 X 19 rope with a 400 mesh wrap and Kanthal 20, but only from the point where the rope exits the tank.

I will have to give the full length mesh a go next time I recoil ...

How many coils around the wick would you recommend?

[digicig]

I use 3-4 of .25 Kanthal - usually comes out at around 1.4ish Ohms - depending on the device thee are going to use it on.

Thanks digicig just collected it from PO, looks like a cracking piece of kit for only £19.20 all in from eciglondon.
A bit larger than i expected but no probs, I think i'm going to try wire rope with a top cap of mesh for the coil with as you say 3/4 wraps & see how it performs.
Chears all.

Good luck denis - tis easier to set up than the AGA's - at least for me - try the airhole as is - easy enough to make a little bigger if needed (under-wicking issues made me do it with a Dremel-a-like)

Managed to get round to wicking the rsst this weekend after getting through the list of work the wife left as she was working weekend bless her ;-)
funny how i get a list & when she is off, if its the other way round she is always to busy.
Anyway cut & oxidised the 2 mm rope, cut & wrapped the 400 mesh on the top section, fitted .25 kanthal 3 wrapps, put it on the evic & got 1 ohm then the attomiser short message, placed it on the vamo lo ohms.
Put it on my mech mod with fresh 18350 & manage to get it pulse oxidised, filled it up with strawberry menthol 70/30 it vapes but not a lot of vaper or flavour & keep getting dry burns, any suggestions?

As I said earlier.. 2mm rope with a full length mesh skirt. (wrap mesh tight around the rope at the top and really loose at the bottom)

Oxidise the whole of the rope but only the part of the mesh that will be touched by the coil.

3 wraps kanthal 0.20 ~1.5ohms and away you go...

Never ever had a dry burn or anything with that setup and the flavour was awesome for a gennie! Try it!

Thanks Dan will give it a go with full mesh & .20 kanthal instead of the .25 maybe its because of the gap around the rope not drawing the liquid up.
