From where do you source the wick you use Steve?

I'm using Bulli wick, and 0.16 kanthal wire from the eBay seller.

clocks I've got tons of the 0.16 wire, there's still well over a 100 metres of it so if you ever need any and it works out at 7p a metre Oh it's Ni-Chrome by the way

Found this little vid on wick/coil making www.bulli-smoker.com/verdampfer-atomizer/bulli-smoker-a1-atomizer-2.html

Is this the wick you are on about steve ? www.bulli-smoker.com/zubehoer2/zubehoer/glasfibre-for-a1-atomizer.html

Yes, that's the wick I use.

I make my coils the way that's shown in the video. A 70mm length of wick, folded in half, and a 0.8mm steel rod as a "splint".
An 80mm length of 0.16 kanthal wire, with 5 tightly-wound. coils for approx 2ohms

Right, I've made all the parts for the first 6, and I'll be assembling them tonight. The other 4 should be done by the weekend.

I'll PM the first 6 people on the list now......

Thanks to everyone for the prompt payment.

Thanks mate.

[deesigner]

Thanks so much Clockworks, can't wait to give it a try

A couple of points for users:



The air inlet hole in the tube is almost in the middle, but not quite. The tube should be fitted so that the hole is 14mm from the bottom, 12mm from the top.

Take care not to overtighten the outside terminal, or you risk breaking the small wire joining the terminal to the attie base. The wire comes up between the black Delrin base and the white silicon plug, and loops around the outer terminal stud, underneath the washer. When fitting a replacement coil, nip the screw up just enough to hold the resistance wire in place. It doesn't need to be very tight.
