Iatty wire group purchase

[Lee]

Good stuff Dell! I'm on my second tank of juice, it's been stuck to my mouth every waking moment. I've hardly touched anything else.

[deesigner]

Right I've ordered both the no resistance and the resistance.

It'll work out about 15p a metre for the .236 and 7p a metre for the 0.16 plus postage around 50p unless you want recorded which is another 75p on top.

Think it's pretty darn cheap when I look at how much I've wasted on atties!

Hi All it would be good to get some wick at a reasonable price, would you post to Spain?

[deesigner]

I'm waiting on a price for postage of the wick to the UK, I'd be happy to post it to Spain once we've got some

[eyebrook]

Thanks Dee your a gem

[Dell]

Dee - we're not worthy - we're not worthy

mmmmm - well maybe some of us are heheheheh

Someone on ECF says he gets good results with silica rope. I did a bit of searching and have found this place in the UK. No prices listed so we'd have to fire off an e mail.

Anyone willing to ask?

Hi all re the wick, unfortunately they don't send to the UK, even though they say email for international delivery postage quote they never reply it was also confirmed by an american that they only serve the U.S

So the only way to get it in bulk is if you know a friendly yank who will purchase it and then post it on to the UK, as for the resistance wire, i would just buy what you need from e-bay, if you buy this in bulk and then attempt to split and recoil it for people, trust me it's a nightmare, bloody stuff springs and kinks all over the place, it really will spoil your day lol

UKTarget on UKV has a lot of American contacts as far as i know, i'll see if he can help with a group buy

I emailed them yesterday and had a reply yesterday saying they were happy to ship to the UK but couldn't cost as I'd not stated which wick we wanted

That's great news dee, i have been given bogus info then (rolls sleeves up) and i emailed those buggers about 5 times and no replies, i was very polite as well, glad your nearly sorted

[rawveg]

Please add me to the list for all three consumables too!

[deesigner]

No problem Raw, added. I'll just let everyone know once the wire arrives then everyone can PM me their details and of course pay me

I'm in the process of emailing them. I've also asked if it's safe to use as we will be inhaling the liquid, just want to be sure there's nothing in there that might be dangerous when it's in contact with the heated liquid.

Will let you know as soon as I hear back from them, there again I might just give them a ring in the morning.

[Lee]

Thanks Dee, fingers crossed it's the right stuff and cheap!

[deesigner]

I've just done a few searches and it appears that a lot of modders use the silica wick. I've only found one negative where someone had mentioned the possibility of inhaling wick fibres, hardly going to be a problem in the Iatty! So looks like it's OK. I've gone for the 1/16" or 2mm, will see what they come back with

[Perpetua]

Brilliant Dee, thank you so much for all the time spent doing this!

And, thrilled to hear Dell & Ian have got the Iatty cracked!

[deesigner]

I've just spoken to the guy about the silica wick, I'm in the process of sending him a sample of the wick we're using and he's going to get back to me when he's found something similarly suitable

I don't know anything on minimum orders or costings yet, will keep you updated
