stainless steel wick for the RTA

[Gordy]

those little gas torches are great... i have one that has soldering iron bits you can put on the end with an adjustable flame from maplin when they were on sale

tried buying ss mesh off ebay yesterday, the guy calls up today and tells me he is out ggggrrrrr

[Perpetua]

Looking forward to hearing the outcome of all these experiments.

Right, I've oxidised a wick, fitted a coil, gonna vape the juice thats in the RTA and try fitting it all tomorrow. It was really easy to do which means that the wick is not going to fit in the holes when I try it Something is bound to go wrong, it all went too smoothly
If this works ok then I'm gonna try experimenting with the RDA

As I expected, the wick was too thick but not to be outdone, I cut it down and fitted it to the RDA, I trimmed the end of it at a 45degree angle so that the end went flush with the base and WOW, 1.2ohm coil nearly took my head off but what Flavour
That spurred me on
I then made a new thinner wick for the RTA, due to the fact that I have a newer version unit with the terminal contact points inside the tank I had to make very sure the wick was totally oxidised because it would be very hard for it not to touch when it was inserted, so I torched that mesh 9 times all over before I doused it in pg and set fire to it 5 times before I coiled it. It was an absolute bustud to get this wick in such a position that it could reach just above the base and my swear box is bursting at the seams
But I got there in the end, coiled at 1.4ohms I filled it with whiskey cream and pressed the button, Again WOW, such an intense flavour, I never knew that whiskey cream could taste this good It was a bit worrying when the juice turned a very dark brown as the soot from the wick mixed with it but that will dissipate after a couple of fills. Verdict, it's a real pain in the arse to fit on a newer version RTA but the rewards are just superb. Not sure I want to go through this each time the coil blows mind you
But knowing me I will

But it is a rite pain init, The RDA isn't to bad, but that RTA of mine nearly ended up in the bin a few times
Well done Blakey, and that coil should last ages before it needs changing, what's next then a genesis line
