I find .2 Kanthal works for me. It sounds like you may be wrapping the wire too tight around the wick and cutting off the flow of juice. Try winding your wire around the wick and a straightened paperclip or a syringe. 1st) It helps to keep the wick more solid as you wrap. 2nd) The space left when you slide out the paperclip/syringe allows the wick to expand when wet. Yep I use a needle for mine

I use 4 wraps of .02 on 2mm silca, have you got the wick in the juice as it does sound like it is not wicking very well.

I did have a couple of thoughts about the camera flash welder, you could add a simple timer circuit instead of a charge button, this would allow for the charging of the cap more precisely so using something like a 555 timer chip instead of guessing x seconds holding a button down to charge the cap to the correct voltage. or option 2 would be to a voltage monitor circuit to the output to stop charging when the cap is charged to the correct voltage. Also it May be better to mount 2 terminals to hold the wires to be welded onto the box lid rather than trying to touch them together with croc clips.

yeah sorry, they didnt have the option on the vapourart site when i ordered. i think vapist must have pre-ordered a bigger batch. I think the first batch vapist had were all brushed, I ordered one and got a brushed one. I did ask vapist if he had any polished ones but he only had brushed so that is what I ended up with. I would have preferred a polished one though.

All setup and working, I went with Blakey's method as I had some 1mm wick. Seems to vape well, I am not sure how long it will be before I get annoyed by then small pins and the centre unscrewing when I remove the top. It would have been better to have a push fit top IMHO. I quite like an airy draw though.

I've tried Sainsbury's and Tesco burgers and I have to say Tesco wins by a nose.

A woman has been taken to hospital after eating horsemeatburgers. Her condition is said to be stable
Are you in favour of Horsemeat in your burgers? Yay or Neigh?
Those Aldi horse burgers were nice, but I prefer My Lidl Pony

you can add more pg or vg but this will also dilute the flavour You could also by another bottle of the same stuff at a much reduced nic level and mix the two together.

Hi davey and welcome, looks like you already been given some top advice. I hope you enjoy your new kit when it arrives. As already mentioned the service from vape escape is brilliant.

Tis meant to be the year of the Phablet but I am not sure I have the pocket for one. Not cash wise as I can get via a company account but more size wise. I may have to but new shirts with larger pockets.
