Okay, I'm learning stuff!
The mesh wick I cut was 1 1/4" X 1 1/4". This proved to be just the right height to fit inside the wick tube but slightly too wide rolled up, I cut off 1/4" and rolled it on the allen wrench, that proved perfect. So how can I say this...the length of the wick is 1 1/4" and it's rolled along its 1" edge.
I used Rayon. Fed it through the slot made by pushing the mesh aside with a pocket knife, I used "some". I cut it off on either side about 1/4" beyond the side of the atomizer. Could have left it a bit longer. but it wrapped around the post nicely anyway. Using 26 gauge kanthal I made 4 (4 1/2? hmmm) wraps around the post which miraculously yielded my target 1 ohm.
It vapes super! I was very skeptical that it would wick. At all. But it did!!! Very flavorful, warm, and who doesn't love that Strata draw? Nothing like it! I could do this!
I vaped it for about an hour and then hit a big snag. I decided to peek inside the tank to see what was going on in there. Duh, nothing. So I screwed the deck cap back on the tank, wasn't paying attention to what might occur. In the process of screwing it on, the post's threading didn't screw in at the same rate I was turning the cap, thereby unwinding my coil which is now a tangled mess. Ack! It was vaping so well!
I'm done for the day with it but in the mean time, somebody had mentioned ekowool. Does anybody have thoughts about (or even experience with) slipping a piece of hollow ekowool over the post to eliminate the cotton? Do you think 3mm hollow would fit?
