this tank i tell you... I threw on it a clapton wire just as an experiment and to my surprise(or not...) it works beautifully.
SS304/V2A made with 28G core and 32G wraps.
0.53Ohm at 240C wicked with rayon. the flavor and vapor of this thing is out of this world. (direct lung inhaler)
i ordered a peek insulator so i can be at peace. hope it will fit there since it is designed for a clone.
happy vaping to all :)

Soooo...
I am liking the SS tanks for the 2nd KM3.
Looks really good on a GMZ 2.5--pics later.
I do miss seeing the bubbles rise o_O

Question, please--I have started to have some seepage/sweating at the base of the original KM3 (with the original glass tank.) I haven't changed the AFC screw and have not noticed a change in draw. I did tighten up the 510 connector and noted some improvement.

But within a day or so, the seepage is noticeable once again.

If this has been noted/addressed elsewhere, please link me--big thread here and I don't/can't always keep up. Any suggestions, ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

Also, @Pinggolfer --
I have not forgotten about the HHV Fresh Grindz impression I promised!
It continues to steep as I continue to suffer from an enduring virus that has rendered my tastebuds null and void.

Hate it when that happens, meh :cry:

@Pokeygizmo I had that same seepage you are. My wick was pretty gnarly sonI changed it and the issue went away. I've been trying to keep ahead of that and seems so far so good. I love how easy it is to swap in a new wick and this rig seems a lot less temperamental than the K4 with regards to wick.

It's wick changing day--I tend to put it off longer than I should :blink:

Will give that a go and report back!!

A couple of pages back I mentioned that my wick needed changing after 4 days, well the next wick lasted only 2 days before it was producing almost no vapor and a burnt taste. I decided it might be time to recoil and all is good again.

So my question is how often are you guys recoiling your km3's? With my previous tanks I could go a month without recoiling by dry burning the coil and a quick rinse. This last coil in the km3 lasted a little less than 2 weeks.
Maybe it was just a one off thing because a coil should last a couple months imo. Maybe you over dry burned it a little? I think if dry burned too long , too much, it does over produce an oxidation layer and maybe when this happens, juice and such embeds into thus reducing the overall life of said coil. I don't dry burn like I used to, I do my dry burns at like 10 watts and for a much shorter time. I also use a tiny brush and rinse. I have recently been using a SS wire coil in one of my tanks and it seems to stay newer looking compared to kanthal, but it's to early to really tell. 2 weeks for your coil? So what was wrong with it? What did it look like in the end?

ReadyXWick...

Does anyone have some build ideas for this stuff?!?

Thanks, Jim
I tried that wick once and didn't use any special build with it. Afaik, it doesn't require a special coil or build. This however was a couple years ago and maybe now there is more info about it and perhaps some tricks to make it optimal.

No special builds needed. It's been a while since I used it but all my builds were basic with the only difference being ReadyXWick instead of cotton.

The great part about this stuff is you can dry burn at will without removing or having to change it. ReadyXWick doesn't burn.

!!! G*NOTE FIVE !!!

That's really one of the reasons I don't like those silica types of wicks. Now I'm no expert by any means and don't know for sure but there have been studies on over heating kanthal and they say that if it heats up past a specific temp, it may not be good. Now obviously when dry burning, we are not vaping it, so maybe it doesn't matter, but all the same, I just don't dry burn like I used to. I'm sure it's fine and what I'm saying doesn't apply in our applications, but I do think it's good not to dry burn too much if possible.

I kin'a figure after all the cigarettes I've smoked in my life, dry burning the gunk of my coil is the least of my concerns.
I honestly think many misconceptions are overkill....but that's just me.

What exactly is it? All of my builds are the same 2.5mm single coil. When I looked at their site I could only find 2mm and 3mm.
What is it? Wick that can be used indefinitely as it doesn't break down like cotton.
What's interesting is I don't see many ReadyXWick convos as there once was when it was all the rage.
