No, I don't use temp control, just normal wattage mode

Just to correct you, looking at pic you bought the 150 grit mesh, not the 200 grit..I bought the "200" mesh today from The Vapery. Will only try it once a Mesh Coil needs replacing.

Great informative video and well presented.OK, so as much as I didn't want to go online, this is the only way I could wangle it. Thank you @Blends Of Distinction for being the best tutor ever!
Thanks. I found once the cotton was through the mesh I pulled the cotton on both sides downwards to depress the ceramic peg and the cotton went trough slightly easier. As I said I also depressed the ceramic peg with a thin screwdriver to feed the cotton through initially.Great informative video and well presented.
Thank you for this I am sure it will help a lot of folks battling with mesh wicking..
If I may just highlight one critical point that LeislB made.
90 % plus of semi dry hits that people get on these mesh RTA's comes from one problem only.
When trying to feed the cotton through the mesh people struggle to get the cotton going through the mesh initially. So in order to overcome this they then roll the cotton tighter into a tube, or twist the cotton, and feed it that way.
What happens now is that the cotton then stays in that tube shape and does not expand and fill the bottom corners of the mesh where it clamps into the posts. See pic below...
If you are getting a semi dry hit, look at your mesh and I bet you will find a thin dark burn line along that bottom edge...
The most important step in this whole process is to ensure that you make that bow tie and then pull the cotton outwards and down so that it fills that cavity. Pull hard and don't be scared you have to fill that edge.
Another good tip is when you have done the wicking and you are ready to take the first few draws on the fresh wick. Loosen the top fill cap and leave it loose for the first few draws so that the juice wicks rapidly to soak into the cotton.
Also when you initially start to vape and the tank is cold (winter is famous for this) also loosen top cap to assist in wicking in those first few draws as the juice, by nature is thicket when its cold and doesn't wick as quickly till it warms a bit.

Stew just a little pointer here..I bought mine on the 3rd Aug so probably got it and wicked it up on the 5th. Am still using the same wick on 17th Aug which is 12 days. It is still working great.
My problem is me myself. I don't consistently draw air, sometimes I draw slow and sometimes faster. For a faster draw I can pump up the watts to 55 but if I draw slowly I get a dry hit. So I leave it on 29 Watts for safety and if I want a nice bit of flavour I pump it up and take a few draws, trying to remember to turn the wattage down so I don't inadvertently pick it up and take a slow draw. I just wish I could regulate my draw speed when I press the fire button. At 29 Watts my first draw in the morning is ice cold until the wick and fluid warm up with a few draws. I should actually get into the habit of turning it up for the first draw in the morning.
A good tip to get the cotton initially through, and going, is to cut the first centermeter, or 2 at a tapered angle so that it starts thin and then gets thicker. This allows you to get a nice piece through that you can grab...Thanks.

Thanks for both of the above replies. The wattage I mentioned was for the mesh that came with the tank. Haven't tried the stainless yet. But nice tip.

The easyist way to feed the cotton is to pull it down on both sides as you feed it..
And remember to feed it from the side that you did not cut on

Thanks so much.Another tip for you..
Take this roll, pull out about 20 cm of mesh, lay it flat on a cutting pad, hold it length ways under a ruler (I have a steel one) and cut with a NT cutter (pic below) right down the middle, which is the perfect width for the Zeus. Now all you gotta do is cut length of coil with a scissors each time you want a new coil
I sometimes cut a whole roll and then cut the individual strips so I have a little plastic dish with like a 200 precut strips ready to go
Doing it this way means you have consistency and don't waste mesh

Are you on commission, lol!! Can't even say i have seen it in the UK but then not really looked.You guys have to try Kendo gold in the mesh, it's superb! You can get it for R100 a bag at Vape shop, cheapest I've seen it.

Blush! So you didn't see the shaking fingers? Lol!Your video is truly well done @LeislB . You put some of the established reviewers to shame. You went through a 16 minute video without editing.
You should do more of these.
Does the mesh not get brittle?Just loosen one end of the mesh, lift the mesh, put the cotton in and put the mesh back and screw it down. Never fails.
There is a mesh wicking video on youtube that suggests a variant to your suggestion ... Lifting the mesh on one side once wicked, and placing an additional piece of wick, (with the grain going in the other direction), under the mesh tightening down and juicing 'er upJust loosen one end of the mesh, lift the mesh, put the cotton in and put the mesh back and screw it down. Never fails.
I'm sure you were singing it's credentials in another post recently, must be good stuff!No, I'm just a bargain hunter!
Haven't seen it sold separately ,but try sir vape. They might help.Also does anyone know if the Zeus x deck is available as a separate purchase anywhere? That dual deck looks the business.
I saw the mesh deck by itself but not the dual deck.
