Getting Into The Mech Mod Side Of Things

[Tom]

On the silica wick side of things, 1.5mm vs 2mm? Any suggestions or should I get 2m of each?

i think that 2mm is the going one....I dont use silica at all, just cotton

For using the ekowool your best bet will be to just wrap around the ekowool itself. I have seen people sticking a needle or drill bit. You will stick the needle or bit through the center of the ekowool, wrap around it and then remove the needle/bit. So I would say iuse a 1.2/1.5 on the 2mm ekowool and a 0.6/0.8 on the 1mm. This is only what I will do if I used the Ekowool. Any of the silica/Ekowool users that can help us out here?

I build on a 1.5 mm ID for my 1 mm Ekowool. Then I torch the ekowool well, cut to a point, wet a bit and sort of screw it into and through the coil.

Thanks @Matthee . I've got no idea how to work with ekowool, evidently.

Many ways to skin a cat. That is just the way I do it. The methods you described are used as well. Suggest the OP check out on YouTube.

I might just try that.

What is the material makeup of ekowool?

 

[Snape of Vape]

I found this and plan on following it. Link is a bit pic heavy

Weaved silica @johan . Hollow.

 

[johan]

Maybe its time to do 'n real wicking potential test between ordinary silica and ekowool

 

[TylerD]

 

[johan]

I'll do a setup as scientifically possible, will get get silica and try to get ekowool of the same diameter and just for fun roll some cotton to see which one wins on wicking capacity

 

[Snape of Vape]

It is here...

Now just to figure this coil building thing out...

Great looking @Snape of Vape - once you've build a coil you will laugh at yourself for thinking its something to figure out.

 

[Snape of Vape]

@johan I did just now, but I think the ohm meter is broken as it just shows 0.0.0 even if I put the Protank or maxi bdc on there? So I don't want to risk it...
