I could send you a few metres of mine when it arrives, o2 card shouldn't take more than a week to arrive anyway. they are great things to have, although dangerous.. I'd probably have money in a bank account now if I didn't have one

Cheers for the offer
Will be handy to have alright and dangerous as you say especially the way the vaping world is evolving but am more than happy with what i have now. (for the time being)
Ya gonna get mesh to try on the RDA?0 -
yeah once I get my RTA and my throathit I'll be done with major spending for a while
I might pick up a bulli or another repairable in the future but not for a good while
yeah I am gona try mesh the rda, it looks quite a bit simpler than the RTA so I'll use the RDA to get used to it. it looks like just.. oxidise, make coil.. stand up and wrap to posts. im sure ill take a week to get it right though
be a couple of weeks before I can afford to order any mesh or a blowtorch though so I'll be still using wick for a good while yet0 -

Group buy of samples and pass it around
Would need a few around the same nicotine level, getting too stingy mixing my own is my my problem.
If they are that good, it be nice to discover one and treat yourself once in a while maybe.
Would go mad if i bought the sample packs and hated them all !0 -

aye you need to verify your account, shouldn't take long though
there's a guy on ukvapers terry0769 or something who sells wire 1 sterling for 2m incl postage, think it was a little dearer for Ireland postage but it came in about 4 days. well worth getting 2m of .15 and .2 nichrome before the RDA arrives just so you have it handy. I barely didnt run out of the wire that was supplied with it trying to learn how to make coils, and I did run out of wick

Hmmmm..still waiting for verification. Is it normal to have to wait for 2 days?0 -

ill say one thing for it it soaks up the juice really really well, it's gone see through in about half a second
that one was 3.3ohms with .15 wire
I made up another one but I used one less turn of the wick, so at the end away from the coil there's only 3 pieces sticking out.. seems to be giving a bit better flavour.
i got some mesh today as well so im gona give that a shot later on probably. I'll use the flame on the gas cooker to oxidise it.
ill try get to the post office this afternoon and fire off some of this wick
just pm me your addy, i cant find the envelope you sent
This is the thing with repairables, ya know it works fine, it's just a matter of finding what's the best configuration.
Some are easier than others to do that.
6 turns this time with .20 would definietly give you close to 1.8 Ohms because i know the wick is similar in thickness to Bulli wick.
But you prefer higher resistance, so maybe 6 turns of .15 be suitable.
Really just have to play with it with different wire , resistance, wick amount etc.
Easier to work with that type of wick, give it time for the wire to break in etc.
Your heating the wire before coiling yeah, should be blackish as you coil it.
Mesh could be the handiest way out of it.
Video on oxidising
Again, you will have to work out the wire configuration, the .20 might be more suitable as it's thicker than the .150 -
flavour still isnt as good as i was getting yesterday, but there's so many variables.. it could be down to the coil I made, the fact that my battery isn't fully charged, the position of the moon relative to jupiter..seems to be fine wick though
i dont know if I oughta try a hybrid wick/SS first, or a straight SS wick
SS wick would probably be easier as it's just.. make tube, make coil rather than fiddling about with wrapping the SS around the wick
--edit
no, I stopped bothering heating the wire before making the coil. I'll do that next time I make one) 0 -

Yep, so many variables to try out.
Maybe try the coil in the middle of the wick again as well.
Best to heat the coil first, gives a better grip making it easier to coil, kind of oxidises it a bit taking less time tio break in.
Can get frustrating but you will work it out.
As for the mesh, you posted a link by Pancho a few pages back i think on UKVapers. Stick with that way first i reckon.
Oxidise mesh thoroughly.
Cut one end at an angle so the juice can be sucked up better.
Wish my RDA was working so i could do a bit of repairing to help ya better.0 -
yeah I have 5-6 ukvapers threasd bookmarked so I can give them a read through, gona do some googling too
thinking about it, I might wait until the weekend before I try the mesh. parents are buggering off on holiday and I'd rather not explain why I'm standing over the cooker heating bits of metal 0 -

Hardcore vaping !, tried a mesh configuration on the Bulli last week but i did'nt like it. I just don't seem to have the patience for mesh wick either.
Will try it though if i ever get the RDA sent off for repair.0 -

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar,
I strongly recommend u to use flame on the gas cooker to clean that wick before the first use
That wick is temperature resistant , i think 1300-1400c' is the melting point , so no harm to use the flame ( not for too long ,till it glows red )
it gives u better flavour from the start ( wick could be treated with something , so flame is the right thing to go )
Another thing - human fingers could be pretty greasy , that affect flavour as well
what u normally do :
1)make a coil , add few drops of juice and use a flame after that ( it will clean up a wick and break in the wire at the same time )-- hold it with the pliers or somth like that
2) Finally ,attach it to Rda and try to not touch it with the fingers too much
3) test the new coil with dry burn ( if every turn of the coil glows equally red -- u did a good job , if some of the turns stay black , well , coil not done properly -- u wont get great flavour of it )
PS.Don't forget to do dry burns regularly ( be careful though , unlike bulli , base of RDA made of derlin ,so don't melt it, like i did 0 -
just tried a mesh wick, and a hybrid fibreglass/mesh wick
the mesh wick was just a disaster from the get go I gave up on that pretty quickly
the hybrid I wasnt sure about. I was getting a strange flavour from it, and I noticed some of the mesh burning a little bit where the coil touched it. Ill try them both again but for the moment im just back to wick and wire
I did what alec suggested and burned them both over the cooker flame, cant say I notice anything different 0 -
