Got my RTA up and running with the mesh wick on !!!!!
i dont know how i did it , but it is just great .
Took me ages to set it up , way more complicated with the curve wick , nearly lost all my patience, it was so crooked and ugly , thought it will never work well . I was wrong - plenty of flavour and great throat hit from the start .
Eating up juice twice quicker though

another thing, if u chain vaping for 4-5 hours , there is a chance u just get used to flavour and your taste sensors can't feel it anymore /QUOTE]
Very true that and even more so when doing loads of repairs and lashing the juice in.Sir Digby Chicken Caesar wrote: »hehe, nah I was having trouble getting any flavour from my diy juices so I'm using all store bought juices for now
derra. have a 2.3ohm coil using .15 nichrome, about 5-6 turns. i'm running between 4 and 5v depending on the juice and whether or not im happy with the performance
im mainly experimenting with the turns atm, spacing them out or winding them really close together... I guess i'm doing it so much that I haven't noticed any huge difference in performance
Sounds ok anyway, maybe 5v would dry it quickly, maybe not.
I remember Clockworks said before he used two strands of Bulli wick which is similar to what you have now.
I tried it, but felt it required too many turns and was very thin to work with.
But he made it after all so i'd probably listen to him.
If you feel it is too thin, you could put a couple extra pieces of wick where the coil goes and just have two tails of wick going around the back of the posts.Got my RTA up and running with the mesh wick on !!!!!

Good man Alec,
Some patience required for that i would imagine, don't think mesh setups are for me at all.
Did you use a wire to bend the mesh?
I have read it's excellent this way with mesh, that should last you a while!0 -
I wouldn't try it for RDA -mesh wick eats juice too fast , u need tank atty IMOSir Digby Chicken Caesar wrote: »im kinda not looking forward to trying that in my RTA
my one attempt at trying to use a mesh wick in the RDA was such a disaster.. i just dont know how im going to do it0 -
paper clip , had to cut mesh differently , across the cells , bending better that way, had to redrill base holes aswell , they were 1.8 mm , made them 2 mmDid you use a wire to bend the mesh?

That is the first mesh wick ever i happy with 0 -

i'm famously useless, don't let me scare you off them
when its working well it's the best vape I've had, easily. I just haven't figured out what I'm doing wrong yet. I think I'm using too low resistance a wire to make too high resistance a coil, but I'm all out of the proper wire
all my complaining aside, I just did up a new coil in under a minute and am now vaping perfectly again. it's figuring out what i'm doing to kill them so quickly that's my problem, the actual useage of them isn't 0 -
ok, I tried it clockworks way
2 strands of the bulli thickness wick
so far it's great
better than any of the other coils i've made with this wick, it's not singing(singeing?... burning) the wick, it's wicking perfectly, flavour is great, vapour is good, throathit too
I guess using too much of the wick, it was soaking up all the juice.. but around the coil it just wasn't feeding it to the coil efficiently enough and i was running into problems
the next time I make a coil I'll try not doing it rawvegs way, I'll put the coil in the middle of the wick and wrap the 2 strands around the posts on either side
so, greenhornet.. dont worry 0 -

you're getting the bulli clone yeah?
itll be fine for an ego battery if you make a low enough resistance coil, .20mm or .15 nichrome will be fine
and yeah you'll need a multimeter im enjoying playing with mine more than using it for any real purpose
every now and again I take the top off my RDA and measure the voltage under load, just for the hell of it0 -

so I did a dry burn and singed the absolute **** out of the wick, it is completely burnt/black where the coil was. have you tried dry burning this stuff?
Had no bother yet dry burning, have one Bulli with Bulli wick and the other has the andreis wick. As mentioned before, you use a lot of flavouring on yours so a dry burn has to be done more frequently. The wick comes up fine on both.
Takes a week everytime i buy something he has in stock, just expect it next Monday and if you get it earlier it's a nice surprise for ya.My Bulli atomizer gear shipped from Germany today :-) How long were ye guys waiting once it was shipped? Now need to get a multimeter, any idea where to get a cheap one online in Ireland?
Should pick one up there unless ya find cheaper on eBay etc
http://www.adverts.ie/for-sale/q_multimeter/He did the hole for me and mailed me this morning to say so after he gave me shipping details. Not bad service, Im very happy with that...:D
Good stuff, the coil goes on opposite side of the air hole for a2 (very important) On top of screws for tank version.

Sounds like it was well worth the effort anyway Alec

Thanks for the info I forgot all about checking www.adverts.ie I'll probably get one there.

Yep a lot of reading in the next few days!0 -

so after making 4-5 coils this morning I decided that I was clearly doing something very wrong and needed to completely reset
using 1 loop of andres bulli size wick and .15 nichrome, I wound 4 coils giving me a 1.5-1.6ohm coil
way too low for me to be really happy with it but good for a starting point. Getting good vapour and decent flavour (better than I did when I first got the RDA using a similar wire/coil setup so I've clearly learned something ) so I dont think it was my winding method that was causing the problem. at the moment im thinking that my issues were with how many turns I was using and how close they were to each other.
thinking back to my previous coils it was always the ones that were really close together that were causing the wick to burn and while I was getting great flavour initially, it just wouldn't last as I was destroying the wick (and possibly the wire?)
so obviously tighter packed coils gives better flavour as you're fitting more wire onto the wick, which is vapourising more juice and giving more flavour but was apparently running too hot for the wick?
so for now I just have to forget all the bad habits I learned over the past week or two and start from the beginning again, slowly experimenting with 1 or 2 more turns on the wick and the spacing between the coils.
on the plus side even with all the troubles I was having vaping with the RDA it's still given me the best vaping experience I've had in a year and a half of vaping so I know once I figure it all out it will be worth every second. And to anybody reading this who might be scared away from rebuildables because of the problems i've been having, you're reading the post of a man who once spent half an hour wondering why his computer wouldn't turn on before realising he hadn't plugged it in, whatever's wrong with me is no small thing 0 -

yeah the glassfibre, it's back on sale now online. It was off the site there for a couple of weeks.
Instead of paying another 6.99 delivery for some, get some off alecs mate, it's very good wick too.
@ sir dcc
Have not forgotten your wick, you will have it Friday at the latest.
Yep will try get in touch with that chap today about getting some thanks for that. 0 -
