Lol
Oxidizing the wick properly is the key with the mesh wicks. Do that right, and you're laughing. If it's not right, you'll get hotspots etc, and it'll drive you ****ing mad :-)0 -

Once u get urs Line v2 , i might reconsider about variable wattage modsSir Digby Chicken Caesar wrote: »the only time youll ever need to check a coils ohms is when you're just after making the coil and a bog standard multimeter will do that job. unless you're going to be reviewing **** on youtube the provaris ohm checking feature isn't much more than a flashy gimmick.
you dont even really need to know the ohms of the coil with the throathit and its 5amp limit, if you make a 1.6ohm coil you can vape at 3v if you want or go all the way to 5.8v.. just keep dialing that dial until you find the vape you're happy with
if you do sell the TH you're going to be back to recharging batteries every 5 hours and keeping an extra backpack full of chargers and spare batts whenever you go somewhere for the weekend
mesh wick not so predictable as regular is.... It might change resistance pretty often ( especially with the Line V2 -- There is no screws there )
not an issue if u got Variable Wattage mod - it will adjust voltage on the fly0 -

It's too big and heavy for eGo type battery, just does'nt feel or look right on them.
FYPYou'll enjoy it sdcc, I just don't have all day every day to tinker with it, so back to cartos for me for a while...I did my second wick and coil today on the Genisis LV and it has turned out perfect, I am beaming with it at the moment.
Good man Newmark, what's it like on the juice?Sir Digby Chicken Caesar wrote: »the only thing im concerned about with the line and evenn the RTA is getting the thickness/rolling of the mesh right.. but im sure it'll only take a few goesSir Digby Chicken Caesar wrote: »ah yeah... watched that this morning after I pm'd you but I skipped over the actual making the mesh/coil bit as I wanted to get to the action
Hope ya have gallons of juice for that at 5v!
Your patience will be rewarded with a very nice vape.I dunno , probably not yet
ps. I think derra was going to sell one of his Bullis.....
Gonna hang on to it for now, keeping an eye out for the older type with engraving and if i get that i will sell one then.
Probably sell the RDA though if i go ahead with the repair, waiting to hear back from him when he receives it.
This thread is starting to warm up a bit, should be plenty of tears and tantrums ahead as well as the joy in achieving the ultimate vape !0 -

Probably best to put an order in now anyway
Can't wait too read your reaction to the way it takes the juice, it's just the way it is with it, plenty of other atties would be similar i'd imagine.
A tip i read for mesh users was to get a piece of tissue, split it in two to get a real thin piece.
Wrap it around the mesh and not overlap.
Put your coil on, then soak it with juice and burn off.
Depending on how ya find wrapping a coil on mesh even with heating the wire beforehand to give it that extra grip it can still move too easily on it.
Probably not worth your while either going to the bother.0 -
yeah im not sure im looking forward to making that first coil on the line
i dont see how im going to manage wrapping it around the mesh without getting it tangled up in the longer of the silver posts.. that is going to break my heart
once I get the hang of it though.. I can kinda see it being less hassle than a silica wick in a weird way
at least with the SS mesh that part is done and will last you an age, just wrap some wire about it and you're away again instead of having to measure out a bit of wick, cut it, run it over a lighter, etc etc etc every time you gotta make a new coil0 -

well the line arrived today
is this the thing derra ended up selling after one week because it was too fiddly?
I can certainly see that
i destroyed the coil it came premade with. it wasnt working right after a little while so I decided to uncoil it and do up my own, when i was taking the wire off the mesh it just.. fell apart. i wasnt pulling it hard or anything it just fell away from itself. it was around 1.8ohms so I guess 5v was too much for it...
i have a 2.8 ohm coil on there now with some 34awg kanthal, 5 wraps.. im vaping swedish fish so it's a complicated juice with a lot of flavours to come through.. and it's almost there but not good enough. I get better flavour from a cartomiser. where the wire leaves the mesh and wraps around the posts goes red very very fast which seems to negatively affect the flavour. The mesh seems to be wicking well enough so I dont think thats the problem, maybe its how im winding it.. its not easy to make a coil. getting the wire to stay still while you're lifting it around the posts or mesh is a PITA.
i'll keep at it anyway but unless I figure this out in the next week.. once I get my RDA I dont know if I'll end up using it much
--edit
1 minute after I make this post.. I get kind of a bubble of air through the drip tip and now it wont fire any more

That'll destroy you're flavour, it'll burn the juice....make sure the wick is oxidized properly, it'll create a short otherwise and cause the hotspots....other than that make sure the wire is hugging the wick all the way round fairly tightly.
Maybe the voltage is just too high, when the wick is bedding in, the resistance can jump around a bit, have a check and make sure it's still at 2.8, might have dropped back a bit...
Fair play on burning out a mesh wick in a couple of hours 0 -

sounds like a short alright, and your protection circuitry is kicking in...0 -

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar wrote: »thats the thing.. Im finding it impossible to wrap the wire around the wick tightly
the wick is jumping all over the place
Try burning the kanthal wire with a lighter before wrapping it around the coil, it makes it easier to use.0 -
i was doing that
i scrapped the lot, wick and wire and started again
4cmx3cm bit of mesh, rolled it up oxidised etc etc
have a coil on atm with some 32awg kanthal but its metering out at 1.4ohm! forgot just how low ohms/metre this **** was, gona have to recoil it with different wire cos thats way too low
but the actual vape itself has improved a bit. flavour still isnt great but loads of vapour (draw is a bit too tight for me but nothing I can do about that). ill give this a while anyway, fill it up once more with a different juice and try that for a bit.. then I'll recoil it with a hhigher ohm coil, 1.4ohm is too low for me
swedish fish is kind of a tricky juice to start with I guess as there's so many notes to the flavour.
its cracking an awful lot while I have it fired.. is this normal? I assume it's the juice vapourising but does it mean it's wicking too little/too much?0 -

made up a new coil, doing nothing differently.. and now it's performing very well#
screw this, im going back to fags
Memories of frustration are flooding back to me here.
It's very hard to get it performing consistently the way ya want it, hopefully you will have more luck than i had.0 -
i dont think I will I can see a classified spot on ukvapers in its future, soon as I get my RDA next week
im vaping e-smokerirelands strawberrymilkshake.. and.. it's always on the way there but I never get the flavour I should. I'm not crazy about the draw on it either, and there's 0 throathit. I think even if I got perfect flavour I wouldn't exactly love it. Still, worth a purchase just to try it out. although now I need more strawberry milkshake.. line ****ing drinks juice.0 -

It's hard work getting it right and when you get the RDA back you will be constantly using that with minimal effort and better results each time.
Lashes the juice out of it does'nt it 0
