Just set my RSST up with some of this SS Rope wick. 2mm 7x19

I was being ultra cautious about getting the ss rope clean though.

Soaked it first in a bath of isopropyl alcohol 99% ( actually filled up a 10ml bottle and dropped about 10 wicks in it ) to get rid of any grease from the manufacturing process. 10mins
Then into a pan of boiling water for 10mins.
Then flamed until glowing red/white.

Stick one into the RSST , wrapped a bit of oxidised 400 SS mesh around the top ( 2 turns) , did a 4/3 wrap of 0.32mm ( 28 gauge kanthal A1 ), came out at 0.9ohm.

Fired it up, no hotspots and wayhay ... awesome vapour !

It will dry out after about 10-15 sesc if held bang vertically. But a quick tip and the juice shoots back up the wick and off it goes again.
Or you can just hold it at 5 o'clock permanently and it never dries out.

Think I'm gonna do less wraps next. Try and get down to about 0.6ohms.

Cool beans.

Big question - Is this setup 'pocketable'?

So, just when to the local hardware store, one of those places run by a couple in their late hundreds, items from the seventies laying in fading buckets, and they didn't have any wire cutters in, but I did buy this, don't need it, but you know:

@Merino-Teflon ok what size was the small SS Rope you sent mate, been sat here all day should i should i not as it took me a while to wick the mini HF, well what the hell. stuck the SS piece of rope in the Pan boiled its fkin head off for 15 mins, then did 2 wraps of 500 mesh round the top. Had a bit of trouble as the coils kept blowing on .20 Kanthal so I used .25 Kanthal only 3 wraps which gives me sub 1 Ohm. well what can I say its friggin Awesome, none of this genny tilt shit either

Wraps Ain't pretty



clouds of vape lol

Cool, I sent you two sizes, 1.5 and 2mm, so it would be the 1.5, with each I sent size, I sent one 7x7 and one 7x19 cable, but they weren't labelled when I received them, so I don't know which is which to be honest.
