Did you catch it on fire?

oxidised 3 times then burnt off 3 loads of pg on it, first effort with mesh wicks though and always open to advice from more experienced vapers


cheers

This one is a lot shorter than yours and it looks like you forgot to cut the wicks at an angle?

thanks for the link, i thought about making one like that but didn't think it'd wick fast enough ? didn't know about cutting off the ends at an angle either, thanks for the info


cheers

I had found a video too, but it wasnt explanatory, he made his wick like the one in the link I posted and said it worked great like that.

Is the angle cut to increase the internal surface area at the biggest apertures?

I think its more like a guide for the liquid to cling to and to allow any air to escape... Kind up like putting an inverted cup into water, it just airlocks, but put it at an angle and it fills...?

Dunno to be honest.
