I will have a kraken turning up in a few days, and I would like to give SS wire rope a crack this time. I say this time, because I have tried using a genesis style atty before, let's just say I didn't get on with it.

I only use cotton in my drippers but last time it just couldn't wick quick enough. I tried ss mesh and that just tasted like death no matter what I did to prepare/treat it. I also don't particularly like silica because I can taste that even after torching and what not. So apart from using Seedy's auto dripper set up, which I will most likely end up doing, there is only SS wire rope left to try, am I right?

So what's your views on it? Any recommended videos to watch?

Thanks.

Another good video, I prefer ribbon to micro-coil, but the method is the same.

Hmmm, so you gotta use mesh with rope? That really puts me off to be honest. I will see how I get on with cotton and the bit of silica I have left first I think. Thanks for the links though, they will come in handy if I decide to try it.

I just use cotton in my Kraken. Wicks and works like a champ.

did you leave a hole thru centre of mesh wick ?
a dry hit on a ss mesh is hellacious !

Why not give voodoo wool from stealthvape a try, wicks fast and is tasteless?

I think I did leave a hole, it was a few months ago now.

Isn't voodoo wool hollow?

I find out if I have lost my job or not today so depending on the outcome I will be treating myself to some supplies, suppose I will give the SS builds a go again.
