mse12 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 So I messed up today and put a flavor that I hadn't yet tried into my AGA-S...to say the LEAST it was horrible. I pulled all the juice out and threw it out. I filled with my go to flavor and after the first tank I could still only taste the horrible flavor. Now that the first tank ran through I removed the wick and burned all the juice off and dry burned the coils. I put it back in and filled it again with my favorite juice and now there is a lingering flavor of the nasty juice and no other flavor at all....Have I ruined this wick? Just when I had this thing rockin' and rollin' I go and do something stupid like this...It's a sad day. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcquinn Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I haven't used a stainless steel mesh but I would think it should eventually straighten out.A good cleaning would speed up the process.If a person can clean a fiber wick stainless should be easier.

mse12 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 I thought it would have been an easy transition from flavors especially after burning the juice off. Lol maybe with a few more tanks it'll fix itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanraven Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Just re-burn your mesh and wick. I'll take a wild guess and you used Pluid. Burning will clear out the flavour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mse12 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Sadly no, it was an Irish cream. It was WAY too strong. Like almost gag strong. I took about 4 pulls off of it before it got emptied out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckyon Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Probably could have cut it with vodka or distilled water. I did that with one last night and it worked great. Took about 4 drops of vodka in the 1.6ml tank and all was good.. I know it is after the fact, but if it happens again, something to try and definitely less work.

Uma Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) I love Irish Cream! Send me your wick, hurry! You can even wash the wick under the faucet, roll it pat dry on a paper towel, re torch to dry, then fire season 2x or so, your nicer to you flavors. I know one gal who even tosses her wick into the jewelers sonic washer thing once a month. They're pretty darn tuff and last for months. (fire season: Remove wick from coils, insert the straightened out paperclip into the hole, drip juice on it, light it on fire with your Bic lighter, let the fire die a natural death. Repeat. Take out the paperclip, reinsert wick into coils, drip your fave juice, and vape away). Edited January 10, 2013 by Uma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mse12 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Well I washed it in water and re-burned and seasoned it. Taste is about 98% gone...perhaps the other 2% is just mental. Uma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uma Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 That's good, that most of the flavor is washed out now. Too bad a little bit is left. That should dissipate soon too. I use Irish Cream from Altcig and love it. I haven't tried other stores yet... maybe that's a good thing lol. If you need more mesh for more wicks, the Mesh Company has some nice material, even the 600, for your experimenting pleasures. Overall, 400 and 500 are the most popular so far. Here's a link: http://themeshcompany.com/acatalog/25-micron-super-fine-mesh.html When you need more wire, a good place is from King Orchid on ebay. Kanthal A1 anywhere from 28 to 32 gauge is popular. http://www.ebay.com/sch/kingorchid/m.html?item=261051663448&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc7e44458&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 There are other places too, of course. ninjabat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mse12 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Awesome, thank you for the links! I've currently got two 4"x6" #400 mesh sheets (minus the one wick I've made). I've also got 10' of 30ga and probably about 8.5' of 32ga kanthal a-1. I picked these both up where I bought the rba's from myvaporstore.com . I'm sure I over paid but hopefully not too bad. I will definitely keep these links for future orders. Thank you! Uma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at the link for the SS mesh now. There are too many options, lol. Which one is the best deal? Are they just different sizes or different material? lol I see the 400 and 500 but there are several options for each. Which one have you ordered in the past? Just curious.

Uma Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I can't remember which exact one, I think it was the 2nd #400 choice on the page. (the link of the page from above). Feel free to ask them, which one is best suited, or most popular with the eCiggers. Oh!

croniclis Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Best sources I have found for the stainless steel wire mesh material are the following and all can be ordered online, without too much hassle. www.mcmaster.com www.grainger.com http://www.bwire.com/index.html One lesson I have learned the hard way over the past few years - always search around for the best pricing on this material! Prices can vary by about 50 % in either direction depending on what place you buy from! DO YOUR RESEARCH! Uma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uma Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 That's always sound advice. Thanks for sharing it. MSE, I finally found the exact one I had purchased. There really are tons to chose from, & gets very confusing, overwhelming. The main thing to look for, I believe, is #316 mesh #A4 and perhaps "L" tossed in there to boot. Here's the exact one I bought, for those who need an idea of what numbers to search for: Ltd #400 Super Fine Filtration Mesh - 25 Micron) WSS500SF-A4 Super Fine #500 Stainless at themeshcompany http://themeshcompany.com/acatalog/25-micron-super-fine-mesh.html (I'm not competing with above post, just filling in your previous question, of which one on the page did I buy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mse12 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thank you Uma! I've still only got the two sheets of #400 that I got with my first order. I've only made 3 wicks total...so still have a lot and they are only 4"x6" pieces...lol I see these going a long way. Uma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
