How to do the wick
The makers of the SQuape are working from personal experience and suggest following the systematic
instructions by first usage. The instructions are easy to follow and have been tested multiple times.
For tinker and do-it-yourselfer the instructions may be simple and you may look for solution by yourselves.
There is no prevention of finding improvements and suggestions.
You can do the wick with basically any on the market available tools. Of course the decision to use the correct
winding is important for the success of the atomizer. However, there are far fewer limitations or possible
mistakes as in similar atomizers. A proven option is shown more detailed:
1. Step:
Two 3 mm fiberglass cords, wound, lenght
apprx. 3 cm
0.16er Kanthal
Side Cutter
ie: Winding help
2. Step:
Overlay both cords and wire 3,5 till 4,5 turns
around the cords
3. Step:
Place the wick into the provided channel and
place the wire under the screws. Thus the
screws can be tightened by hand or using a
standard screwdriver. The lower cord should lay
tight in the channel.
At this time one can measure the resistance and
act accordingly.
The shown diagram depicts the winding of three
times with 0,16er wire for a resistance of 2.0
Ohm.
