does it wick well? taste like chicken?I like using Gorilla glue 2 part epoxy, never lets me down
Yeah, its like a stronger more heat resistant version of glue and it comes in two tubes that you mix together.
Yeah, but I still don't get why you'd use epoxy when building your electronic cigarette heating element and wick. You take your kanthal or nickel wire, coil it, check resistance with ohm meter, screw it onto the deck, check resistance level again and test fire, put wick inside the coil, prime the wick with eliquid, screw the rest of the parts together, and vape. Where's the glue go? Unless you're talking about making your own mod. . .

Ditto. Or maybe trying to rebuild an old-school 901 or 510 cig-a-like atomizer? If that's the case, you don't rebuild those; they're so cheap that you just buy another. Or, better yet, upgrade to an RBA or RDA. Need more caffeine too
'K, that maes more sense
I haven't built mods, but have used a variety of glues in work, for gluing a variety of items, including metals. For things like stone and such, and gluing non-like materials together, 2-part epoxy can't be beat.

Yeah, I've heard good things about JB weld. thank you for your reply.
Devcon makes good epoxies along with JB weld. But doesn't epoxy melt under high temps?

The JB epoxy I used withstands 550 degrees. Never had any problems.
Thanks Kent. I've used epoxy in some hot situations and it got soft. But yeah I think some of the JB weld stuff does withstand higher heat
If not JB Weld (shine the Kwik it's weak) Devcon 10110 Plastic Steel Epoxy which comes in both putty and paste form.
