I know electricity will take the shortest/easiest path to ground, and that path for a wire wrapped around a bigger wire/cable should be shorting through the bigger wire.
Right?
Edit: Turns out I was right about electricity, but wrong about how the genesis style atomizers were wicked. I didn’t know the cable was just to draw the liquid from the tank to the cotton. I thought the cable was a cotton replacement.
It depends, if the resistance of the larger cable is higher the power will still follow the path of least resistance through the smaller cable. And I haven’t taken a vape apart to check how the coil works but it’s more likely to be ceramic or quarts than something actually conducive.
It would be very hard to make the resistance of the larger cable higher than the smaller one because resistance is a function of the cross-section of the wire. Obviously also a function of the metals, maybe something like silver and Kanthal but it feels like a long shot.
I don’t know what tech the OP is talking about but you don’t need a wick if you can get e-juice flowing over the coil anyway. You can use a dripper like this so I’m guessing someone has developed a tank to feed the juice into the setup?
My assumptions on how a genesis style tank was wicked was wrong. I thought the cable replaced the cotton instead of just drawing the liquid up to the top so the cotton didn’t have to go in the tank.
