Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

Cotton wick after two weeks.


Decided to try a QuigTip.

Cotton wick after two weeks.

That's just nasty. It had to taste bad! Since it takes about 2 minutes start to finish I'm changing wicks after a few days.

Im planning on doing it these way: wrap mesh on the wick so it feeds the mesh BUT ive seen people that use mesh only using the method that does not cover the wick channels, apparently it feeds with no issue either fiber wick or mesh.

I also plan on trying it U wick style with mesh, i dont think it should be a problem.

I'm not so worried about the juice feeding or bending it but, I have a hard time believing that the oxide coating will stand up to the ring that holds it all all together. Thinking about it though, it might be possible to put a layer of cotton or something under the SS on the positive side. That might keep it from shorting.

I'm just saying to try making your wick a bit smaller in diameter. No need for SS. I only used the "qtip" in my GTUS but I prefer just cotton.

Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't sure that's what you meant given some of your previous posts.

Interesting twist this thread has taken. I played with these a while back but never implemented them because they are made of wood. But if you ever have looked at them they have Many tiny tubular substructures within the tube itself.

However with the advent of cotton to insulate the wood from burning, I could see this (picture this) cutting the reed on several slants or conical shaped underneath the cotton batten rolled Q tip type set-up. The reed would effectively replace the syringe as the capillary tube.

Thoughts?

Hmmm, those may actually work, instead of making cuts to make an outlet to the cotton, maybe just take a pair of pliers and kind of crush/crack open/pulp up the little reed tubes just under where you plan on wrapping your cotton?...

You know this is getting pretty "Hippy" right?

I had an idea of using ceramic rods or tubes to wrap the coil around.

I was thinking more along the lines of steam punk.

The juice may have to be thinned out a bit. Those micro tubes 'are' small.


Maybe I'll start a franchise like Scentsy. I'll call it Vapesey Sticks. lol

But then you'd have to start mixing and selling juice optimized for the Vapesy Sticks
