Help! Disassembled my Nautilus Mini BVC Coil, is this the ceramic wick or the new cotton wick?

[DeadlyArrowX]

So I just opened the coil up and see three sheets that look like cotton, but I'm not sure. There's also a small screen circle, is there a way to tell if this is ceramic or cotton?

I'm concerned after hearing all of these possible dangers with the ceramic wicks, just got the premium kit in March but I'm new to this and wasn't sure if this looks like cotton or ceramic?

If you got it in March it's very likely the cotton wick. If you rub the material between your fingers, does it flake apart easily?

Try pulling it in two directions. If it fights you a bit and takes a bit of effort to pull apart, it's cotton. Also try what nyiddle says and rub it betwen your fingers. The ceramic cloth shreds to oblivion, even when a bit wet. The cotton will just kind of roll up on itself and eventually pill up like a lint ball.

Doesn't the cotton have larger wick holes?

 

[Necrotic]

The ceramic wick will have a grainy sand texture and fall apart easily.

If you got the newer coils (cotton), in your kit, this card, http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...arger-wicking-holes-stock-5.html#post15478482 (post 200 if it doesn't link right), should have come with the kit.

Okay, so there's 2 pieces with multiple layers sandwiching the wire, I can pull the layers apart very easily. But a sheet itself doesn't fall a part in my hands; doesn't crumble. Oh and yes have a warning card about the cotton, and that the device needs to soak in to the cotton. So then, I'm assuming I have cotton.

 

[nyiddle]

Heh, yes. It is a safe assumption that you have cotton coils.

 

[DeadlyArrowX]

Thank you everyone, appreciate the help. I guess despite the cotton, aspire still installs a mesh filter to stop particles then? As long as I have cotton.

 

[Cloudmann]

The mesh is more to prevent spit back.

 

[DeadlyArrowX]

Oh okay.

I noticed a mesh on my new normal nautilus, but I have to say, there is still spit back. I haven't tried an old nautilus to compare the two.
Are these new screened coils still rebuildable?

No need to go to all that trouble. The cotton coils have a warning card inside the box. It starts with the word Warning at the top. Not easy to miss. It informs the customer to prime. The word cotton is used so it is clear which coils you have By looking at the holes on the side of the coil the cotton is whiter than previous material.
