The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

[cyclotron]

Watched the video. I am impressed with how quickly it actually comes up to temp. With hitting it at 15watts I'm sure that is making it heat up pretty quickly. What I am thinking is that it needs the high wattage for the first second then to drop to some lower wattage.
My reasoning is that it appears to go to supper heating the juice about a second after it starts a good vapor roll.

Thank you for the video!

Great project. This stuff looks good... it has a 0.29mm wall thickness which should help the heat transfer.

Yeah, just reread that link, they are Pyrex "borosilicate glass"
Would work excellent!

Yeah I would stick with Pyrex, better thermal tolerance.
No problem, sharing is what I do

The glass tube I linked to is considered the same as Pyrex. From my research "borosilicate glass that meets the requirement of Type 1 Class A glass from ASTM E438" is pyrex or the same thing. These tubes are like 8 bucks a piece. But with no need to replace them I think the thin wall of these tubes might be worth a shot. I'll have to order and find out.

EDIT: Just saw your post above. I guess I was a day late and dollar short.

LOL no problem, did not see the first time it was Borosilicate Glass Tubing.

Ok I just cut the 30mm tube in half, so I now have 1 15mm piece of pyrex that stops before entering the tank area. Seems to be working quite effectivly this way.

subscribing. would be into a co-op

 

[Skyway]

So is there a point of doing a coop for the left over tubes or would it be easier to order from Wilmad? Interested in trying this out.

 

[raceengine]

Wow Dan... Interesting findings again. Would love to join if there is a coop for the pyrex tube

Here's another thin wall option. From the nominal specs, it would be a .15mm wall.

That's a fantastic improvement over what we are using Dan. I would love to try it out. If the co-op ever gets going... count me in.

 

[tierrataz]

Registering interest for a co-op x3.

This has unlimited possibilities, a small piece of Pyrex tubing as a coil insulator on all our rbas no matter the wick.

Forever Wick! Just the thing for the greedy 'Mizer!! :thumbup:

 

[BuzzKilla]

this is very interesting...

wasnt there a thread a few months back, regarding trying to find a method of keeping the coil completely isolated from the juice?

this calls for a complete tank redesign!





Dan I do believe you have just killed the Genesis design!

lol my grandchildren will inherit my stash of kenthal and ss mesh.

 

[Roszam]

very interested in being part of the coop. But please, please, please, open it up internationally. Or I would not be Able to join. Thanks.

Glass seems to be the best bet. I've completed my experiments with PTFE and that just does not hold up. There are other concerns with possible gassing of that material too. Glass would be completely inert and combined with SS wick there just doesn't seem like there would be anything in the vapor but the juice.

 

[wesweswes]

what are the benefits?

increased ss wick life.
less clogging.
no more hotspots.

if there was a way to get liquid inside the glass tube without the use of any wick, some sort of pressure from sucking or gravity based i imagine it would be the cleanest tasting atty out there...

i remember reading that ceramic wicks degraded very fast, perhaps this method might even up the temperature spread and give them a fighting chance???

would this work with 3.7 volt mechanical mods?

New video of the shortened Pyrex tube to 15mm

Briliant idea, I definately need to test it on my Gen
