    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Actually, the wick I have in the RSST right now is about .5 + mm smaller than the wick hole - it moves around quite easily & there's a lot of room for fluid/air exchange around the wick....as a matter of fact, just for giggles I plugged up the fill hole with the little silicon plug thingy that...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Interesting you should say that... for some reason, the darn cheapo DID clones have always given me better performance than many other attys. With a 1/8 fishstick in them, they really shine. I don't know what it is about their configuration, but they just flat-out work. I just wish someone...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Yup, I just re-wrapped my fat ceramic again this morning - I'm still playing around with the ideal number of wraps & type of wire. You don't have to baby the larger wicks, they are definitely less prone to snapping. You can really get the wire tight against the ceramic without worrying about...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    I haven't put mine back in, but it looks like it wouldn't be a problem to do as long as you don't deform the bushing & sleeve when you punch it out. I found a 5mm flat bottom punch that fit perfectly and the bushing and sleeve came out clean and in one piece. If you resort to drilling it out...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Nope - I haven't touched the air hole at all, still stock - but I prefer a tight draw anyway. I'm still amazed at the flavor this thing is pumping out. I just did a side-by-side comparison with the same juice (AV Gorilla Juice) in a dripping atty, and they are almost identical - the dripper...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    I've always used RMS from day 1 (NO2). Looking at the conversion charts, I was only running 8 watts before, and the 10.5 watt setting definitely increases response time significantly, but does mute the flavor also. I think the way to go at this point is lower the resistance to 1.5-1.8 and give...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    I wouldn't be surprised if someone eventually came out with a stainless tank for this puppy. It wouldn't be that difficult to do, and I have a gut feeling this little gem will be quite popular. A glass tank would be ideal, but it would be pretty complicated to manufacture unless you made it in...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    I never used the wattage scale, but I was running it @ 4.1 -4.2 volts with a 2.0 Ohm coil. I just switched my VAMO over to Wattage scale & set it for 10.5 Watts - yep, MUCH better response, but now the flavors seem muted somewhat. Strange. Thanks for the tip...I'll have to play with that for a...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Just a quick update on the RSST with the 4.5mm Ceramic wick with 4 wraps of .5 X.1 mm Kanthal ribbon wire (2.0 Ohms). Some observations; After less than 24 hours, this thing is already producing some really nice flavor and wicking like a beast. Not one dry hit so far, even chain vaping on my...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Well, finally got my AC9 Clone today...pretty impressive RBA for the money....better than my AGA-T2 by a long shot. First thing I did was knock the wick bushing out & removed the nylon sleeve - huge wick hole! about 5mm or a tad over. I built a quick fishwick for it...not optimized - it's...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Nice! If this works out, it could eliminate the major problem with Fishsticks; fragility. They should be much more robust than the smaller wicks. The 1/8 inch diameter ceramics are far far more sturdy than the 3/32, but are still pretty snap-happy, so going to a 4.5 - 5mm+ wick could be the...

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    Great idea! I'm going to give this a try - I just snapped my well broken-in 1/8 fishstick on my DID clone this morning when I was tweaking the top screw (these things are fragile!). It was really wicking well & tasting really good so I hate to have to start from scratch. Its actually still...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Yes, I realize that. ...many of the ceramic wicks I've found so far (rope type) are composed of variations of Alumdum or Aluminum oxide, but most are re-enforced with fiberglass fibers. Just looking around to see if there might be another possible configuration of ceramic materials that might work.

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Whoa...Ceramic fiber wick??? That could open up a lot of additional possibilities! Time to do some Google-fu and find out more about this stuff........ EDIT: after some quick research, it appears that most of the ceramic wicks contain fiberglass as a re-enforcing materiel ....not good. I'll...

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    Thanks for the update. I knew there had to be a reason for that bushing...I thought it might be made of some non-conductive materiel to work better with SS wicks. Sounds like this puppy was designed to be tinkered with...I like that :) Almost 5mm wick hole you say? That would give you a pretty...

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    Yep, looking forward to getting mine as well. Now that the wick hole on the RSST has been confirmed as being a removable sleeve, it opens up a whole new world of experimentation with wick diameters (I'm sure it's pretty easy to re-insert the bushing to play with various options). I may drill...

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    No worries with the shorter wick - Some people have run theirs with just a stub of the wick going into the tank (after the wick broke). Once the ceramics break in ( a tankful or two), as long as they are touching the juice, they will wick. Just tilt it a bit & it will be fine. Glad you got it...
