    That would be extremely hard to do in all ceramic without using poly or other filler material.

    Sorry to hear about the European supply of airstone. Maybe, you can find another brand or material to test out. It never hurts to test out stuff.

    :lol: Right after you sent me that link I checked it out and then email them. I'm surprised you found a company that I haven't contacted yet. Lets see what happens with this lead. Good job! If you or anyone else finds a company please feel free to contact them yourself, as I'm working very hard...

    Thanks, I will look into Seneca Ceramics, the other manufacturer is in the UK. I have a bunch of companies that I'm already talking to as well. I should be getting a sample for 2 of them. One was free and the other one charged me $35, which is a small hit that I will take to test their version...

    I'm reaching out to other companies to manufacture wicks for us for future co-ops. Lets see what happens. That one company that one company that wanted a ton of money to test out the wick didn't completely crush me. I will try to get wicks made for those that find it difficult or impossible to...

    :lol: The wick hole for the tank is very small and also the glass mini bottle tank really won't weak because of the air lock. Same concept as when you pinch the top of a straw and lift it out of the liquid, the pressure holds the liquid so it doesn't pour out.

    I owned a Genesis LV. It's a cool concept, but in real life it kind of suck IMO. It has a tiny wick hole, tiny glass tank, and a weird whistle drip tip. I also thought the setup was annoying b/c the wick goes into the tank after it's all setup. This is just my honest opinions, but I know people...

    I agree completely about the 500 run, which is why I emailed them back and told them my intentions for the product not making any profit for myself and asked for a single sample. We will see what happens. Maybe they will send me 2!;)

    I agree! They were made out of a high grade ceramic compound that would be much less brittle and probably have better papillary action than what we're using now. I'll never know for sure. I also agree with K3vin that it was worth a shot.

    Just FYI, I contacted a ceramic company about making custom engineered wicks made just for us, that I would do a co-op for. Anyhow, I got a quote back today and I was shocked! They were way too expensive for me to even test, let alone do a co-op. I was looking forward to this so much. It would...

    JW Pet Co. told me that it's 1/8" - 1/4" diameter. I'm getting the sample directly from them.

    Back from my first day of classes. Came home to an email offering me a sample of this:Aquarium Air Pumps & Aeration Accessories: JW Pet Anchor Bubbler in the 1' size. Has anyone tried this product before? It has a diameter close to what we're looking for.

    I'm not sure how much juice it will hold. I saw similar material to that, it passed the torch test, but didn't absorb juice that well.

    :lol: Those Shark brand steam cleaners or something like that should work just as good, if not better; unless you need or want an espresso machine anyways.
