    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Larger diameter wicks work very well in the RSST and if you search around the forums, interest is being gathered for the new Pyrex version. The RSST had been proven friendly to our wicks.

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Many thanks for all of your suggestions and tips for the kayfun devices!!! I will start shaping wicks this weekend and hope that the Russians arrive some month soon (though the waiting may be even tougher with the wicks seductively taunting me). Much appreciated!

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    (yes I agree, Tibs) IF my Russian 91s and Rockets ever arrive I want to try monkey bar wicks. Any suggestions from the trailblazers? Do the downlegs have to be rounded? And how do you cut out the underside of the bar without chopping off a leg? It does appear more difficult to shape than...

    Caramel & Vanilla BLISS (and questions)

    Thanks, Dawn, I am a happy camper! And yes to all, do check out their flavors and juices; you will surely find something you love! The Holy Vanilla is great so I am looking forward to trying the Holy Grail RY4 on next order.

    SJ Sigelei Stainless Steel ZMax V2, ZMax Mini Discussion/Support/Therapy Group

    On one of my two minis, I am having button troubles too but of a different kind. Either the button sticks or shuts off after release VERY slowly. The atomizer continues to fire for about 2-5 seconds after release of the button. It may actually only stop after the 10 second time-out is...

    Caramel & Vanilla BLISS (and questions)

    Yes, I love a good RY4 too but can be hard to find. You can order the Holy Vanilla and Caramel from DIYflavorshack and add to any tobacco you enjoy. I would probably go with their Expert Caramel because it is double strength so you need less % which will dilute the juice or tobacco flavor...

    Caramel & Vanilla BLISS (and questions)

    I had been a caramel addict until I found my previous flavoring (NF's Organic Caramel) probably contains diacetyl, which I MUST avoid due to COPD lung problems. Have been on a caramel hunt (11 others) since then and found nothing close to that yummy goodness I so miss, until..... Dawn supplied...

    SJ Sigelei Stainless Steel ZMax V2, ZMax Mini Discussion/Support/Therapy Group

    Hi y'all. I think I've seen mention of leaving positive feedback for sanjosse so can anyone direct me to where/how this is done? I'm still rockin' my minis and lurking for the next round, but would love to ensure that our leader gets credit and thanks for all of his efforts over so, so many...

    smallest, simplest VW device?

    The favorite VV/VW mod I have is a Sigelei Z-max, though I also have Smok Z-max and Innokin SVD but all are rather large & heavy. (hint, hint: so if you want a SMALL but full-function VV/VW mod, check out the active co-ops area as there may be a few units left available)

    Best glass bottle type for storage: clear, amber or cobalt blue?

    Great tips, all. I've been using all three types but your insights are greatly appreciated!

    Best glass bottle type for storage: clear, amber or cobalt blue?

    Am curious about preferences and reasons for selecting glass bottles for nic or juice storage. I assume that protection from light is not critical if the bottles are kept in the dark, so clear (which allows inspection of liquid color changes) may be better than amber or blue bottles. Also...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Thanks Lh, it's OK; thems the breaks I guess. I do, however, have wick envy for Dan's beautiful Aquarius. These new undersized DV wicks make me feel a bit embarassed. :unsure: It may be time to break out the drill and some diamond wheels....

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    I just received 6 FC2000 3/32" wicks from DV and so far am rather disappointed but am reserving judgment. One of six arrived broken (they were packed loosely into a 2 cavity plastic case, 3 per side but were rattling around and against each other). DV needs to use cotton or other filler to...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Many thanks for the clarification though I thought I read that PetSmart would not confirm composition. Most alumina ceramics are pure white or pale pink depending upon additives and processing. Something else is in the fishwicks and FC2000 but I am certainly not implying that they are unsafe...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Yes, is a concern. I have a chemistry degree and know materials but not a medical background, but silica particles can lodge in the lungs and irritate leading to fibrosis just like asbestos does. The lungs have no way to clear out such irritants and react by encasing them in fibrous tissue; is...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Great news! Thanks to tiburonfirst and to Feride for traillblazing on this effort. Am hopeful we'll soon have a new source and maybe even a better material with decent supply. This could be a very big win for all! :)

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Sound's like the way to go, I'm in too if available. I presume these would be alumina ceramic which should be superior to silica or clay-based ceramic. Silica dust is not good for the lungs and an engineered alumina would be optimal. This may be the best option for small-hole RBAs. I wish we...

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    lightandmind, have you received any responses on custom orders to the optimal dimensions? I share your concerns, less about carcinogens but more on the potential lung damage from "wrong" ceramics that might release micron-sized particulates during use or grinding (please do wear a dust mask...
