Ceramic braided wick

[Aubie80]

Do you use this stuff like silaca wrap on the outside or do you put mesh on the inside then wrap?

I used it to rebuild a evod head, so just like silica, I've never messed with mesh but it is just like silica only ceramic, and better.

Thanks, Lyle Devine. None of this info contradicts or poses new questions in relation to curt9733's : http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/health-safety-e-smoking/391369-nextel-xc-116-ceramic-sleeving-wicking.html#post9198510

The only thing I read different is that one of the above manufacturers mentions continuous fiberglass filament. Don't know if that's their product only, or if they are simply more descriptive about a "common" product type.

Unless I'm mistaken, you use it like Silica... but it has the non-burny (highly technical term, i know) properties of ss mesh.

Silica:
Pro- Flexible, non-conductive, cheep,
Con - burns, not durable

SS Mesh:
Pro - Heat resistant, durable, cheep
Con - not as flexible, conductive

Nextel:
Pro - Felxible, Heat Resistant, non conductive, durable
Con - EXPENSIVE / requires difficult heat treating before use

McMaster-Carr ,you can get it here and at https://www.minsealorder.com/Default.aspx?logout=true .Both places have them in stock.And yes it does not get that burnt silica taste like regular silica wick does.The taste is 100% better(my opinion) been using the ceramic rope in my RBA's for the past month and a half and love using this wick.It works extremely well with ribbon wire and wrapping dual coils.I have not been able to get a wick made up with this to use in my smok RDA yet because the ceramic is thick(even after unravelling)and i can't get the cap back on.This is still a work in progress for me to get a wick for this particular RDA.

Someone's gonna have to reinvent juice to keep up with us! I've been caramelizing some of the stuff in my .6Ω micro-coil dripper.

BTW: just received response to inquiry @ SNG. They do the 4 minute burn (sort of), Steve said that the ceramic ends up staying at temp for about 14 minutes.

I have no idea where you get your silica, but I've never had it burn. I usually light it on fire to clean it, comes out white and like new.
