Could this be a viable wick material?

GRAINGER APPROVED VENDOR Ceramic Sleeves for H-23440 - Tweezers - 5ZPV7|5ZPV7 - Grainger Industrial Supply

I stumbled across this on Grainger's web site, I think it is approx. 2.5 -3" long X 2 so if it worked well you would have plenty of wicks for $6. I imagine you would have to make a cut lengthwise to make it a rectangular sheet and then roll it as you would stainless. My theory is it would not give the horrible dry hits like silica wicks do, I'm test running 1/8" fishwicks right now and it's amazing how efficiently this material transports liquid, if this sleeving is anything like that.......

I have no clue but there's a grainger next to my work and I was thinking if going by and picking up a brass rod and if they have something like this ill pick it up and give it a test.

This whole thing of using any old ceramic for wick that people seem to be doing lately scares me a little.

I suspect that if people knew what kind of stuff could be in it, they'd be a little more careful than to just pick up any old piece of it and start vaping it.

Lead, for example, is extremely common in ceramics, as are a whole lot of other things that can kill you if you're exposed to them long-term.

Everything probably has lead in it including your devices and rbas, cartos, everything. ..

I'd still like to use my brain and avoid it if at all possible

Debatable.
