No not at all! in fact I insist we find better ways, it's a team effort here like Ive said in the past if sticking a wire down a tube proves to be the best way then that is what we should do, the more we all experiment the better the result.
Hey Vap ...
How do these slotted wicks hold up horizontally? Do they leak?
If you have some details, esp. clearance distance between wick and wickhole it would be something I could work with.
Well done on getting a hold of these wicks and reporting your findings to us. Cheers.

Where did you get them ?
Frog ... you may have to go back a few pages. I don't have them, Vap does and is reporting on their results in a video on page 202.
Oh man, Ive been using a fresh carto today, was out on the road all day doing stuff, you know how sometimes you get that one carto that just shines above the rest, well I got that good carto again, going to make sure I dont run this one dry or change the flavored juice I use in this one and hopefully it will last a little longer than normal... on the other side of things my daughter went through two cartos in 1 day.... damn breaking the budget here... lol... she dropped her whole tank batt etc and the new carto died, and the one she changed from she vaped dry because she was out last night and ran out of juice she said she got around 100 puffs before it started burning.... she was drinking..... thats her excuse... lol
So have they started selling the slotted ceramics? if so where? and can we get a close look at one in photos somehow?
Today I have had issues getting onto youtube, been a real issue cause there is a video a couple pages back I am now hanging to see. Guess tomorrow it will be...
Did I mention I got a fluke carto..... vaping as I type....

So yesterday, just before I was about to get ready to go out for the weekend, I did a wet burn and still couldn't get the gunk off it tasted burnt and noticed the middle coils somehow got loose, so I decided to recoil it. As I'm doing the hot wrap, I must have applied too much pressure because I don't use anything except for some pliers to hold one side of the kanthal... Because it snapped! Around the area where the temperature was cooler on the wick. I tear rolled down my face, I thought, "fudge! Now I have to go out while having to break in the wick again?!" However, for an unknown reason the last wick I put in is hitting much better from the last. Could it be from the other liquid I used being darker and a little think? I'm not sure, but threw in my current all day vape and I'm loving it! The break in time on this one was only 1 hour of on and off vaping. That was the drive up to my cousin's house.
Cool note, went to a karaoke bar last night and the waitress said it was ok for us to vape! There were only 2 other beginner vapers there in our room... Of course my vapor was bigger and tastier! And because I brought out my k100 with an ac9 on that, I couldn't set it down with all my cousins being drunk (I had to drive so I took a few shots with the birthday celebrant so I can sober up before we went home. So whenever the wanted to use mine, I'd pull out my opus with a regular atty on it.

28ga Kanthal hand-wrap to 1/8 FC-2000 wick.
Wire electrically annealed, time consuming to coil ... turtle pace ... about 10 minutes, great care required, but doable. I'll do a video on it sometime, but can't do it now.
No break-in period, but after tank 2 it really hauled .... Much better vape than 30ga. It walks all over the other Genny I have fitted with 28ga, 1/8" on 500 SS -- that harshness isn't found on ceramics. I get more vapor on the 1.4Ω ceramic wick than the 1.2Ω SS.
Not recommended for newbies, you'll break the wick.

So...where can one get this wick at the moment?
I've had it up to here with SS!!
I've had it up to here with SS!!
About .2Ω per wrap/turn. It's a 1.4Ω coil. I get more than plenty of vape on it and will do my next Genny at 1.6Ω as I prefer the cooler vape, so about 8 wraps/turns. It's a juice hog though, I just cleaned out this tank in 90 minutes, and I expect to drain another 2-3 before the day is up. Great nic buzz.
Join the club.

Yeah, the consensus on this thread for sure. DV has them in stock (see link below). Be sure you know what size you need and that is determined by the device wick hole you hav, or are willing to drill to.
DiscountVapers.com - Search Results for "fc 2000"
I believe he just means heat treating the wire before coiling the wick.
Just checked out DV and unfortunately they are all out of stock. Tank has the 1/8" size I believe (twice the price though) if desperate to get some. I am thinking it might be better to wait for the latest version now after the reports above but, man I am totally happy with the last batch at the moment. Below is a direct link to the wicks on DV showing availability:

Ok that makes sense...I thought he may have done some sort of electric hot wrap.
I posted about this earlier on this thread.
4" piece of 28ga Kanthal, one end fastened to neg. screw, other to pos. post. Measure resistance and adjust/slide wire through until you hit no more than 2.4 ohms. (Higher ohm values do not fully glow the wire unless you're using a mechanical with stacked 18350s.) Pulse for 10-15 seconds at maximum power about a dozen times, letting it fully cool down each time between pulses (15-30 seconds or so). This makes the wire extremely pliable for wrapping, more so than torching it. (based on my experience). [Use Provari or 6v mechanical, as most other mods do not uniformly glow the wire, which is another story I'll be doing some testing on at some point, as this explains why flavors are off on non-mechanical mods.]
Then loosen pos. post and start wrapping with wick already installed. Slow tight wraps, using the opposite thumb/finger to counter-pressure against the wick to prevent it from breaking. All done in super slow motion. When I wrap them, TIME does not exist, that's the type of patience required to get this done right.

I get it thanks...sounds like the Matrix with slow motion precision....luv to see a video with the effects.
finally got to see the video, great vid by the way, very descriptive, clear and precise anyone can follow it and get the exact same result, well done
Ive since started using a jewlers hand drill to grip the ceramic after seeing someone else do it, fingers got burnt a few too many times.... lol
like the toothpic wedge and carto everyone has them sitting around, simplicity...
with that top coil going hot what I do is fire it up and use a toothpic to push the wire against the wick, I also wrap the excess wire back to the point where the wick and kanthal touch so in essence the kanthal is double thickness from the center post until the edge of the first wrap starting point on the wick, again someone here showed that in a pic and I tried it and it works well.
Thats a serious amount of vapor by the way
Well done
