The 1/8 fit's the zen'z~............snuggly, the wicks "need" some wiggle room, i'd say to all the zen~ holder's, wait for the grooved 7/64 wicks, it makes a world of difference, IMO.

I found that issue easily rectified by a grinding stone on a Dremel. I realize not everyone has a Dremel, but if you do it will buy you the little room you need for that wick to work perfectly.
Yea sandpaper and elbow grease doesn't cut it........i have to get the balls up to use the power tools on these fragile sticks.
Guys
Sorry for not being around.
Have daughters wedding happening on the 25th this month so as you can imagine it's been totally chaotic here doing stuff...
looks like the wick test video earlier is promising...
arghhh I wish I had time to spend right now to play with this stuff
talk soon

Me too! 5 pieces! On the way flying to me! Can't wait to vape it!
Hope can receive it this week...
can't wait too... are they supposed to be stronger?
Something funny about this store, they have 25g and 27g but no 26 gauge!!!
I ordered both. I really loved the 25g. problem is, I can only use it with the original FCs (that don't fit the AC9). I'm not exactly sure what's going on with the fishstick, but when i'm done with what seems to be a successful EHW, I discover that in fact it's cracked several times between coils... so frustrating. I hope these can bare the 25g...
Don't know, but Dan(Scubabatdan) did said it's fragile... No problem to me, I only use 30g.
Did you sand it down or just take the insulator out? I have a 1/8 and seems it doesn't fit my ZAP...
FANTASTIC! Thanx guys.
Definitely take the insulator out of the ZAP when using ceramic wicks. I've successfully used the 1/8 (non-slotted) in my ZAPs. Although some of them had to be sanded a bit so they had a loose fit sliding through the wick hole.
No sanding and i did take the insulater out, the 1/8 slotted DV wicks fit with out any problem, there seems to be some difference in size with the wicks from retailer to retailer
will do, i have a few non grooved wicks to play with, after i get a stockpile of the grooved, S.S. is going to be a thing of the past in my future. This ceramic tubing is expensive, some manufactures have a 250.00 min. order.
Do any of you boil these first or just rinse with water? Do you wrap it with unbleached cotton threads. Saw Riptrippers video on that. Thanks!
I give mine an initial boil, doesn't take long and can't hurt. Never used cotton or cheese cloth threading, some say it takes on a taste of it's own after a while but it does reduce break in time. If you reference the videos in this thread concerning wrapping I personally don't see the need for using anything else, you want the coil as tight as possible around the wick for best performance.
