fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

[vapdivrr]

I use a 4/3 wrap of 32 - usually comes in around 1.8 to 2.0 ohms. Been thinking about trying a mechanical mod to try 0.8 to 1.2 ohms but not there yet. Restricted by the vamo limits.

well you dont need to go that low in one step, you can try some 30g and try a resistance of maybe 1.3, which should be within the vamos limits, personally i always perfered the lower end but it sounds like your results are very good now, so just enjoy it.

You bet going to buy some shortly...what did you do about the shortness of the wick in the AC9, just let it hang in the air?

yes, until they come out with the longer ones, the only size they have now is a standard 1-1/2 lenght. this works fine in all other gennys except for the ac-9. although it is short its really not to bad. it sits off the bottom some. you know where the actual plastic tank ends, and before the metal bottom skirt edge, this is where mine is, actually a little less than 2mm above this point. i would say that this wick would be perfect at 1-3/4 in lenght, so it is 1/4 too short, this doesnt sound like much but it kind of is, for you just have to fill it more often. these wicks will burn through some juice, so keep a bottle close by. when setting up the ac-9 just try to keep the wick as low as possible in the wick hole before wrapping.

Yea, I'm a hopeless vaping adict - especially with this setup. My consumption goes down a bit at work but on the weekends its katy bar the door!

same here, not much at work but after that it seems like my set-up is always in my hand. the next venture might be making my own juice. the only thing is that i have finally found 3 juices out of about a hundred that i have tried to date, that i can vape all day, so venturing into diy, i will loose those flavors. i dont think that i can reproduce the flavors that i am vaping right now (mostly COV juices).

Just wondering of the 30g and lower ohms would provide that much more flavor.

Off topic, but you just might wind up making juice that you like better than whatever you're buying. There's a learning curve to it, just like anything else. I used to be a hard core Vermillion River vaper. But I haven't purchased a bottle of vendor juice in nearly two years. I make everything myself.

i have always perfered thicker wire for increased flavor, this is why i exclusively used 28g with ss mesh. also i always felt that the vapor in a low resistant set-up was much thicker then a higher resistant set-up. my favorite set-up is probably a 0.8Ω coil with 28g in a mechanical mod. now with the ceramic i have yet to try this set-up, for a couple of reasons, one being the first wick that i was running was the 3/32 wick. but yesterday i have set-up my ac-9 with the 1/8 wick and after this puppy really gets going, like tommorow i will try it on my mechanical mod to see if it can keep up. now the very first day with the 3/32 wick, i initially set it up with 32g ,just to break it in and after a couple of days switched to the 30g, on the 3/32 wick this ohmed out at 1.2 with a 4/5 wrap. this was imo, way better then the 32g that i had on the day before. now at the moment i have 29g on the 1/8 wick for the ac-9, 4/5 wrap @1.2Ω. i perfer a 1.2 ohm coil on the provari for this resistance gives me about the very most the provari has to offer. a 1.2Ω coil at 4.1v on the provari is just about maxed out, 14watts and 3.4amps.

so do you google recipes to start? how do you actually get going? is there a thread here in the forums on recipes? thanks rule

 

[Thrasher]

lol you do know there is a DIY forum here right?

 

[ericska]

Been a week vaping stone wick... Did anyone notice that the juice never turn dark again after using stone wick? Or it was just me...?

And I am wondering, why going for low resistance below 1.2Ω? More vapor? Taste better? What's the benefit? Being thinking of DIY a mech mod, but don't want to over discharge my expensive batteries cause mech mod is totally unprotected... Sorry for off topic and help will be very much appreciated.

Edit: or someone show me to a correct thread. Thanks!

you know honestly i knew there was a juice section and just thought it was people talking about different juices, but tbh, i didnt know there was one specifically for like recipes. you know i must get around a little bit more. so thanks thrash

you know this topic is been tossed around for a long time, its the low resistant guys vs the high resistant guys. i am just a low resistant kind of guy. i have always felt that a thicker wire produces a better flavor, and that a lower resistant coil produces a thicker vape. some people like to vape a certain wattage, my perferd wattage is between 13 to 17 watts, thats just me, so now its a matter of whether this wattage is going to be a high resistance, high wattage or a low resistance high wattage. well i just prefer the low resistance, high wattage much better. now with a mechanical mod, with these wattages, my batterys will out last my batterys in my provari any day. i can vape a 0.8 ohm coil for like 10 hrs in my mechanical mod, in my provari my baterys will only last 4 hrs with a 1.2ohm coil at 4 volts. then you will say that the vape in the mechanical mod will suffer as the bats are depleting, not really true, its hard to really feel the drainage from 17 watts to 14 or 13, its very slow and you really dont feel it that much. so for me this is not an issue, and with quality hi drain batterys this is well within the limitatins of the actual batterys. so in short lol, this is why i perfer low resistant coils, they are just hands down better. now for ceramic, i dont know yet, for i havent tried all of the possibilities yet. so far i must say that the 30g 1.2 ohm coil is out performing the 32g 1.8 ohm coil that i was running before.

thanks buddy, i will check it out. more so then ever because i am eating up some juice with the ceramic.

also i forgot the mid-range vapors, this is usually some who vapes 32g/ 2.0Ω @ 4 ish volts. its all good, its just a matter of preference. and yes its awesome that the juice stays crystal.

I like 32awg. Lately I've been fooling with 30awg, on my bigger wicks, like the 1/8" ones in my DIDs. I generally vape somewhere between 9 and 12 watts, depending on the juice.

Hmm... so lower resistance produces more vapor, means it produces higher temperature and heat up faster... sound great. Just ordered 30g Kanthal A1 after reading.

I am always at this set up. 4 wraps 32g Kanthal A1 on 2.8mm stone wick always get me 1.8 to 2.1Ω, with Vamo fires at 8 to 8.5 watts and VV Gripper fire at 4.0 to 4.2 volts. I'm going to try 30g when it arrived.
Thank you very much, Vapdivrr!

you know i really dont quite know why the lower resistances do this, all i can say from months and months of trying different set-ups is that gor sure, thicker wire has more flavor, also is much more stable, and does produce a thicker vape, not neccesarily more vapor but thicker vapor. also i am not sure about a lower resisant coil being hotter, to me when i have tried like 32g at higher resistances, i actually found them to be hotter, and more harsh. the thicker wire is just more smooth with a thicker richer vapor and flavor. i think of it this way, its called low resistance because the electrons are less inhibited by the wire, its thicker so they travel easier, so they are happy. thinner wire puts more of a strain on them, so you need more volts to squeeze them through, they arent as happy and the extra volts adds an electricity taste to it. a thicker wire is more of a hi performance wire, where race cars are cruzing through, whereas a thinner wire is a pile up. thats just my take on it anyways.. but like i said before, ceramic is all new to me, its maybe been 2 weeks, so i havent done a lot of comparing. all i can say is the 30g, lower resistant coil is far out performing the 32g. as far as 28g and really low resistances, not to sure yet. with really low resistances your wick needs to really put out to keep up, and so far i see no problems for ceramic to do so.. also these results are for the fc-wicks for i havent tried the bubble stones yet, they very well might be the same, but doubt it. i do believe there is something definately different to the fc-wicks, maybe not much but some. i do believe that they have tweeked the porousity and heated to a much higher temp, but who knows

Mine is set up with a 2ohm coil and I am vaping @ 4.5 volts on a Provari

froggy, whats up? any better?

I had to do a dry burn this morning, I put 3 mls of a sample juice in the tank and it gummed up the coil, juice turned black.....tasted like poo.
I'm currently vaping a familiar flavor.....and it's just as good as in a carto w/tank. So it looks like things are looking up, I will be shopping for some 30 gauge in the near future myself...just need to find a vendor that will mail it to me
