fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

[gdeal]

Well guys I just received the email with the breakdown of the Sintered Ceramic White Airstones I recently purchased
these are the only things in it

We are glad to tell you that the mineral is exactly made from
calcium(Ca),
Carbon (C)
Magnesium（Mg)

Well I know magnesium is good for the body, heck I take tablets every day, calcium is what we have in us already and we are made of carbon....


If carbon in the air is too high (for example a coal mine) sometimes lungs can get irritated, but the carbon content in a white ceramic would be so low...

Additionally it's is all bonded at the atomic level being sintered nothing should "detach"

Elias

Elias, I need to go find it, but I remember seeing a "ceramic" material that had these materials and they were temp rated much lower that what we are using....I'll be back on this later when I have the info source...

Edit: Nevermind...it did not have Magnesium or Carbon in it only Calcium...

 

[gdeal]

You forgot chain spewing and chain . . . well you know

....chain posting.

That's where I got my Kanthal Ribbon from (.5 X .1mm). I got it in less than a week.... he even threw in a little silica wick for a little freebee. Good guy to deal with.

I've only used it in a dripping atty so far (IGO-L) to give it a try ...a real bear to work with in that small an area, but so far, the results have been pretty good. My other attys are all running perfectly right now, so I don't want to tear any of them down, but will give it a try when one of them starts going south...

BTW - don't forget that you will have to do one ore two additional wraps with this stuff than you normally do to hit your desired Ohm ratings.

Hey Deadperfect: I have seen a couple of videos saying to stay out of rms mode. Not even sure why they made it an option. P Busardo has a whole review on the Vamo on youtube and I think he discusses the rms thing on there. Possibly a good one to take a look at. Man, if my mod was behaving like that it would have gone through a window long ago. Hilarious man, your life begins now . . .

ill look into that. thanks for the heads up.

Ok, thanks! I'll keep in mind!

Were only speculating at this stage, heck the thing may fall apart at the heat of 100 deg, who knows... I should have it next week some stage and then we shall test, and then under the microscope in the lab at my office, see how it looks close up after heating etc. before and after shot are a must to compare. heh it's got to be able to handle the EHW at the very least...

It might not even wick well...

but it's white.... lol

 

[turspedie]

ok ill try that, thanks..

man, this ceramic wick is crazy.. im getting nicotine rush's from vaping some max strenth Amroma ejuice's, Gi Joe! time to finally put away the damn Bugler roling cigs ive been smoking while stressing out on my malfunctioning vamo for 2 months.

Are you vaping WTA or non-WTA from Aroma? I get a lot of gunk from this juice and I'm trying to figure out if its the WTA or something else.

 

[DeadPerfect]

WTA from Aroma

 

[turspedie]

My favorite juice by far. Can't really do non-WTA at this point lol, but it does make for a lot of gunk on the wick

 

[vapdivrr]

well with me after be riddled with issues of electronic cheap batteries (well sometimes not so cheap) I decided to go mechanical, am I am glad I did when I did... one of the guys at the office noticed my smoktech natural about a month ago and since then he has gone through 4 batteries of the other kinds, today he conceded defeat and went the smoktech as well. Sure I want the caravela etc but its too costly and have to wait too long.

I have a complete turning, milling, presses, benders, CNC and well you name it machines at my disposal and stainless steel just sitting in shelves brass copper alloys etc and I know what we pay for the raw materials and if I could be bothered I could turn one and mill one myself on a weekend and the raw material could not come in at more than $5

So I cant justify spending sooooo much when I know I could make similar yeah probably not as classy unless I involved the design engineers but all I need is a button and a tube with a 510 connector on top. oh yeah the connectors are like $3 so almost doubled the cost with that...

Im quite happy to pay $50 because someone who spends time designing needs to be paid for it, I get it, but $200

Same goes for the atty's but they are more involved than the mods, yet somehow they are cheaper... (well except for a couple)

And as far as the wicks, well come on.... gee.... I dont even want to start on that one....

Yet here we are... all spending, all trying and the costs are high

I guess in our own little way we find justification in it because were saving money (let alone our health) every day we dont buy a packet of smokes...

Arghhhh maybe I shouldnt be writing when I am drinking.... but thats the time I sit back, read some reports, read some forums, watch some funny people on youtube and sit back and relax after yet another wild week at the office...

OMG I wrote too much

Elias

elias, i didnt mean the caravela, i meant the batterys. i was asking what you thought about the aw imr batterys, compared to the trustfires. sorry if i didnt clarify. you probably thought i was bragging about my mod.

what exactly is the wta juice?

 

[vapdivrr]

Hey Guys...on batteries.

When I said "vape time" I meant actual current flowing and the atty firing. Depending upon how I vape during the day, they can last a couple of hours. I have also gone through them in one sitting on a chain vape..too.

The 18350's I have are AW IMRs and they have 700 mAH. The faster drain rate of the lower ohm coil and the fact that I need 3 extra seconds of heat up time on every 10 second pull are the battery killer factors here.

gotch gdeal, i was thinking 10 minutes? what the heck. anyways gdeal, is it to early to ask you if you prefer the ribbon over the regular wire? and also factoring in the difficulties in actually wrapping the ribbon. do you think that once you get profficient in hot wrapping the ribbon, it will get just as easy as regular wire? i also was thinking of trying the ribbon, but so far i dont know. thanks

 

[vapdivrr]

Stay tuned for the Elias Mod? Followed by the Elias atty - purpose built for ceramic wicks

that might be a great nitch.

Oh no, I digressed, I was initially starting with batteries and went onto other subjects with no real direction in mind....

The IMR batts are better than trustfire heck I have so many types here and the efest seem to hold up the best out of the cheaper types...

I have a battery analyzer I should put them on and do the tests, but it takes 48 hours of slow charge / rapid / slow discharge and cyles over various patterns and reflects the true capacity, but setting it up takes some effort... oh and do you have a caravela? I would bragg if I had one, it's limited edition ....

and I was drinking last night when I was typing... I meant no insult direction of downer on anyone or anything so if I came across wrong for anyone please excuse me.... I was frustrated with many things happening in my life.... I just vented a little....

[beanpusher]

not sure if they fix them, but its fine in n02 mode, so its all good. speaking of airholes.. anyone with an aga-t and a ceramic wick bore out their air hole and get better vapes? i was thinking about opening it to 1/16th.

I bore all my rba's to 3/32. I like an airy draw when im vaping under .8 ohms. But thats my opinion. Most people do go with the 1/16 but maybe you should try it for a few days before you open it up. Sometimes we're used to vaping a certain way.

 

[turspedie]

what exactly is the wta juice?

WTA stands for "Oher tobacco alkaloids" , so nicotine is only one of several alkaloids found in tobacco, WTA juice has those alkaloids, and you get a more satisfying experience if you are vaping to stay away from analogs. It's something new and the risks/ health effects are not documented so the general advice is to not go WTA if you are already happy with regular juice. In my personal experience, I was chain vaping all day but deep down just wishing I could have a cigarette, until I switched to WTA, now I don't have the slightest desire for an analog at any point of the day, even when having a few drinks, I rather vape than smoke.
Same thing goes for the ceramic wicks, now that I use ceramic I can't see myself going back to anything else. I'm just trying to find the best setup for ceramic and WTA.

 

[TBinAZ]

WTA stands for Whole Tobacco Alkaloids. It's a process of extracting the tobacco taste and some of the "good" alkaloids that are present in most burnable tobacco products these days. The alkaloids are some of the compounds your body becomes addicted to after smoking for some time. This process attempts to isolate the good alkaloids from the bad, and provides you with probably the closest experience to consuming a burning tobacco product without actually doing it.

I was a huge fan of Jerry's stuff at Aroma Ejuice Aroma Ejuice until I made it over the hump as far as tobacco addiction. Good guy and some decent juices.

 

[Absintheur]

well...got my ceramic wicks in the mail today. The hole on the Ikarus is small and as a result I used a 3/32 wick. Followed the soaking directions. Wound the coil first on a drill bit shaft then gently "screwed" it onto the wick. Put it into the genny and hooked it up. Good glow on coils...dripped on some juice...big vapor.

Question...how long till the ceramic starts wicking well? I am getting mostly burnt dry hits from it.

 

[StaircaseWit]

I'm no expert and have never wrapped a coil on ceramic, but I've followed this thread from the beginning.

Looking at your pic, your coils are *way* too loose for ceramic. They're way too lose for SS mesh as well. People are wrapping directly on the ceramic or using the EHW technique to get super-tight coils.
