V-man.....I know you can do it.....lol....I'm talking about the rest of us with shaky hands. My slightly burnt finger tips can heal. A broken wick is gone forever. Or tossed in the dripper wick bin.
BTW, the ones I received have a bit of play in the chid wick hole.
what i was trying to say was that i believe the newer ones, or some of the 3/32 wicks seem to be smaller then the ones that i was having luck with. looking at the ones that i just recieved, i am not so sure if my results would of been the same.
makes sense for i know they could make them, but to sell them here doesnt seem right. you would think that when something is patent in the usa, that it cannot be sold in the usa. i guess the usa doesnt loose either way, for they probably make money on the patent, and also make money on the device that they put a patent against. doesnt a patent cost?

dont have a chid to compare, but the new ones i got look like they would break if i just look at them wrong.

I speak read and write Greek well (Greek Parents), actually English was technically my second language if you want to get critical about what I learnt first but I was born, live and grew up in Australia, I have worked in Greece, I have a house in Greece and Ive gone to Greece 12 times and sometimes for extended periods.
This guy in the video did not mention the removal of the sleeve but looking at it I would say it's press fitted and therefore should be removable but I dont know so dont quote me on that.
I found this unit on a Greek Website Here, maybe you can use Google Translate to view it in English

UPDATE: There is an English Icon Flag that works on that site, so all good.

Oh dont get me started, I had a patent on a design and started manufacturing and then I see my product on sale at 1/2 the manufacturing cost value made by a Chinese Company, which was held by another company which was funded by another company which was employing from another company the thing was so mixed up it would take a year to work out who stole the design and if they had anything I could take them to court over.....
Then I had a multi million dollar company take another patent design from me and they were US based, all the research all the investments out the window... lost... because someone thinks its a good idea to tare someones hard work away from them.
After that I charged up front for my designs... give all writes to the design to them and walk away. (when asked to design something)
But I have more fun and enjoy it more when I simply give away my design ideas to the public and share ideas with everyone like in here in forums etc... I find 100 minds thinking together design far better stuff as a group in days than any one individual could hope to achieve in a year.
Anyway my design days are way over... havent designed a single thing to sell in over 15 years... cant be bothered anymore
Arghhh here I go again... venting....
sorry people...

I'm using a 1/8 ceramic with a 4/5 wrap & getting 2.2ohms with 32 gauge wire the vapor is good flavor is very muted...question is do I need more wraps for better flavor? Would like to keep the ohms down in case I do need more wraps so I got some 30 gauge on the way...BTW the wick has had about 5ml through it so far
Im using 30 gauge and thinking of going down to 28 gauge as it seems the thicker the better, I have some 36 gauge here I tried and it was useless but that being said the flavor should not be muted, I usually have a strong flavor mix and with these ceramics I actually re-mixed my juices to add another 50% PG/VG just to reduce the flavor hit.
What is the mix you use as I use a 50/50 PG/VG mix and thats getting towards the thick side I have also tried 70/30 in them and the flavor was intense.
Something just doesnt sound right... check the coil make sure its not glowing red anywhere
If your a high VG user then that could account for some of the reason, but I am sure others here use straight VG and it still wicks and still full of flavor.

Yea It's a 50/50 blend all coils glowing even before I added juice no hot spots, I don't know what's up weird

32 guage should cause the muting though, just a thought though perhaps torching the wick might make a difference, Ive heard of ceramics doing things to flavor like the terminator style ceramic core taking like 10 tanks to get the flavor right (one would think you would do something after the first tank but heh it wasnt me) then someone came up with torching the ceramic and problem was solved, so perhaps pull it out carefully leaving the coil in place and torch it all the way along... cant hurt to try that, make sure you use some tweezers and hold onto it well, you got to make it glow red hot (be careful as it now has juice in it and it will spit)
anyone else have any suggestions?

For all my .....ing about how fragile these things are I had a win today. Dropped my mod (Provari) with DID attached (glass tank) from full height (about 5ft I would say) down onto a hardwood floor. Took a little bit of the edge off with some fancy footwork but it still hit HARD!. Glass did not break, no marks on the mod, all electronics fine and . . The wick did not break. I could not believe it. Some days are diamonds I guess.
I've got two set up so far (A DID clone with 1/8 wick & an AGA-T2 drilled to accept 1/8 wick - both using 30ga)....both were very muted at first & had kind of a "concrete" flavor. It took a full tank, or a little more until the flavors started to really come through, but both are now getting better all the time.
I highly recommend using the 30ga Kanthal... it seems most people are reporting better results with it (so far anyway). It seems like the ceramics like a larger diameter wire. It appears to be a trade-off between flavor & response time (if you are using a Mechanical however, that's a moot point). I'm going to try the Kanthal ribbon the next time I rebuild the coils, but they seem to be lasting much longer for some reason...
I've got the AGA running Boba's (100%VG) and it took the longest to start shining, but once the ceramics start wicking properly, you won't believe the difference. I plan to get my other RBAs converted to ceramics as I get the chance. I don't plan on going back to Stainless Steel wicks any time soon (and just when I was getting really good at making them too
)Patience.....

Thanks, no thats an FC... I haven't snapped another FC since I put my ZAU aside
well, didn't know about the 25 either until I ordered the flat ribbon from the german guy pointed out by gdeal. He only had the 25 so I took 10m to try out...
I have to say its pretty phenomenal. the pb is the 5 wrap still can't be measured on my provary, so it's probably around .7 ohm.
The big difference here with a 28g .7 is that you have the whole wick working for you instead of just a 2/3 wrap (which can be a bit harsh). So your vaporizing an insane amount of juice, you can almost feel the juice on you tongue. the cloud, its a 19watt cloud... A bit extreme but doesn't feel like so...really really nice. response time is similar.
Edit: It has been stated you can't go low res with the ceramic because the wick can't keep up. This isn't true anymore with the EHW method.

does this one have an auto trigger? meaning it stays on w/o holding down a buton? also, does it go out on you when the head gets too hot? thats the issue i have with my pencil torch20 bucks at Bed, Bath, Beyond, has adjustable flame - it works fine for me.
coil was wrapped tight, evenly spaced. only thing was it was a high ohm coil... the one in the video. not gettting "plumes of smoke". or a fast hit off of it.

Concrete flavor perfect description!!! Way back in my younger years was a brick & block slave I guess I'll never forget the smell of that diamond blade sending clouds of concrete all over......
