From what I have read it is expensive. But for the amount that one would need for a wick it really would not be that expensive. I am thinking a thin rod would do the trick.

briefly what is it about the current materials available that makes it not suitable/safe for application

Plus I would think that the wick would last a really long time.
Just give me a cut if it actualy works.I'm thinking 80-20. LOL!
you know the alpha rez tank thing too bad we couldn't get a which made out of that porous rock material

Actually you can make aerogel out of silica. We made a formulation in college. Quite difficult but can be done. The problem is the silica becomes very friable and I don't think any of us really want to be inhaling glass particles intentionally. The production is really still in its infancy as of right now but in a few years who knows.
Other thinks can be used to make it as well, carbon being one I can remember. So far all I can find is sheets of it made for insulation purposes and fire ......ation. Will keep researching this.

Just some quick references.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't aerogel incredibly brittle? You'd have to be really careful with it, and I believe you'd have to handle it with gloves as it will literally suck the moisture from your fingers.
I think I'll stick with SS mesh.

Attached below is a picture of the clear tank made with the vinyl tubing (sorry, it's a cheap cell phone pic). It ain't perfect, but it was cheap and easy. It's a snug fit onto the threading. I made the top with a beveled washer. I just drilled the center hole out a little larger to fit the drip tip. The biggest problem is that it's fatter than the base, as you can see in the pic. Obviously, this particular pic is with the GLV, but it fits the GTUS the same. It actually doesn't stick out as far on the GTUS, but it still sticks out. Personally, I like the look better with the metal tops, so I just did this for fun, but I thought I would throw it out there as a cheap and easy alternative.
okay everyone providing I get permission I will be running a coop for a ghost protocol I have a local machine shop cuting tubes to length for both sizes and provide the washers in 1 shot I will not be doing any assembling of the parts. They will be shipped ready for you to be glued together and add to solder points . I'll post prices later this afternoon ........... who do I need to speak with to get permission run this co-op

just to be clear I want to set up a coop for the polycarbonate ghost protocol only,this coop was the only for polycarbonate tops. most likely I'll provide sets one 40 millimeter and one 50 millimeter and 2 end caps.

I think he's wanting to do the co-op for the clear 'ghost' tanks 'Karma', not the whole GtankUS.

Have all of these shipped yet? I know I signed up a while back and paid really just thought of it lol.
Nope, not yet, eastman. There have been a few hiccups pushing the timeframe out quite a bit. The faulty parts are back at the machine shop being corrected right now. Hopefully we're getting close, now
The RES is made of ceramic, youssefa ;-)
Okay GHOST PROTOCOL!!!!!!!!
Waiting on responce from Joker to officially start the coop. Got the quote back from shop. For 2 tubes(1x40MM, 1x50mm) and 2 end caps/tube plug with hole for standard 510 drip tip. Cost is a little morethan I would have liked but approx 20$+shipping. I was quoted for 50 sets(100 tubes and 100 washers). If I get MORE than the price goes down. I should get delivery within 1 week of placing the order and then 1 week to ship. I work 3rd shift so I have a backwards shedule.:.......................
okay I heard back from joker the coop is a go. I'll be posting it in the next day or so
