Wow... Sounds interesting... However I have been doing some very quick reading and somewhat missed the quartz thing... Could anyone please fill me in... !?
Would this be safer... Etc !?

More heat= burning effect;you want something hot enough to vaporize beyond boiling...thin quartz tube must be red hot up to a point,its the quartz ability to sustain heat without shattering that makes it a primo choice over pyrex,then glass

Must use up the battery if its spending all that energy getting the temperature up to vapour
Cotton was tested and it works (last time I checked the thread, granted it's been a few days). The time/power used is just in heating the tube regardless of wick type, once it is hot enough the liquid vaporizes no matter how it is delivered.
Stocking what ... the quartz tubing?Jrcustomturning will be stocking these. Can't friggin wait
Stocking what ... the quartz tubing?
That's why a ceramic tube covering the whole thing would work. Keep the heat produced inside onto the juice and not heating the air around it.
I'm no engineer, but the following seems to make sense to me.
I haven't worked with these, but from what I can gather, before, the coil was covered in juice from the wick, right? In that case, it is heating juice from the inside. The heat has a short distance to go to reach the outside surface of the juice and heat it enough to vaporize it. Basically, it's popping the juice off of itself from the inside. It's also not directly heating the air outside the juice from a coil/air boundary. Same with cartos and clearos.
This new idea is more of an external radiation heat. The juice is being heated from the outside in. Since the coil is Dry and exposed to the air, the coil is now also heating the surrounding air in the chamber as well as the glass, juice, and mesh. If the surrounding air is being heated externally, the lower temperature difference at the air/juice boundary will reduce the amount of liquid that gets vaporized. I think e juice vaporization works because it is cooking the juice from the inside out across the surface of the coil. This creates much more juice/air boundary area for the state change to occur.
A ceramic sleeve covering the coil-glass-mesh assembly will prevent some of this by reducing the heat transfer to the surrounding air.
The mesh at the very top should be not super tight within the glass so that there is more air/juice boundary area.
It would actually be better if the top of the glass tube ended in a small horn shape. The juice and mesh adjacent to the coils is heated, the heat travels up, and the juice boils off the part of the mesh covered in juice at the very top. Unless changing the ID would defeat the capillary action.
TL;DR:
Heating the air inside the chamber directly = bad.
This also wastes battery power.
Increased juice/air boundary surface area = good.
Didn't I say something like that a while ago?
