Did you get that ceramic wick set up this weekend?
You won't go wrong either way, I've tried [trying both]

I"m on a AGI ssmesh 400, 3 wraps of Kanthal 28 Gauge for a .4ohm vape on a K100 Mechanical.

It's an excellent vape that approaches the Bottom Fed mods.

At this point in time I recommend Bogger Box VV over the Reo Grande. I'll leave it at that for the moment as the jury is out whether I received a defective Reo or the Reo can't take Low Ohm vaping [.5 Ohm]. Or whether I broke the Reo and did a bad rebuild.
As for Bottom Feeding verse Genesis

The Squonk, involves instant saturation of the wick and draws excess provides the ultimate
vape because you get instant wicking. The Reomizer [Arguably] the best rba for bottom feeders is
much easier to build.

Still the AGI is giving me an excellent vape.
and have tried both.

I like the bottom feeder better than the AGI but the AGI [Genny Style] is very good.
I bought a Lanyard to hang around my neck for the AGI because if it tilts adios big mess in your pocket.

Never had that problem with the Bottom Feeders.

Have you heard of in information on the health risks if any of the xc-116. what or how is it made, in order to form a pliable ceramic.
Again, even never having tried a genny, based on my own experience and the testimony in the what, 40 or so posts in your thread in REOsmods forum, I'm not coming to the conclusion that a REO only excels at portability?

To me, the vape is as good as I will ever need a vape to be., Consistent, Copious, voluminous clouds of insanely satisfying, bland, cigarette like vapor are what my REOs churn out.

I'm not on a budget. If I want something, I get it. I could get any vaping devices I damn well please. That's why I have the best vaping devices available. Wether I'm sitting here on the porch or riding my dirtbike with my REO bouncung around in a belt pack.

There's nothing out there that could produce a better vape than I get from my REOs, a good RBA and a micro coil around some XC 116 ceramic or rolled cotton. If it does, I don't need it :).

There's a wide margin (if you're paying attention) between sufficient torch heat to clean it vs. the amount of torching that weakens it. Having done both, I feel very comfortable cleaning with a gentle torching until pristine white. First couple times, I would recommend being willing to sacrifice a dirty wick to establish the difference and/or pinching and pulling at the ends of a cleaned wick to confirm stability.

I believe a propane torch flame can reach temperatures of 3600 F. This is excessive.

Yeah, but what's in this stuff to make it pliable, I know there is alumina in it, but what's the other stuff, and how safe is it. You have the same problem with fc-2000 or other ceramic wicks, you can't torch them to much or it destroys the structure of the ceramic, as result propane and butane torches are tricky, I like to hot wrap my coils, and use the stove top,because the flame is so diffused it keeps the temp down, and it will turn the wick white again, but I don't really know if you can completely clean a ceramic wick.

Never got around to it. Than my VV Bogger Box arrived and I had to make a 1.2 Ohm Wick for it.

I'm so happy on my VV Bogger Box vaping 1.2 Ohm at around 5V on a Reomizer with 2 strands of 1.5mm EkoWool [Russian Synthetic] and 4-5 wraps of 29 Gauge Kanthal that my Agi is relegated to testing and backup purposes.

I have a new Sony Battery SONY US18650VTC3 coming in at the end of the week that is supposed to do 30Amps continuous and I can't wait to see how it works on the AGI
