Help: Other wicking options (Currently using : SSMesh)

[nfmous]

After seeing some stuff on carcinogens related to ss mesh and using it as a wicking material, I'd like to go on about trying some other wicks.


No, silica/fiberglass please.


I'm using a AGA-T+ (Smaller wick hole than AGA-T)

I want something I can chainvape on, something not insanely hard to wrap/make (Still new in the rba market)

I have found cotton candle wick to work well in my phoenix, but in my DID it doesn't stay wet enough.

Tons of threads on this, however I am using SS aircraft cable in my genesis style devices.

You could try the FC-2000 ceramic wicks. I just started using them and so far they compare favorably to mesh wicks once they break in.

Just as an FYI, I vape 80pg/20vg DIY juices. Not sure how they perform with thicker concoctions.

the only problem with you trying the fc-2000 wicks is that they do not make one to fit your device. i have an original aga-t, and for a couple of months they did make a 3/32 wick for it but they were to fragile so they discontinued them, so now the smallest size they make is 7/64, which doesnt fit in my aga, so not to sure if it will fit yours unless you drill out .

Yeah in don't really wanna drill it out, I read somewhere it was possible to wrap a coil without oxidizing... Howbhard is that and is there a guide somewhere can't seem to find it

Yes I used the search button lol

Search for the "pulse method". It's more of a "minimally oxidized" setup, though, because if you don't in some way oxidize the wick, it's going to short. Oxidizing makes it non-conductive and allows the coil to glow independent of the wick -- pulsing just does that in a more minimal way than torching heavily. Basically the coils oxidize the portion of the wick directly beneath the wire. You're still oxidizing the wick, just less.
