it is a sleeving material so yes, it has a hole in the center and the ID is the measurement specified
So its not a 1/16 rope? It has a hole inside?

The NEXEL Alumina-Bora-Silica fibers are by far superior to the fiberglass wick, but you need to remember that those are braided ceramic sleeving and teh size measurements are I.D, not O.D. The fiberglass wick we are using will actually fit INSIDE of the XC4-116 sleeve. With a wall thickness of .074" it will be about 1/8" OD and will be far too big to use without somehow eliminating the internal hole.
Do we know the wall thickness?
ID: 1,6 mm
Wall thickness: 0.69 mm
Overall Thickness: 2.9591 mm
I'm pretty sure JonahNM is using the 1/16 in his Iatty.
It seems, though, that 440 can survive thermal and chemical abuse a bit better.. I want to know what Rick and Zoranth think about the 440 specifications. Maybe LordEros33 should read it too.. but after he bought 100 yards of 316, i doubt he'll want to read about 440 ;P
I don't want to wait anymore, bring on the testing!![]()
Yes, this is correct, that makes it nearly double the OD of the rope we are currently using.
I came across a ceramic twisted rope that is incombustible and has a service temp of 2300 deg. F and max temp of 3000 deg F. This may work very nicely if it is available in 1/16"
This is made in USA so I sent an inquiry to them for a datasheet/msds, to see if 1/16" OD is possible and to request pricing. I'll put the info I get here when I hear back.
If you compare the E2 wick and the one I send with Iatty, they both say that they are at 1,5mm but the one that I send is double the width of the E2 wick Lord. The way they messure is totally different. So if this rope has a hole then if we squezze it it will be about the same size as the one we curently use on Iatty as I see it
So do you have this wick already Lord? Does it has the right dimentions for Iatty?
That is why I said it may fit if it can withstand being manipulated like that. I have used it in other things and it is a very good wick that can be cleaned with fire.
Does anyone know if there is a 801 ceramic with a stem coming out of the bottom available? I took an 801 ceramic out ofa 801 atty but there's no stem he bottom is flat.
The 801 ceramic is bigger around which would allow for a longer coil. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with 801 cartomizers.
Thanks for any responses.
