Not around the coil. The coil is wound around the fibers.

You guys really have atomizers with a coil wound around nothing??

edit: I'm not kidding that I have 100 of these things. If they fixed/changed the design, please let me know.. but every single one of mine has a coil wound around silica fibers inside. The knock-offs are sloppier than the official ones, but both have it.

One use is all they are intended for anyway. I think the advantage to jingai's method is that the fibers at the bottom of the wick likely stick to the coil and don't get disturbed, loosened, and sucked into the vapor stream... Jingai is just using them as they were intended. That's kind of rare with any equipment around here. We want the hardware to last forever. Kind of odd since most of us used to throw away 20-40 analogs every day!:vapor:

No I think you're right, but my coil wick is completely coated, I won't have a chance to macro till tomorrow night but I'll show you. I love these atties tho, I'm curious how long I can keep one going before I feel its not up to par
Yes, there is a tiny silica wick inside of the coil. After a time it will be look a kind a mess. At the one of my attys I even changed the tiny ss wick to its place.

I can see it.:) Velleman, Inc. - Item - Details

Had my eRoll for about a month now and yesterday it fired twice while charging in my pocket. Bad battery switches? Don't think I'll be charging these unattended for awhile. Anyone else but VC and me experience this?
If it started to crackling by self, the battery has a 10 sec cutoff time. Maybe that can protect it enough.

My coils have a small piece of silica in them too. I'd like to replace it with SS but have held off because it seems it'd be too tedious.

I've had my attys drop in performance but its always been that its flooded. I remove the atty and blow in the bottom with a paper towel on the spike. A drop or two to reprise and its good to go. I think they've only flooded at work, in my pocket, going from outside job (cold) to a hot inside job. Seems a pretty good thermal swing can cause them to flood due to expansion. I've noticed this with my Ody attys too. Wouldn't want to leave these in the car in the summer time, I did that with an Ody once, made a mess even with juice control closed.

So... I guess I missed that there's a lot of flavors of juice you're not supposed to use with these :( Missed that and ordered some of those. Big bummer :(

You can use any flavor you want, some might be really hard on the atty though. I vape a lot of Boba's Bounty but haven't even tried it in the eRoll. The reason being, it has a lot of solids in the flavoring and I think it would quickly clog the wick and gunk the coil. The "tank cracker" juices seem to effect riding plastics not the softer flexible ones like these tanks use. You shouldn't have any worries with them.

It would be just as easy to rewick with anything else as long as the wick was thin enough to be pushed into the atty. Whats wrong with SS wick? Arent the entire atties made out of SS?

The are a couple of recent threads raising questions about the formation of Cr6 on ss at high temp. Cr6 is bad. It is well known to be produced when ss is welded. The question being posed is are we subjecting ss to sufficient temp to create it. no one has any facts yet to say we are, but one guy did a home test on a ss wick he subjected to high temp (brightly glowing) to oxidize and said he detected Cr6. He is sending to a lab to have it further tested.

High quality stainless usually doesnt contain hexavalent chromium, SS designed for ecigs should not be prone to giving off cr-6. If youre using stuff you shouldnt be as your wick, you could have an issue. Take into account people use SS pipe screens and have been for many many years

I don't oxidize these ss wicks. I just roll it and put to its place. Because it's just slightly touching to the coil, even after long use it still looks like a new. Well, maybe there can be a little soot at its head.
If the head of the wick isn't a sharp and it is a used coil, there is a big resistance between the coil and the wick. And even not, there is still a shortcut protection at the battery.

The pipe screens aren't oxidized. I think when we torch the SS is when it is subjected to the issue. None the less these attys are very inexpensive but I live in the sticks so sometimes I have to make do until vape mail arrives. I will try to test out other wicks in the future and report back.
