Geez, next will be the little glass tubes from the antifreeze testers. They'll need to be bought though since they keep them behind the counter at the local auto supply stores due to theft.
Be careful what you wish for. People are using glass pipettes as wicks now.

Glass pipettes as wicks?? How??
Oh that's easy.... One guy holds the mod and the second guy shoves his face inside the 1' diameter air hole
Exactly how it looks, I'm afraid. Just snapping a 1mL glass pipette into small pieces and putting it in between a coil. It'll heat up to the point of vaporizing the juice, like cotton or silica. Still though, I'd be concerned about the glass breaking or somehow getting sucked into your mouth, however unlikely that is. Not to mention it looks incredibly nefarious.
Correction: apparently it's pyrex which has a melting temperature of 2800 degrees Fahrenheit. Still though...

Personally I am quite satisfied at
.5-.7 but these kids want to melt their faces off. I tried it but it's way to damn hot for me. My friend States that he has to have a hot vape or its not satisfying, he is the one that wants .13ohm 22awg dual coils. My suggestion is go up in nic. He's vaping 6mg. Well no wonder you have to go so low. I drip 18 all day. Squonk, vape, vape. squonk, vape, vape, and I am good.

If you lung hit and provide big enough air holes it's not that hot. I have .5 dual coil on my Cyclone + AFC with the air holes wide open it's a cooler vape than my usual .9 to 1.1 ohm coil in the RM2.
Most of the time people try much lower ohm coils than they are used to they do not increase airflow to keep it cool. Doesn't matter if we are talking about going from 1.4 to .8ohm or going from .8 to .4, you have consider air flow in the equation as it will drastically change the vape.

Yes sir, but .13 is a whole different ball game. I run my .5 duals with 1/16th air holes or slightly larger. This dudes airholes are 3/32, and you have to inhale hard to keep the temp down but then get a mouthful of juice... No thanks dude, I am happy not melting my buttons.

It's not that... super thin glass tubing would provide capillary action for the juice to get to the TOP... but you're have no juice on the coils and no surface area for the juice except at the small area at the top... which would mean little to no vapor, so what's the point of doing it??
2800 degrees F is wrong. Borosilicate starts slumping at 1700 degrees F and soda lime glass starts slumping at 1300 degrees F. But still should be lower than juice evaporation temp, which couldn't be a whole lot higher than steam, which is 212 degrees F. It's how hot the coils can get. The glass would be OK temp wise, it's the no juice surface area to produce vapor that makes no sense...
if you find o-rings that work at 1300f do let me and NASA know!
i'm looking into carbon fibre nanotubes as my next wick - that ought to do the trick. PG vapourises at 77f.
If i have pg and vg and the g's cancel out, then p runs off at 77f, this summer will leave me as a vegetable. This will be all over the media tomorrow as "e-cigs cause mental illness"

The guy who originally posted that picture made a video. He says it's similar to a wickless coil.

Got all excited about the carbon fibre nanotubes til I read this:
"Toxicity[edit]
See also: Fullerene#Safety and toxicity
The toxicity of carbon nanotubes has been an important question in nanotechnology. As of 2007, such research has just begun. The data are still fragmentary and subject to criticism. Preliminary results highlight the difficulties in evaluating the toxicity of this heterogeneous material. Parameters such as structure, size distribution, surface area, surface chemistry, surface charge, and agglomeration state as well as purity of the samples, have considerable impact on the reactivity of carbon nanotubes. However, available data clearly show that, under some conditions, nanotubes can cross membrane barriers, which suggests that, if raw materials reach the organs, they can induce harmful effects such as inflammatory and fibrotic reactions.[69]
Under certain conditions CNTs can enter human cells and accumulate in the cytoplasm, causing cell death.[70]
Results of rodent studies collectively show that regardless of the process by which CNTs were synthesized and the types and amounts of metals they contained, CNTs were capable of producing inflammation, epithelioid granulomas (microscopic nodules), fibrosis, and biochemical/toxicological changes in the lungs.[71] Comparative toxicity studies in which mice were given equal weights of test materials showed that SWCNTs were more toxic than quartz, which is considered a serious occupational health hazard when chronically inhaled. As a control, ultrafine carbon black was shown to produce minimal lung responses.[72]
Carbon nano tubes deposit in the alveolar ducts by aligning length wise with the airways; the nano tubes will often combine with metals.[73] The needle-like fiber shape of CNTs is similar to asbestos fibers. This raises the idea that widespread use of carbon nanotubes may lead to pleural mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining of the lungs or peritoneal mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining of the abdomen (both caused by exposure to asbestos). A recently published pilot study supports this prediction.[74] Scientists exposed the mesothelial lining of the body cavity of mice to long multiwalled carbon nanotubes and observed asbestos-like, length-dependent, pathogenic behavior that included inflammation and formation of lesions known as granulomas. Authors of the study conclude:
This is of considerable importance, because research and business communities continue to invest heavily in carbon nanotubes for a wide range of products under the assumption that they are no more hazardous than graphite. Our results suggest the need for further research and great caution before introducing such products into the market if long-term harm is to be avoided.[74]
Although further research is required, the available data suggests that under certain conditions, especially those involving chronic exposure, carbon nanotubes can pose a serious risk to human health.[69][70][72][74]"
Think... Asbestos? Er...
Just thought of a related but not as potentially dangerous heatable... Graphite. Graphite can withstand some HEAT (tho at 77 degrees vaporization, even baking silicone can beat that...)
I just found out that there are O-rings that can withstand hotter than 1300 degrees (atmospheric reentry is 3000 degrees F, and they used lots of orings in the Shuttle, plus, after the Oring fail in Challenger, they went nuts looking at Oring materials).
But... why do we need Orings that can withstand 1300 degrees in particular?
