Nextel XC-116

[k3v1n]

GG family,

Unlike you guys in the US we can't get this wonder wick.

So, I was wondering if someone in US could help us out.

Something like a group buy sorta thing, what do you think ?

Anyone willing to help sort this out ?

I'm not speaking for everyone, but I'm sure there is a load of people that would like to give this stuff a try, if not, I know I would like to get some and would be willing to send a paypal gift to cover all costs.

Right, so who's gonna help us out then ?

i'd be interested in joining a group buy. around 10m

 

[VPDownunder]

Me too, as much as I could get my hands on

 

[Serpent67]

I tried that route Serpent67, they wont supply it outside the US.

As much as I would love to help out the family... I don't think it is a wise choice to commit a Felony (Federal) by shipping out an Export Controlled Item

Hmm, confusing, since it's listed like they do carry it.

 

[Oddy]

why is it controlled?

 

[k3v1n]

Zoranth, I would agree if it was firearms, drugs or something like that, but all it is is cermic sleeving.

I guess the point I am trying to make is, if for some reason a US Sourced package is intercepted before it goes overseas. it is the shipper that is gonna be going to jail not the intended recipient.

[Zoranth]

It is controlled because it was originally developed under Military contract and is used extensively in Nuclear Programs, Weapons Programs and Military Avaition.

why is it controlled?

I no longer use xc-116 wick. I have wild cough from this wick.
First became coughing slowly, but then more and more. Replaced on CE2 wick -no cough. Again put the xc-116 - cough. CE2 back - no cough. And so several times. The fluid used the same for the purity of the experiment. So although ceramics and tastier and works better, but I don't want to cough, no more.

......I tested the nextel wicks by first handling them over a smooth dark surface. The particle's off the wick accumulate very quickly, and they are significant and surprising.

After using the wick in the iatty for 24 hours I drained the fluid into a bottle, set it aside and refilled with fresh liquid. The used liquid is full of the nextel particles and they are visible to the eye.

I tryed using a filter in the iatty drip tip to filter the vapor. It filled with liquid very quickly, within a couple draws it gets clogged. So the liquid definitely is getting to the lungs.

I went back to the original wick. My cough, and shortness of breath went away.

I liked the nextel performance, but I wont use it. Since I am using the iatty, I can use whatever suits me.

Furthermore on the clogged wick subject.
Recently I returned to using my UFS with a quality 3.5 ohm atty, it showed signs of clogging within 24 hours. So it isn't necessarily a iatty issue. For me it is the ability to disassemble the iatty that allows me to inspect it, repair it, thus making me more aware.
All "other" atomizers are not capable of this, therefore they are used until they are used up.

Thanks for the post zober, maybe xc-116 isn't as great as I thought.

But Zoranth is right, if it is an offence to send something like this, then I have no right in asking others to break the laws of your country.

Have any of you tried ordering that fuel cell sleeving from that .uk website? I don't understand why it would be on there if they won't let you order it.

Yes, it is export controlled, it falls under the National Security act, which includes technologies. The fine is $1,000,000, and (not or) 10 years in prison. It's a wire shielding product developed first for NASA and used in military applications. The sleeving isn't magic or secret, only the process used to weave it into a hollow braid.

I've noticed it is available (in shorter lengths, in the EU as sleeving to protect thermocouple's in Kilns.)

I was given some xc-116 wick and tried it in my iAtty and Bulli attys. It make my throat hurt. I removed it and replaced it with CE2 wicks and have been fine since. I will stick with the GG wicks from now on.

Rick.45cal, I tried to order it from omega.co.uk, the order went through and was given an order no.

But a day or 2 later I got an email saying they couldn't supply it as I'm outside the US.

And what about the XS-116? has anyone tryied it? maybe it could be an alternate option.

 

[VPDownunder]

Interesting, maybe it's not so great thanks for the info. So what is the new wick Imeo is selling with the Odysseus and where can we buy it in decent quantity?

 

[imeothanasis]

its the original CE2 wick that all China atomizers use but you have to order a big quantity VP. MOQ is 5km
