Nextel XC-116 can be purchased from Omega.com but please note that it must be torch or Kiln treated before use to burn off the sizing... Kiln treated is the best but a torch or stove burner will work....
Definitely try and get it kiln treated. Just torching it will make it safe to use, but the flavor won't be nearly as good as with kilned nextel. I'm sure you could go to color me mine and see if they'd kiln it for you!
What is kiln treated? I figured torch is just heat the nextel in a torch flame. But kiln....like a pottery kiln?
confused
tinkering with ody today. yesterday i got my ceramics
i built a coil with the wick material i have. problem is that the wick is really thin. kept flooding it so i read that if the coil is to thin it would flood. folded the wick till it was a thick as nextel. i went ahead and tried mrkrinkles method no wick going down the channels. he is right, if tightly and neatly done the wire is safe from shorts. i did a three ohm coil running it at 5volts. the vapour is really hot and it has a lot of flavor. haven't opened the juice control yet let's see when i need to open it. good job figuring this way out krinkle.

Good News Im glad your having good luck with it.... I typically open my juice control one half turn and never need mess with it again till its time to refill.... lately I have been using the 0.9ohm dual coil @ 3.7v and its pretty friggen awesome...

exactly like a pottery kiln... its just the best way to burn off all the sizing...
a friend of mine does the kiln burn for me when I get a chance to talk to him I'll see what temp he does it at and for how long... If I remember correctly he burns it for an hour but I cannot remember what temp...
I'm now calling this method of making wicks and coils "The Krinkle"
Right now in my Odysseus mid mode tank, I'm running a half Krinkle with 1 layer of Iatty wick and 2 layers of Ody wick with a strand in the ground channel to wrap my negative lead around.
In my drip mode I'm running a half Krinkle with 2 layers of Ody wick wrapped in 400 stainless mesh.
Both are using 7 wraps of 30 ga for just over 2 ohms.
Need to adjust the coil spacing on this one...

I have no clue as to where I would find a kiln to do the burn in....but I do have a torch
so I'll give it a go with the torch....... your method interests me............ however I have had no leaks in the two modes I have used the ODY.... and like you I lubricate the ODY every wick change...only difference is I use bees wax not vaseline.

WOW..that photo is 400 SS mesh??

well aside from buying say a small knife makers kiln which is what my buddy uses and can be bought for around $300.00 on ebay when you can find them... but Richard mentioned a store here in California that does pottery burns for people (color me something) something like that... but perhaps a local high school or college may also be willing to burn it for you if you say pretty pretty please.... and I like the idea of Bees Wax its very organic and I like that...
Please Keep in mind when using my method that the wick needs to act almost like a Dam as not to allow juice to seep through the channels but only to saturate the wick itself... I cant think of any better example than a Tampon but it illustrates the principle perfectly... in other words if you dont stop the flow correctly your going to need panty liners...
