I just wanted to do a short review of the new ZAP (V2.1) w/Ceramic WIC from ProVape. The only differences in the new V2.1 is the engraved (rather than laser etched) ZEN log on the cap, the Laser Etched ZEN log on the center post (inside the tank), and the ceramic wick that replaced the SS mesh wick. They have removed the plastic insulator tubing to accommodate the larger diameter ceramic wick. First thing to note, the one extra ceramic wick included with the ZAP was broken upon arrival. Surprising, since it was packed inside a small plastic tube with red rubberized end caps, and everything was well packed. So, even with good packaging, the wicks are susceptible to breakage during shipping. Now to the ceramic wick performance, compared to my stock 400 Stainless Mesh in my previous version ZAP, using the same e-liquid, it seems to wick as well as the stock 400 SS mesh. It does produce a very good flavor when wick is allowed time to saturate upon tilting. Even with no break in, it still vapes great. The SS Mesh, once broken in, gives just as good flavor IMHO. These wicks are QUITE fragile and can be broken just wrapping a coil, knocking the cap off, and just plain shipping, seems to be the only real drawback with them. As PBusardo might say, I give the ceramic wicks a hesitant thumbs up...only due to how fragile they are.
