Yeah, when I started vaping I tried like hell to get my hands on one of the atomizers, I even talked with the guys who made them,as they are near where I live, but they weren't selling them outside of the kit. and were going to stop making them as they had another project online. I don't know if you can buy these anymore.
The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

What kind of cleaner should be used inside a UC to remove those metals that may be harmful when heated? I got some of the 60 grit tile setter stone from Amazon and was thinking vinegar could work also or as a solution for the ultra sonic bath.
A soak in lemon juice will take care of it. I let mine soak overnight, probably overkill. I have also put lemon juice in a jar and put the jar in the UC water bath for a while. The overnight soak was easier.
I make a bunch of wicks and store them in a jar full of lemon juice until ready to use. Some of them have been in there for almost a year...
I've been playing around with these solid quartz rods.....don't know what to think of them yet.....produces lots of vapor but the flavor is real weak...I decided to cut two channels down the length of them like we do with porous ceramic that really helped, but still am unsatisfied with the flavor.gonna kepp playing around with them the great thing about them is they clean up real well with a light torching, and as I say they produce alot of vapor.
Wonder what happened to him?
it's a full year now since we last heard from boden
Yeah that is true. I think it is clear now that we know the material he had in mind for his wicks, right?

Me too... Boden and his thread on stainless mesh/chromium issue was the major reason why I ended my "reader only" status on ECF and decided to participate in the discussion.
just buy yourself a block and chop chop...its that simple, you get about 15 wicks for 6 bucks and some elbow greese!..no one has figured out a way to mass produced them, they take alot of work to make...
Is anyone still making/using ceramic wicks?

Thanks mikepetro, I've managed to make a few of them and am currently testing one in my short Did. The first one I made cracked shortly after using it. This is my second go at it and have noticed the flavor tends to drop shortly after filling a full tank. I can get about 10 good draws and then it goes mute. When I top it off the flavor comes back up. Am I suppose to tilt in order to get better wicking? The diameter of the ceramic wicks I've made are slightly smaller than the hole for the wick.

I'm vaping mainly the KFL/Russian style atty's now and never got into making ceramic setups for them. And for the Genny's that I do have setup - I've moved to ReadyXwick (really hard to snap these 
).
).
The DID is well suited to the ReadyXwick. The wick hole is big enough to easily slide the wick into the tank. I wrap the coil, thread the wick through the coil, then put the 'assembly' into the DID and hook it up. I run 2 DID's w/ ReadyX.

What in the world are ReadyXwicks?

Sounds like a brand name for a rope type prepackaged wick.

It's a prepackaged craft a mic wick. I am going to buy some since my success with mesh is zero. I don't mind henna tilting with cotton...the glamor is great if this stuff wicks and tastes good than why not give it a shot...
