Those look pretty interesting. Have you tried them?
Ahhhh they're out of stock!!

I'm interested but won't do it till after the sub kit comes out... they can run super low from what i read
From what I've read; they are the dawn of a good idea, but this early implementation is utter crap.
They take FOREVER to heat up, and stay extremely hot for a long period of time after reaching the temperature to vaporize e-liquid.
I can't imagine anything more un-squonk friendly to stick inside your RM2.
It's a start though... betcha we see more along this line of product in the upcoming year done better.

6 months, that's my prediction, today's market finds innovative, duplicates, then improves at an insane rate...
Saw the thread title and all I could think of is: Your doing it wrong if you need to sit on a doughnut!
No no no... You have the Krispy Kremes with coffee and a squonk!

A very innovative idea, indeed! However, I see a huge flaw in the "cool-down" rate as Funk Dracula pointed out. Very, very good start for a prototype. Definitely needs work, though...and a little higher ohms, to appeal to a more diverse crowd.
Aw, nuts - I was intrigued until I saw Funk's response.
We need a sticky for a pool on when this type of alternate heating platform is commonplace, 'cause it's going to happen. When it does, we'll be the first-gen vapers who hang out in B&M's grumbling about "in my day, we had to twist bare wire to make a coil; none of this <insert future premade heating widget> crap."

Nah, just a good spin through the dishwasher, and that Reo will be back in operation, no problem, right? That thing can handle anything (well, the REO, anyway)!
Cptfunpants, make sure to tell us which REO required your use of the doughnut. So we can all avoid it if it should show up in the classies...
Lol, I'm relatively late to the vaping "game." The curmudgeon in me would love nothing more to than to someday regale (or bore
) young whippersnappers with our tales of the "Dark Ages" of vaping.
Yeah like when I had to use a tank that either flooded or leaked juice all over the place.
I'll admit that when I first saw those I got all excited and had all these great atomizer mods to incorporate one of those to be a BF. The more I did my research the more I found that those are a really bad idea. Not only do they heat slow and cool slow but the biggest concern is that ceramic heating coils are NOT meant to be inhaled. Ceramic can crack which will lead to the inhalation of alumina silicate hydrate, what that means is ceramic contains silica (glass.) When silica is inhaled into the lungs over a LONG period of time (I'm talking a lifetime), one can develop a disease called silicosis. Simply put it is a cancer of the lungs. The silica slowly crystallizes your lungs from the inside out and turns them to rocks. At the very least some people have reported irritation from inhaling vapor from cracked ceramic heating elements (although it was a different type of vaporizer... for tobacco and such)
A heating element made from glass wrapped tungsten would be much better for you than ceramic, although it would still perform like the ceramic making it not such a suitable option for us.

RIP Trippers did a review, they heat way too slowly and then stay hot for too long.
The result is poorly performing doughnut that cooks your juice for too long and burns your cotton/juice.
We'll see what happens next, id rather use this then wrapping coils.

This is the type of situation where I will probably forget about it, wait 6 months and then begin reading threads here in the REO forum about what it has evolved into. Seems interesting though.
I set two up as a dual coil on a Reomizer 2.
I was able to get the wires to fit through the hole from both sides, a first for a dual on a Reo 2.
My Ohms is .31. I find the flavor is a little muted, I'm using cotton.

I have had a single one on a RM2 for a while - 0.4 ohms. They do work, but I needed to use a huge amount of cotton and the taste wasn't really worth it. They are nothing special - Any thick Kanthal does the same, and in a more controllable manner.
The doughnuts heat on two spots at the same time and you have only one airhole to line up.
I imagine they will get better and there may be special atomizers with specific setups for them - but as they are now (or have been a couple months ago) they are just a proof of concept.

I found the secret to setting up the Vaping Donut in the Reomizer 2 and I'm now a happy camper.
Tweak 1. - Don't use alot of cotton. I ran the cotton through the centers of the donuts and then pushed it down the center so the cotton touches the ceramic bottom and wicks the liquid upwards. What is happening is that the donut has tremendous surface area so if you surround it with cotton it works like a heat sync and the donut won't heat up quickly.
Tweak 2 - Drilled very large air holes on each side. of the Reomizer.
Tweak 3 - Switched liquids to a tastier liquid
See Pics Below
Dual Donuts mean Dual Holes 1 on each side and they have to be big
for some reason it needs Aeration.
Loose cotton stuffed inside the donut hole
Basically I threaded the cotton through both donut holes and made a U down the center so it would wick the juice up from the bottom. Minimum cotton used.
When I fire the APV with the top off the cotton in the center of the donut immediately sizzles, then the juice sizzles out and runs down the ceramic donut. It now heats up very quickly. Also I haven't been experiencing dry hits, it seems that the heating of the edge of the cotton is causing a wicking action from the bottom of the cotton and replacing the vaporized liquid before it can dry and burn.
My theory is that most are surrounding the donuts with cotton and the wet cotton is working like a heat sink and absorbing the heat from the donut.

Tried them - not ready for our application in prime time yet due to time to heat & cool.
Thermovape uses ceramic heating elements in their mods. Flavor is incredible, but it takes what seems like a year per puff. Most of their 'mods' are used by the 'leaf' crowd though, so they probably aren't puffing every five seconds.
