ricks, what does AO stand for? There is very limited information on the internet. I'm searching on Youtube and there is only 1 video about AO Wick capillary action. And do you know about how much temperature it can take? For example, the ceramic wicks look very intriguing because they can take very high temperatures in comparison to other wicking material. Also, there are no health hazards mentioned while wicking with ceramic wicks. Would you have any such info about the AO wicks?

Thanks for any info you can give!

The ithaka is my best and most reliable rba to date. Lots of options on builds, and it has plenty of build space.

That's one thing that kills a rebuildable for me, things that require Tweezers and a magnifying glass to build. I've got several basic dripping RDAs that I use at home for flavor testing and experimentation.

I usually prefer regular silica. It's the least fuss, most consistent thing I've tried. Ekowool is more trouble than its worth to me, and I don't notice better flavor with it. Cotton burns too easily.

Sent with Tapytaptap or some such...

Terminator-C seems like a very elegant device ...



Found it on GreyHaze.co.uk .. its about 32 pounds .. not bad at all! The image is actually of the extended version of Terminator-C and named as Nautilus RBA. Looks gorgeous!!

I really wonder why vaping stores do not keep Ceramic Ropes? Everything I've read so far is just great about them. Merchants, I hope you are reading, would love to know your thoughts!

Thanks for sharing the links t8kiteasy!

Here is a youtube vid on how i wrap my Term-C and shows the Ceramic Rope The Odysseus and breakdown on how to make a .9ohm Dual Coil Atty - YouTube . I saw this vid one day while searching different builds and have been using since then.

you guys were correct about the cotton wick .. it started giving burnt taste in less than 2 days *facepalm*



Now this may have happened because of 2 reasons ...

1. Cotton wicks just suck!
2. May be there was too much cotton that didn't allow enough eLiquid to flow through to the coil.

Ok .. back to ss mesh wick but this time I'll make sure to leave enough room for the liquid to flow through :D
That's just the nature of the beast with cotton. If I go more than 2 days then I usually end up with a wick that's completely burned through. But the flavor is fantastic and it delivers juice much faster than any medium I've tried. With micro coils I can't get ss mesh or silica to wick fast enough. (and I used ss for a long time before switching over to micros.)

My favorite set up has to be my Terminator -C with a dual coil ceramic build,is it the best wick,vaping is like juices,subjective to what each person likes.Between bamboo and cotton,I have a thirty foot roll of cotton here that I have never used so I can not compare the two for you.Bamboo,like the ceramic rope,is going to be subjective again.Fasttech does not sell ceramic rope only two places do,mcmaster-carr,and one other I forget but I have it tagged on my laptop,I am on my cell right now.EDIT:The other site for the ceramic rope is minsealorder.com.

Hi t8kiteasy how many ml will the Terminator-C hold and what is the diameter of the atty?
I actually found the answers.
