Realize the OP is trolling, but this 'sparked' ;) an old memory from before the internet. Edison tried carbonized bamboo filaments before eventually settling on tungsten. Quick trip to Google and I see it was far more complex than I remembered. History of the Incandescent Light Scroll down to where Joseph Swan and Thomas Edison were independently using various carbonized filaments. Paper, cardboard, sewing thread then the bamboo I remember. Then tantalum before tungsten... Fascinating read!

Now the trick will be to get the carbonized wood inside a coil shaped container with a hard vacuum. They were aiming for efficiency, ie more light than heat. Since vaping needs the opposite it might make this a simpler task. Five years and a few million bucks should do it.

Me, I will stick with kanthal.

So many slogans: "Fire in the hole!" (No idea what that saying means BTW.)

End dry hits forever after your first dry hit.

Is it vaping? Swallowing fire? NO, it's BOTH!!!!!!!

Vaping has gotten safer and we can't have that.

I hope the manufacturers are reading your threads you know for fun!

If only we could have had this guy interacting with Ephraim, now that would be entertainment.

I am going to say, until this guy starts dropping the F bomb and calling other members by the name of certain parts of the male anatomy repeatedly, my vote still goes to Ephraim for Troll of the Year.

Ya know how when a Thread gets too Political, a Mod will come along and say if people Don't Cool It, that He/She will move the Thread to the OUTSIDE? Maybe the ECF should have a section Dedicated to Trolling Threads?

Then People can Go Ballistic and Troll away until to their Fingers Bleed.

And I have the Perfect Name for this Trolling Section. I'd call it the "Under the Bridge" section.

Fire in the hole is old miners yell meaning an explosive charge has been lit according to Wik.

Funny you should suggest this...

I'm currently running dual staggered stapled fused claptons with walnut cores and a river birch outer wrap. It WOOD be decent but it LEAVES alot to be desired. I've yet to get to the ROOT of the problem. It's driving me NUTS and the noise makes my dog BARK.

back when vaping was evolving to what it is today,
just like when someone suggested using cotton for wicking material,
no way they said , it will burn up and you will get cotton mouth , lol
or
it will start on fire , too easy to burn they said .
a good wick has to be fire proof they said.

funny how , if i keep my cotton wick wet with juice it dont give me Cotton mouth.

have an open mind.

Older than that. The hole is a touch hole for a cannon. It’s a military term

I thought it was fire in the hold. An old nautical term for bad news on a wooden ship. Just like it would be bad news on a wooden coil.
