Does anyone know when big Tex vapor started to keel treat xc116? I got some not to long ago and I'm wondering if I should buy new and toss the old away.

I'm pretty sure they never sold any XC-116 that wasn't treated in a kiln, but you should probably contact them just for your own peace of mind.
Don't throw it away! I received Nextel samples directly from 3M. I was aware of the neccessity to heat it. I have a butane torch to do so. My suggestion would be to buy a butane torch. Heat the ceramic red-hot and use it. If you're uncomfortable doing that, depending on the size/quantity you have, I could probably take it off your hands. Send me a PM if you're interested.
While the ceramic wick is the cleanest (IMO) flavor and easiest to wrap, it is produced in a factory using chemicals. It is neccessary to remove the traces of manufacturing before using this stuff as wicking. Remember, Nextel ceramic is not intended as a wicking material, but rather, as a heat barrier. Fortunately, for us vapers, it is an excellent wick, also.

just got an e-mail from bigtex 25% off nextel and ekowool today only: code is IWANTWICK
Thanks, I've only had it for about a month the first one I wrapped is still going strong. I do not remember the part about the kiln when I purchased.
To MY knowledge, both bigtex and SnG have always kiln treated. If I were concerned, tho, they are responsive to inquiries.
If you got it from BigTex only a month ago I'm sure it's been treated. I got my first order of xc from BigTex about two months ago, they were kiln treating it then.
