XC 116 Size?

[Technonut]

LOL!! I'm sitting here watching vids from a certain reviewer who does all kinds of sub-Ω coils...All while I'm blowing the same massive vapor with the AGA-T2 & XC-116 @ 2.0 Ω / 7 watts, I'm yelling FORGETTABOUTITTTT right back at him!

What keystrokes make the ohm sign?

Hold down the Alt key, then type 234 on the numeric keypad.

Does the xc-116 fit in the stock aga-t2 hole? I been wanting to try different wicks other than mesh.

What size would be best for the igo L and protank/evod heads?

Big tex is sold out but I found a site that sells it. Omega.

Nextel Braided Ceramic Very High Temperature Sleeving

Seems alot cheaper than big tex.

Just found your size ques.

116 is 3mm diam (1/8" shy) ← AGA/fat low res

132 is 1.5mm (1/16") ← dripper/micro

that may be confusing, big tex has the 1/32 and 1/16 and calls them both xc-116 (unlike omega)! I ordered the 1/16 which says 1.5mm.
hope I got it right. Do you know if the actual 1/8th treated is sold anywhere?

The stuff Big Tex sells is heat-treated in a kiln...

The best wick out there. Cleanable, reusable, no taste. Heated in my kiln according to 3Ms specs as seen below.
XC-116 Ceramic Wick that has been treated as outlined here:

As long as you tie or wrap the wick ends as shown above, the wick will pull through the holes in the AGA-T2 . I'm seriously considering drilling them out just enough to slide the wick through the top without taking it apart.

 

[barefootntx]

it fits without taking it apart,but you wont be able to to get anything (thread in my case) off the end of it, not sure if that is going to affect it or not.

 

[martydmb]

Great! Ill order some then. I wouldn't mine making the wick hole bigger also. But don't have a drill press.

 

[barefootntx]

just tried it, going in from top, leaving thread on doesn't seem to affect it.

That's great news and thanks for posting it. I'm on the mailing list when they come back in stock.

How about pulling it back out when its time to torch / clean it? Also, if leaving the thread in the tank, I would suggest using a natural, no-dye cotton thread.

Any one done a comparo of the 1/16 and 1/32? The 1/32 is pretty easy to put through the wick hole of the AGA-T2.

 

[pdib]

That is confusing. (you're right, D). Both SnG and Bigtexas sell the same things.

XC-116, by name is: 3mm or ~1/8" OD and 1/16 ID (thus it's name)

XC-132 (called ← that @ SnG; called 1/32 - 116 @ bigtex) is 1.5mm or 1/16" OD and 1/32 ID

The interior diameter names are based on the intended use of the stuff (say, wire insulation), and are not accurate. the skinny stuff (here comes the confusion), the stuff that is named for housing 1/32" material . . . . . . will accommodate 1/16" !

EDIT: SORRY, THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO DSmooch, A PAGE OR 2 BACK IN THE THREAD
