zippo wicks

[Domtine]

After reading that we can use zippo wick for attys, I went out got myself 1pc, removed the cotton portion of it. I decided to test whether are they the same by burning it with a lighter. Lo and behold the thing melts and crumbles when u touch it when cooled.

My concern is whether these thing are safe for usage. I've burnt the wicks in our attys before but they dun melt and crumble they are restored to their shiny appearance and the fibres does not stick together.

Anyone got any advice?

I'd say it falls under the category of "not advisable"

 

[circuitsucka]

agreed.... try to get the silicon wicks you can find in chinese prayer supply shops that they use for oil lamps...

That's weird mine doesnt. I'll try mine out again later.

I used a butane torch

could it be that the output temp is way too high?

 

[Domtine]

Dunnoe leh... U used a 50cent lighter? But the wick that came with the atty didn't melt

 

[Domtine]

Anyway my atty confirm kapu liao. The coil refuse to fire anymore. Sianzz

ya i used a 50c lighter. the wick that came with the atty is it completely dry? or moist? cause you are burning a dry zippo wick.

as for your coil have you try this method to see whether its not due to gunk and dirt?

In the meantime, did you order a few more atty/cartos for spares? No harm keeping spares...
