Ceramic Wick...you know stone version

[Andy Thatcher]

I picked up another ZAP a couple of weeks ago.

This one is the 2.1 version. Not really sure what it is about ZAP's but I have owned 4 of them and keep selling them but then look at my Vari and think how great it looks with a ZAP on and around I go again. Anyway keeping this one as I am getting bored of going around and around with them.

The latest version comes with a ceramic wick installed that I found interesting. Being a fiddler of course the first thing I did was uninstall it and recoiled. Well that was easy. Not a sign of a hot spot as you would expect.

It started off a bit slow but soon came into life with a 50/50 blend and was fine while at that level for the first week. As said starts a bit muted then does not do a bad job. Cannot say that the flavour is quite as vibrant as mesh but the lack of the possibility of getting hotspots sort of mitigates that to an extent.

Most of the liquids I vape are 80 - 85% VG DIY's and when changing to them found flavour more muted.

So far I have managed not to break it, rather surprising as usually I only have to look at something for it to disintegrate...seriously any geny or hybrid is either ordered with a spare tank or I buy a spare immediately as I have broken 4 so far just after taking them out of the packing ! I digress....

Would I have got one if it wasn't installed already ? Nope but been interesting to play with and will certainly revisit it again.

Got back from Vapestock last night where I managed to pick up some of the FC2000 Z version ceramic wicks.

With the simple addition of 4 grooves cut into the wicks they turned from yeah OK to...well rather good really.

The idea is that the grooves give more surface area and therefore giving you a more saturated vape and it works. Have had one in my Z Atty Pro since Saturday night and been enjoying it rather a lot.

Sorry about this name dropping but was in a fortunate position to be able to talk to a couple of people who have had a bit of an influence of this product and a few others. The more discerning will have noticed and addition of Z to the end of the product name. The Z stands for Zen who has been helping the manufacturer of the ceramic wicks. Anyway I had the chance to sit down ... a few times really... with Mike and spent a rather a lot of time with scubabatdan who has been working with people for ages on ceramic wicks.

Sitting between them was a bit of a head turner as it is fair to say they are both chatters and think rather deeply about vaping to levels that I hadn't even been aware of.

Anyway at present they will fit into Z Atty's with the isolator removed, AC9, RSST's and any other atty that you are willing to drill out. There is still work going on to manufacture the wicks to accommodate smaller wick holes.
