I believe some testing is already underway:

Have been pondering this over the weekend - ceramic does indeed sound like a much better advance on SS than SS + glass tube. I believe that some investigation into this is already underway somewhere on the ECF forums, it just hasn't attracted quite as much attention as the glass tube trick. Think I'm going to hang tight for the time being and follow what's going on over there closely - people who went and ordered loads of quartz tubing as soon as they saw the original post will start receiving them this week and posting their results. In the meantime may do a little trawl of the web to see what can be found in terms of porous ceramic rods. Unless of course Macca has already found all of them, verified the specs, made a computer model to find the optimum wicking porosity, negotiated a deal with a supplier and is awaiting samples.

Right, have had a couple of very brief chats with Multi Labs and with H Baumbach. Numbers aren't quotes - only rough estimates for the time being.
Multi Labs have a MOV of £25 which would get a fairly large quantity of little 3mm OD, 2mm ID, 9mm long tubes (seems about right for my AGA-T) - probably 80 25 or so.
H Baumbach also gave me a rough estimate of 7-10 pieces of 4mm OD, 2mm ID, 9mm long for their MOV of £35.
Edit - Multi Labs gave me a proper quote for 50 pieces, have adjusted numbers above accordingly.

Agreed - just adding a glass sleeve around our meshes is most unlikely to be a long term solution. That said there are indeed lots of ideas floating around and it would appear that there are quite a few people experimenting so I'm quite excited to see what happens!
Also - I, for one, am still struggling to coil my wicks efficiently so quite fancy giving it a go just to see how it works first hand and find out if the pros outweigh the cons or vice versa.
Edit - typos again...

Oops - cross post
Oops again - Scubabatdan
Other thought - using the quad-bore tubes (if mesh fits) would significantly increase the surface area between mesh and tube. Wondering how that would affect wicking as well as vapour production.

Hehe, was planning to give them a ring sometime this afternoon!
I did see the "quadruple bore tubes" further down the page but I would imagine that these would be subject to the same issues as Scubatdan had when using 2 x 1mm tubes without any mesh or wicking material (just relying on capillary action). From what I gather it wasn't a success as the vapour produced would push out the (very!) hot liquid at the top of the bore holes, fill up again, vapourise and repeat. Do you think we could get some mesh up the holes? They look pretty small.
Like the idea of running the wire through the tube but fear we may lose out on surface area in contact with the wire.
Having the wire embedded in the wall of the tube seems ideal but not feasible (as far as I'm aware) due to the working temperature of the glass versus melting point of the wire.
Sandwich the coil between two tubes maybe? A bit bulky and still not completely isolated though...

Wonder if this could lead to a new atomiser design - the concept sounds fairly sound.
Going to see if I can make my way through the whole thread on ECF in my lunch break!

Once again I'm in awe of your dedication Macca!
Assuming all goes well I'm definitely interested in a couple of glass tanks!

Well done Nick I'm still at the trembling stage Not scared but that doesn't mean good - even my current coil which I thought was stable has just started developing a hotspot... ??? Let us know how you get on Jeff!
