Played stare and compare between a mates Nauti and my Terminator C and about all you maybe able to get away with is the ceramic I am afraid.
The thread on the Nauti while not bad are not really comparable to the Terminator in finish and the pitch seems slightly different.

Can't see a problem if you use thin enough gauge cable and ensure the mesh is well oydised but then again I don't use clearo's so don't really know.

Was at a 2 day vape meet this weekend.
In the middle of a vaping chat between two vaping luminaries and somehow Tootsie Rolls came up in the conversation, now somehow after living here 7 years had no idea what the hell this was and said so.
The interesting vape chat dissipated into these lovely gentlemen trying to explain it too me lol

I live here but not sure where to pick some up locally other than making a call to the vendor and having them ship to your hotel.
That or if you are staying in Orlando I could pick some up for you and meet up.
As regards customs never really had a problem but I have only traveled in the States since starting vaping not internationally so can't really comment.

Picked up the Terminator C but had the chance of getting someone rather well used to setting these up do it ... so I was nice enough to let him.
.9 ohm of dual coil goodness so am a bit reluctant to tear it up at the moment but will update this thread when I do and return it to a more pedestrian 1.5 or so with the XC 116.

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.

Matt Smith and Cumberbatch both went for the Sherlock role...yes was cast before the Doctor and Moffat noticed him then.
Have to say that I rather like the Moffat version of the Doctor rather more than the previous reiterated version. Would have loved to have seen Ecclestone with more of them than he did. Same as Tennant whose best episodes oddly were Moffat scripts. But hey that is just my opinion.
Do agree this split season thing is driving me nuts but I guess the good thing is that at least now I get the episodes on the same day as broadcast in the UK now so much has the popularity of Who risen.
Love the idea of Robert Carlysle as the Doctor. Would be phenominal. As would Idris Elba but suspect it will be neither as far well to known.
As for Matt Smith I think he has done a great job really. Be sad to see him go but his time has come and that raises the next point.
Living in the States where people are used to shows keeping a stable cast is watching people try to adjust to changes. I had my step daughter on facebook Messenger banging on to me how much she dislikes Clara compared to Amy for hours, like it is my fault !
Hope it continues along the same path as it is and it will continue to grow.

yep 2 channels on mine. so you dont use res for the coil just the legs so it actually heats the legs of the wick not the bit across the airflow? or have I read that wrong (probably have lol) The idea of the non-res, is just to extend the legs from the coil......If the res wire has a long distance to travel, it affects the ohms.............Then again, I may have just made all that up, but I think it's right........ Perfectly correct. Otherwise with any of the atty's that use a ceramic cup, ceramic seems to be my word of the day, you will near enough immediately be in the 2.5 range using .20.

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.

I have the original and should be getting the extended version this weekend.
Liked the original just at 1ml capacity far too small to take it anywhere other than to the shops. That and while I didn't get dry hits they were inconsistent but have to play some more.
Will be copying the wick idea with XC-116 to see how that goes.

Got some in this week from some place in Texas.
Have had a little play but not extensively. Too busy with work. Not going to drop the idea but similar to ceramic, you know the stone version, wick in that flavours came across as a little muted.
I bought the XC-116 to pop into a silica atty such as a Penelope or the clone but haven't actually got around to picking one of those up as yet. Hope to do so this weekend as there is a big vape meet here in Florida with vendors attending so will see.
Anyways one way or the other will get back on it.

Really not certain that you want a resistive wick.
Strikes me as being a short and a rather large hotspot waiting to happen.
