Original place. Used a forwarding mailbox. I'd lend you a few inches if you lived closer.Do you have any? Where did you get it? I'd like to try some myself!
Good info. Thanks.Presume you have the 2.7 mm RxW. If so, you have to have a coil ID of around 2.5. Torch the wick white hot. Cut the point to a 45 degree. Wet a bit (after it cooled down a bit). Twist/push lightly in the same direction the coil is wound.
I was told it needs to be that tight, but have recently used a prebuild Clapton coil from www.vaperite.co.za with an ID of around 2.8 with good effect. The RxW goes through that much easier and seems to work perfectly. So, if you have a mandrel with a 2.6/2.7/2.8 OD, that should work too - maybe easier.
The wick does need a bit of a settling in period. You can dry burn the coil with the wick in place. Light the wick with a flame and let the juice burn off. Dry burn the coil. To get the wick white again (if you want) just use a flame. Wick should outlast the coil.
Picture of RxW (2.7mm) in the Clapton prebuild.
I mainly torch the wick to make it stiffer and less prone to unravelling for the push/screw effort. Just flame it as white hot as your lighter can do methinks. If your ID is big enough you probably need not do it - I did not on the Clapton coil. In between juices torching is not required at all. You could just ignite the residual juice with your lighter and let it burn out. Then dry burn with the wick in place, which will torch the wick in any case. Then, if you wish to restore the wick to white, you can play the lighter flame on it.
Lol, not a prerequisite of course. You can dry burn (with the wick in situ) only, as usual - but the dry burn will ignite the juice in the wick in any case.
Nope, theres a US policy against exporting ceramic wick, anywhere.(thats where we are)

I am going to be optimistic here
Is there anybody that has ReadyXwick or who brings it in for personal consumption that is willing to sell some to me please?
I am just thinking, BF mod and only having to fill juice and charge batteries will be negligible maintenance
I have been using the ceramic wicking (2.7/3 mm nowadays) in my BF drippers exclusively since April 2014. As you say @Lushen, minimal maintenance. More information here. Best is if you have a good mate in the USA who is prepared to buy you some and post it to South Africa. Unfortunately my stock is too low to sell some.Swak

As with all things vaping, taste is subjective. I know @Rob Fisher did not like it, but I know of at least two other members who love it.
At rba supplies they sell it for $8 per foot. Over here exactly the same stuff is sold for $12.99 per foot. But they do ship to us taking you directly to www.internationalcheckout.com as you check out - @zadiac. Extremely expensive route though.
This is what it looks like. Totally different to the hard, porous ceramic sticks, which is widely available and primarily used in Genesis type tanks.
That is with Highdesertvapes? Then they have changed their system since I last checked many moons ago.
Lol, yeah I totally agree. I used them (International Checkout) for this when they just opened shop and then it was extremely reasonable. When I checked again I found the same as you - certainly not worth it.
