Help Could someone help me explains what Ceramic coil, cottonless means?

Hey guys ready for Songkran yet? > <

Anyway I was just looking at random thread on Thailandvapers when I came across this term used in UD Simba giveaway thread. The "cottonless ceramic coil" "Ceramic cotton coil" "wickable cotton something something".

So after I saw these terms I start googling about it and look for more information about these terms plus watch some review about Simba and other product with similar features "ceramic cottonless" thingy. However I still have no idea what it means and I don't see the difference between pre-made coil or the ceramic coil since both of them are already pre-made?

So my questions would be something like:

What exactly is Cottonless ceramic coil? does it means we don't have to use cotton and just drip the juice inside and vape? or we actually have to do something inorder to make it works?

Ceramic cotton coil means the same as Cottonless Ceramic coil?

What on earth is ceramic for apart from blocking one of the hole to switch between dual coil or single coil mode!! (laughing out loud)

In addition I also look at some new Joyetech ceramic coil where you just have to heat it up to clean it or something like that. I thought it was not related to the answer i seeks so I didn't look much into it. but if it does then ill look into it again > <

well I guess that is about it! If i someone manage to win this giveaway thing for UD Simba by heavengifts then I really need to study more about it T_T. (I wish I can)

anyway peace and once again just like always sorry for my bad bad english.

Ps. for expats who never lived in Bangkok during Songkran make sure not to bring your ecig from 13th-15th of April. or else you are going to have a bad time and you can't blame them for doing so. A simple plastic bag from 7-11 should do the trick tho!

 

The ceramics instead of the cotton is quite a new thingy, not yet determined how much better it is. But in fact what it gives is you're safe of dry hits and, probably, burned cotton.
I personally will wait until Vaporetto Target75 will accumulate enough responses to make any conclusions about its advantage. Sure on the video it looks amazing and innovative, but reality has its own opinion too often

 

Ceramic Wick has been around for a while, in fact good ol' Nautilus coils used to have ceramic wick before changing to organic cotton sometime earlier last year. Same functionality as cotton.

Ceramic Coil is quite a new technology and as the name implies, the heating coil is made out of ceramic block with notches in them instead of the usual wrapped Kanthal or Nichrome coils. You will still need cotton (or Rayon) to soak up the juice with these type of coils though so I'm not sure what the "cotton-less" thing is. Someone else can probably elaborate on this.

You can probably re-wick all the tank that comes with ceramic coil (Gua, Gigue Dolphin, Horizontech Krixus etc. etc.) and the coil themselves last about 6 months (or so they said).

 

Ahhh~ i see i see!!

Thank you very much you just saved my day and from another sleepless night seraching for these terms... lol

So do these things have like different resistant as well? By twisting the ceramic abit? Or it comes in a fixed thing.

Once again thank you krab!!

It comes fixed but I forgot the exact number, somewhere between 2 ~ 4 Ω if memory served.

The legs of most Ceramic Coils are made with Tungsten and theoretically it can be use in Temp Control if your mod can do TCR (0.0045).

 

At first I also thought that ceramics is used instead of the heating coil. But in practice it isn't.
How Vaporesso Ceramic coil is made? You could look for a video, but briefly:
- we take a metal spiral and place it in the mould. The remaining space is filled with ceramic powder. Then the mould is heated up to 1000c or something, and powder fuses into porous material, which serves as the wick and is quite resistant to temperature.
-when I checked the other companies production I've found that probably they use less advanced ceramics, which only serves as a protection of metal spiral/heat dispenser and being non-porous requires the same old cotton to use around it as a wick.
-pretty sure there's a lot of different ways to do it. Not yet heard about real ceramic conductor used in e-cig industry, it's always a metal wire surrounded by ceramics, but who knows...

 

Dunno if its the same thing but I'm using the COV Phoenix ceramic tank with ceramic heating element. They say you never have to replace the coil. It comes with cleaning tool. I'm still new with it but so far so good.
