Hey guys, i am here to try pick some brains.
I am en electronic engineer who is currently playing with some projects at home.
I am creating a monstrous e-cigarette prototype.
I am not using the conventional nichrome wire and wick method, but rather just dropping it onto a hot plate for instant clouds.
Anyway the burning question is about insulators, i will have a handheld unit that will get pretty hot around the heater.
I was hoping to put a heat buffer between my heaters enclosure and the outer enclosure.
Some thermally insulating material that is also inert and safe for someone to be inhaling hot air over.
I had thought about thermoplastic and pocket of air as an insulator.
Mica doesn't seem flexible enough.
What do you guys think?
Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Genuinely!
