    Silicate particles may originate from the fiberglass wicks. [121] Silicate nanoparticles have been found in vapors generated from the fiberglass wicks. [16] Tin may originate from the e-cigarette solder joints. [53] Nickel potentially found in the e-cigarette vapor may originate from the atomizer and heating coils. [107]

  3. Kerosene lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerosene_lamp

    The wick rides in between the inner and outer wick tubes; the inner wick tube (central draft tube) provides the "central draft" or draft that supplies air to the flame spreader. When the lamp is lit, the central draft tube supplies air to the flame spreader that spreads out the flame into a ring of fire and allows the lamp to burn cleanly.

  7. Betty lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_lamp

    The Crusie lamp consists of two lamp pans, one above the other. Fuel drip from the upper lamp pan fell into the lower pan minimizing oil/grease mess below the lamp. In the evolution to the Betty lamp, replacing the upper lamp pan with a metal wick holder inside the lower pan reduces the amount of metal needed for the lamp.
