Going to order a few wick/wire samples Monday, waiting on the Ekowool for 1 order.
Whats the general consensus of ekowool equivalent for 2mm and 3mm silica ?

I took some out of a dripper to change the coil, flamed it and it came up clean as new!!!

The 5 for 4 offer, do you put 5 in the cart or 4 ? Monday mornings are too confusing

But i do mess around with it a bit to take the flatness out of the ekowool though. *fingers*crossed it will stay working fine.

Ordered ekowool and they've sent me plain silica instead so time to see what their customer services are like.
Also got a few rolls of wire and have finally managed to wrap something less than 2ohms.
Making clouds using ribbon wire in an RSST... After a week of some very average vaping I've got flavour and vapour. Woo Hoo.

I am using 3mm. Ekowool in the Spheroid and both my Kayfun Mini and 3.1. I prefer this to any other silica. I push the wick back into its round shape, as it arrives a bit flattened, then flame the wick to red/white hot before I cut my required amount off a full length, (make sure you let it cool before touching as it holds the heat for longer than normal silica). Flaming it has the effect of making it quite stiff/rigid which allows you to cut it with nail clippers without the ends fraying. Because it is rigid, you can wind your coil without a pin/paperclip and it goes back to its original flexible form as soon as you put juice on it. I use a single strand of 3mm wick in all my above atties.
