What wick materials do you use?

[unclegromit]

Other. I'm in the same camp as Phoenixflame (Julie)
306.
It's what I started on over 5 years ago.
Never found anything so clean or pure for flavour since.

AFAIK, the 306 will use a silica wick, already installed.




[ETA] Seems like I may be wrong, see below:

SS mesh bridge IIRC

I thought they used silica through the coil. And came either with a protective bridge or bridgeless.... but stand to be corrected, as I've never dismantled one.

You are probably right, I have only ever had one, no doubt Paul will let us know, I know he keeps a close eye on these.

Found these images for the internal 306 gubbins Postmodern Smoking , VapingBad - the second one is a Cisco.

Puff cotton is what I use and it is excellent

Can only speak about those I use which are genuine Ciscos.
No bridge, no wicking material, just an exposed coil sitting in the cup.

Cotton pads for me, every time. Which is just as well, as I bought a big bag of pads about a year ago, and have used about a 10th of a 'column' of pads, and there are three columns in the bag! Should be OK for a few months yet!
I also have a considerable amount of rayon, and also far too much silica braided wick, which is now so old hat that I could do with chucking it out. If it's any use to anyone, I'll gladly pop it in the post free of charge

A kind offer M8, which I'd like to accept if I may?
I'd willingly send You My muji pads in x'change but don't sound like You need any!!!


(Edit:- that's the Rayon I'm after, not the silica!!)

Thanks! Replied.

Wow, 'Fluff' gets >80% of the vote!

[beedee]

Thanks for the poll  Postmodern Smoking - love 'em.  

Tried cotton puffs, ekowool, rayon cellucotton, fibre freaks rayon pads, cotton bacon, mesh, steel rope (only as a feeder), but  silica wick is the only thing I don't get on with. I do like the trusty cotton puffs from Amazon, and am using rayon a lot at the moment, jury is still out for me on whether Rayon or cotton is best.
