yup, same stuff ... LOL ...

i believe they have tried to come up with alternatives, but haven't found anything to my knowledge.

I have a mouse infestation that I dealing with in the house and was advised to get some steel wool to fill the holes around the holes around the house... can you see where this is leading?

Anyway I was looking for some steel wool on ebay and found some stuff called Professional steel wool that is very fine grade and thin with no oil residue. It is called Liberon steel wool, grade 0000. For about 5 quid which include posteage I have gotten 100g of the stuff which I thought would be small, but is actually humongous.

Anyway I have since managed to clear the mice with some humane traps (caught 6 of them in total), however the wool came today by post and the first thing I though was to try and replace the wool in my cart with some of this stuff. So far it is fantastic and doing the trick. It seems finer than the wool in teh cart and much finer than the atomiser mesh.

I've cut a nice piece out and I am hoping that I can use it without having to recondition it as much as the fish tank filter stuff.

I'll give you all an update after a few days to tell you how it's going.

Not sure if there are different grades of steel wool, but this definitely made me think twice about using it!

Now do you know this to be safe to inhale through...or are you just trying it first?

Holy smokes! LOL

Maybe we can try some Brillo and clean our atomizers at the same time we vape

I'm not sure I'd like the "cleaning" my lungs would get.

Another thing to bear in mind with using steel wool as the filler, is that even if it withstands the atomiser temperatures and doesn't spontaneously combust, it is still very conductive. Any juice in the cart will get heated a lot quicker as the wool heats up and therefore be more likely to evaporate more quickly.

The ideal would be something preferably less conductive than steel like cotton wool, or some other natural fibre only with a higher melting point... I researched ceramic fibre which can withstand extremely hot temps, but this is apparently carcinogenic when inhaled.

Silicon is another one and probably similar to what's currently in our ecig carts...
