silica

jesus what a terrible experience way back then lol

Hi, I used silica wicks for about 8 month when I first got into vaping a long time ago. Recently I read about some of the dangers of silica and I wonder how much risk I exposed myself to. Good thing is I've always kept my wicks well saturated when I vaped. Hopefully that cuts down on the number...

Hi, I'm posting because I just encountered some silica wick on ebay while looking for pre-built coils and different kinds of pre-built wire. I've only used cotton so far- gonna get some rayon eventually but I think I'll order some from USA, people here in UK buy the rayon in bulk from US and...

Do any refillable pod systems use silica wicks like the Juul? It seems like the most common complaint about pod systems is dry cotton hits. Some of it may be due to folks not properly "priming". But at least some of it comes from chain vaping and/or poor wicking. I've heard people say that...

Quite a while ago I learned about a range of carcinogenic substances, including silica which is common in man-made sand. I was recently at a beach and my tank managed to get quite a bit of sand in, however I did not realise until after a couple of days. So I've essentially been inhaling silica...

Hello Everyone, I was shopping around for some new coils for my Kanger Genitanks. I have been using the "newer" BDC 1.8 coils. On one vendor's website I noticed "Kanger Upgraded Dual Coils VOCC Organic Cotton" coils. These appear to be identical to the "regular" coils with silica wicks but...

Hello vape nation. Hoping to get some insight on using silica for wicking. I'll be getting my first rebuildable in a couple days (in transit now) and I already have organic cotton coming with it to build wicks. I'd like to also try silica and make a determination of what my preference is. What...

my coil fire up when I make it with 33 gauge kanthak,I put one wick in it as shown in the youtube videos, but when I put in the top wick it stops working.Since I don't have silica yet, i'm using good portion of my kanger t2 silica. is this happening because of the t2 silica?i'll have to buy...

Hi i'm from kol kata ,India, I've read a lot about replacing the silica wick with organic cotton for kanger mini protank 2 can you suggest me a brand available locally or online in India that can be used for this purpose ,I have jhonsons cotton swabs and ordinary cotton wool at home but I don't...

Hey, I use .32 gauge kanthal A1 and 2.5mm VoodooWool (silica) I've been experimenting with different builds on kanger heads and feel I can hit the resistance I seek (2.5) with 6 wraps of the .32 Kanthal. The problem is that without a flavour wick; I instantly get persistent gurgling. If I add...

Wondering if anyone can find anything wrong with using silica wicks for health reasons. Or maybe just an argument for using cotton.

What wick material do you use for your RSST? I am about to get one (saw good deals in the classifieds) and dont know what works better on this particular RBA. Silica, Mesh, etc? What one provides a solid vape with a good price

I ordered some ekowool and I'm waiting for it to come in so I'm using cotton as my wick and since ekowool is hollow, can I make a ekowool wick with a cotton core? Or would it burn? Also I'm thinking about trying a quad coil build and I'm not sure what the difference between dual and quad.

Hi ecf, Got a small question regarding using cotton wicks vs silica. I've ordered this from ebay, Silica Wick with Kanthal. Then I heard about the health concerns regarding Silica, did some research about cotton wicks but I have no idea on how to get my hands of some. I know you have to make...

Hello everyone, I bumped into these two long threads about the dangers of silica: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modding-forum/284030-wick-materials-safe-vs-dangerous.html http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/atomizer-mods/232081-just-stainless-steel-wick-filler.html I wonder if it...

I have tried to rebuild my vivi nova using just a U wick made of 500 ss mesh, vapor was adequate. I want clouds of vapor. I don't know if it is possible, as I have only a Vision Spinner to work with right now, but the coils I wrap are only between 1.8 and 2.4 ohms. Right now the wick I made fits...

Im trying to rebuild my vivi nova again, I was wondering if I could wrap the ss mesh around the silica, trim off the exposed strands of silica and then just do the oxidation process. Or do I need to oxidize the ss mesh first and then wrap it around the silica? Im hoping this might improve vapor...

alright.. i made a double coil with tripple twisted 30 gauge kanthal in 3 loops on each wick which is made of 4 strands of 3mm silica. the ohms on my nimbus are measuring at .002!! im getting tons of great clouds.. nice warm vapor.. im really enjoying it but can this be bad in any way...

Hello, I wanted to contact GOTVAPES but they seem to only use either snail mail or this forum, so im not sure if the people from GOTVAPES read this, but i was wondering if they will ever go to cotton wicks, i have heard some bad things about the silica wicks especially with small fibers going...
