depends on how much you use for each wick, but the wick when built can easily last a month or more with cleaning. im still working on a 12x12 in sheet i bought in feb.

200 by 100 what ?

most likely MM so a 4x8 in sheet.

Go to liberty flights....Heating Coils, Wicks & Mesh

They'll sell you a sheet of 400 mesh measuring 33cm x 33cm for £5.29. Absolute best deal that i know of, by a mile !. And it should last for at least a year. My ss wicks last about 2 or 3 weeks.

i belive it 200mm x 100mm

That should still last you a few months !

About 50mm x 45mm..

you can get it over at alba vapors in Ireland 200mm x 300mm for around £5.51
for £6.00 you can get the 500 which many feel is better.

you have to play with it resistance wire and all that affect the wicking. usually between 20 and 50 mm wide.
