edit: I think I posted this in the wrong forum, so mods, feel free to delete this thread, I reposted it elsewhere

I used the search function, and couldn't find a thread that lists the types of wick material one can use.

I an mainly interested in the most up to date list of available materials that can be used for wicking.

Is polyfill usable in RBAs and/or protanks/BCCs?

Your basic categories are:

Glass fibers-Silica, German silica, ecowool, etc
Ceramic fibers-Nextel
Organic fibers-Cotton ball is good, cotton strings, yarns, hemp, etc
Porous Ceramic-Aluminum Oxide (must DIY), fc2000?, etc
SS Mesh
Metal foams- Nickel Foam? Didn't keep up with that thread

Have you looked at the Wick Materials Safe vs Dangerous thread? Hope this helps some
