A2 - Anyone ever find a working wire and wick?

[JesterDev]

Just about out of the the wire and wick I ordered, and I'm just curious if anyone has ever found a reliable source for these? I read about using the wire from an old hair dryer, and even making wick from an old oven door etc. Don't really think that's safe(?).

Anyway, where might I get some?

Here's a great nichrome source at a great price. As far as wick check in the modders forum for either A2 or the atomiser, or maybe even rebuilding atties. I haven't had to get more wick yet, sorry.

Great! That looks like more then I will need in my lifetime. What gauge would you suggest? 40 seems really thin, but that might just be what I need.

go to nhaler and buy the stuff used in the ATO-MIZER

Any size between 0.12mm and 0.15mm is good. 0.12mm seems to work better than what Centin supplies, IMHO. That's what I ordered and I can't complain one bit.

I haven't tried this yet but it looks interesting and when i contacted them they say it is all glass fiber, 40m of 1mm fiberglass wick bahrs technik | bahrs technik | Bewässerung | Entwässerung | Beregnung | Heizung | Sanitär | | Glasfaserdochte | Ortmann Glasfaserdocht - 1 mm oh and to everyone talking about silica being safer it is all-glass fiber you cant use fiberglass with binding materials, Fiberglass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
