As long as it is properly treated to be free from manufacturing chemicals, I believe it to be one of the cleanest or safest wicks. I don't have any scientific evidence to back up my belief. I just developed my opinion from common knowledge of the materials available and some common sense.
A friend swears by the Ready-X wick. It can be dry-burned to simon white, repeatedly.

On a vapers standpoint here, I believe it is kind of only for lung hitters who are used to taking long draws at a time. I'm a mouth to lung guy so I need a quick heat up and that restricts me to very low ohm builds normally. Of all the complicated coils I build, I'm not even able to use any of them because I need low ohm builds that heat up fast. Ceramic wicks have a much longer heat up than I am used to, but for safety concerns and people who want the vape to be a consistent and clean vape, I do not doubt that ceramic wicks can be something that works great.
I like silica and ceramic wick, because they don't need to be replaced as often. I vape gunky NETs, cotton last 1 day if I'm lucky. Then it must be replaced. With silica and ceramic I still have to clean my wick almost everyday. But instead of basically rebuilding the atty, I just dry burn and rinse. Wick can stay in place in the coil till the coil dies.
The ceramics wicks are nice for certain builds. They wick well and last and last. I had one in for 5 months! And now with the larger, 4mm size can be used in most builds.
What is a good source for Ceramic Wicks?
Any specific tanks you use that are well suited to these?
Thanks
Eric
could you be a bit more specific as to what you are talking about?
tanks used to come with silica wicks.
over time the silica wicks would deteriorate and eventually fall apart.
a solid ceramic wick that would not deteriorate would be nice
