That's why I really need to know what wicking material they're using if anyone knows PLEASE.

I think @Burnie has good handle on original wicking material. I've just been playing around with cotton, gauze and whatever else i might dig up.
Well every time I tried KGD, no matter how tight I wrapped it, it flooded, so that is a no go for me. The silica sheets I did, did not have a problem with flooding, just with the coil Ω. I still need to work on that, just have not had any time due to real life work. :( Might get some time this weekend, but don't know. :(

Well what I did for a pinch was tore the burnt part off the wrap that was on it. Cleaned the coil with a flame, switched ends on the wrap and re-wrapped it. Just until my coils get here. It worked good but then I noticed my tank was broke

. I bought two more from madvapes. The white ones were only $12.00 each.

Ya but there's 2 good things that came out of it all. I have black plastic ends and could repaint or cover with a black wrap if I don't want white and # 1 is they were only $12.00 each. #2 I wanted one to rob the switch and other parts to use in a build I've been thinking of. So in the end it worked out okay. I'm just worried these might fade into the sunset and they'll quit selling them.
Have a great day all.

I got my icares in today. I haven't juiced them up yet but I was surprised at how sturdy they feel. I got the black and gold, both feel like metal and the plastic end caps are strong. I'm making a guess the tank is glass. They aren't as disposable as I expected which is good. Stealthy little things. They are going to get lost in my luggage sized purse. I bet they'd be good little travelers on airlines too. I'm impressed just unboxing.

Next journey is how to give them a bit more pizzaz. I already know I'm going to miss my drip tips.
