Anyone here knows where to get/buy atomizer wick ?

As the title says. If anyone have any info regarding this please do share. Thanks

I've search the forum regarding this and mostly need to buy from US which I think is troublesome. I prefer to buy on the spot.

I really have no idea unless you know exactly what the wicking material is made out of.

Having said that, wouldn't it be really difficult to reinsert a wick into an atomizer?

Thats where the foil comes in handy. Atm I'm trying alternatives and discussing this with Alvin , he should know who am I by now ehehe

it's available at local fiber glass resellers. But most of them sells in 20, 100, 1000 KG sold to industrial factories.

Salvaging the wick from old attys is another alternative. However, 510 wicks are too short.

Don't think of connecting two 510 wicks, they are too fregile, will break into pieces easily.

Most wicks are made from some kind of silica fiber (glass fiber). Normal glass fiber, or silica fiber has many grades. Almost all of them are bad for you if small slivers of them break and you inhale it into your lungs. Some do not break as easily, and are supposed to be better. That said, it doesn't mean that small slivers will not break off.

That's why I dewick atomizers, clean it out nicely to remove any remnants of the wick, then use them.

did anybody found something? (local supplier?)

nope... even if there is I wouldn't want to risk trying them out due to health concern. But I heard that the wick used in the bulli-smokers attys is one of the best ready to use wick.
