ok so i bought 100 ft kanthal wire 32 gauge , 15 ft of silica wick and the igo L. The silica wick is expensive. My questions are will 1600 heat resistance silica work or should i return it will it resist he@at too much? Also now i know why so many love cotton besides huge vapor....its cheap compared to silica or ekowool jeeze! But yeah will the silica.i.bought work or too high of heat resistance? Good thing or bad thing?
No, 1600 heat resistance is a good thing. Means it can reach that temperature before it catostrophically fails. Scorches, desintigrates, degrades, etc. Thus to clean a coil with silica or even ekowool, you can dry fire the coil clean with the silica still in the coil, most silica is rated between 1100 to 1600 degrees, higher that rating the more punishment it will take
As far as taste of silica, it can take a bit to break in the flavor on it some times, but once it does finally get broken in, it is a good
vape. All factory Clearomizers come with some form of silica wicking, 510 dripping atomizers also use silica. Compared to a standard cartomizer, silica doesn't mute the flavor as much so you will notice a drastic change in flavor at first, it is also very very easy to work with in rebuildables, very maleable, though can be fragile if you abuse it (ie, wrapping wire to tightly can cut and fray it)
Haha but really you guys are great! Does anyone know why ekowool is pricier? besides it being different materials . In terms of vaping though does it have less break in period or a better taste?
