That's the one thing I love about the RxW, always the same consistency, just snip off same lengths with nail clipper then the set it and forget it . I did enjoy the flavor qualities of KGD but the Rxw wasn't that noticeably different in my opinion so the hoopleproofness ( is that a real word?) of the RxW made the difference for me. My lady's & my wicks are
thru the second month now with the same wicks. They are still almost perfect after dryburn.
