Difference between Silica wick for RBA with Silica wick

[paulkok_my]

Hi, is there any difference between a silica wick for rba with silica wick?

I'm a newbie thinking of going into rba after reading tons of info in ECF on RBAs and I want to make sure I got all the items correct before wetting my feet.

If there is a link to a beginners guide for rba would be great.

not exactly sure what your asking but I'll take a stab at it. There is no difference in silica wicks other then size in diameter, At least that I have seen

I don't understand what you are asking either. Can you explain or ask again with some detail of what your trying to do? That would help a lot & get you some answers.

there is silica wick ( looks like twisted twine) and there is ekowool ( looks like weaved rope or parachute cord) and is hollow inside (tube like) either will work in an RBA/RDA

It's all the same - some people call it silica, others call it silica wick.

There are different type of materials that can be used in wicking an atomizer. Most prebuilt atomizers or atomizer heads (the item you replace in your cartomizer/glassomizer) use silica as the wicking material. Individuals who rebuild their own coils can also use silica but they often use ekowool, organic cotton or stainless steal mesh as their wicking material.

I did a search in Fasttech and the results here is confusing, http://www.fasttech.com/search?rebuildable parts

One says silica wick for rebuildable atomizers and another just say twisted silica wick.

Are they the same?

Sounds like a selling point to me.

I just purchased Ekowool from Madvape & they offered hollow or solid core.
I got the solid at 2.5mm. Is there an advantage to the hollow core??

Just the wicking properties. Hollow is better for a genesis style atomizer, while solid works best in RDAs.
