Difference in Silica wick

[mwa102464]

I'm seeing two different types of Silica wick it seems, one like COV sells , it's a brighter white and seems tighter wound, then one like Avid vapor sells that has a yellow-ish hue to it and seems looser wound. Anybody know what the difference is in thee two different types of Silica wick, there's no doubt there different.


Thanks for any help if anyone notices what I'm talking about, I would just like to know the difference and if one seems to work better then the other for people.

I haven't noticed variances in colour but I've definitely noticed differences between wick. Some are tighter wound, some are fibrous and brittle, while others are flexible and soft, then you have everywhere in between. You can notice the difference when using them, some wick better, some carry the flavour better and some will have an off taste. Apart from that I think the differences are negligible. Both are reputable sellers and I assume the wick is good quality. That's what matters!
