I know, i have a few new bottles of the regular RY4 from last order and use it for a rainy day when low on the good stuff.
Need to find another flavor just in case , i did revisit 2 others that i thought i liked in the past but apparently not anymore.
Been useing exclusively the real Did genesis atty's (have 2) with mesh wicks @1.7-2.0 ohms and very very happy over the months that have past.
Getting a AGA-T+ with plastic and glass
tank tomorrow that was on pre-order to try out and compare to my DID's and waiting
for a vendor to get there order in for FC-2000 ceramic wicks to try as well in place of stainless although have good stock on hand of mesh but im curious to make a comparison.
Gave up the silica wick stuff a good while back after seeing some very fine shards of it at bottom of drip tip with a jewelers eyepiece.
Not trying to set of alarms or anything but personally i was not comfortable seeing them .
Here in this inverted picture kind of like an x-ray if you look close on the rim and inside the drip tips those darker specks which are white actually when seen in normal fashion are the small fragments of the silica and not crud from the cake that builds up on all types of wicks including stainless mesh.
