I have been using ekowool from KidneyPuncher for wicking material. Today I noticed it shedding tiny particles when adjusting the coil wrapped around it. The particles are dusty and crystal like. They appeared on the base of my IGO-L atomizer and on my fingertips. My concern is inhalation of these particles. Anyone experienced this? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I just checked mine and don't see anything like that. Just little black dots from it popping.

Is your ekowool black around the coil or no?

The wick does turn black around the coil area which I know is perfectly normal. That's when I clean it by torching it and it goes back to a nice clean white color. Then I attach it back onto the atomizer. The issue though is when it's dry it flakes and starts to shed these tiny particles. They're white and crystal like. The first time noticing this was when I adjusted the coil wrapped around about 1mm it sort of scraped the ekowool causing it to shed. This stuff seems pretty fragile and is shedding quite easy. Am worried about it coming through the vapor on inhale.
