Fiberglass Wick - Bad choice?

[Stryker336]

So I bought these wicks to rebuild my vivi nova heads as they're faily cheap but realized this is different from the silica wicks. Think it's still safe to use?

It will probably work but I have found that the .8mm to 1.xmm size wick works best. I use four (4) of these about 2 inches in length. If you get bigger than .8 mm you may have to cut a notch in the silicone thingie that goes on top for the wick to work good. 1/8" is less wick than (4) .8mm wicks. IMO
I have rebuilt Vivi heads about 4 times and found this better than the other one piece method. Just remember if it gets too big you my have trouble putting it back into the head. Also don't forgot the notch don't go overboard either or you may get leakage.
