I've done a few of the hyped wicking matterial's in turn since I started vaping... silica, mesh, organic cotton balls, KGD, SnC, CC and now RxW. Each has worked mostly OK at the time I first did them in the rebuildable toppers I was using at that time, but some way better than others. I got tired of messing with silica and mesh AND the toppers I used them both in... became a dedicated cotton user more than any other when the OCB's came along. KGD was a huge improvement on OCB in ease of use and faster wicking for me. The CC (Rayon) was even faster wicking and easy enough in use, but with my long lung hits I burnt and destroyed the wicks pretty fast so had to constantly rewick. The SnC reminded me of silica, didn't work well for me in the toppers I wanted it for. So it was back to the KGD and that's what I have stayed with for a long time. I'll give the RxW a fair chance to prove itself... if it doesn't I'll be back with the KGD that I am very OK with in any of my current toppers. Even after all this time the one box of KGD I bought will last me for a long time yet. So what to do with all the silica, mesh, OCB's, SnC and CC? They're all together in a box set aside, backup's that could be used in a pinch if the need arises. Cost matters not to me to have what works the best for my style of vaping... the cost of all the wicking I have ever bought is next to nothing in comparison to everything else.
This morning I'm mostly vaping my all time favorite joose with RxW, and it IS getting it done way better for me than even my preferred KGD does. Even so only time and more playing will tell if RxW will remain in my line up. Like with all the others, I have enough of it to last a long time so won't need to buy any more wicking of any kind for a very long time.
Not hype... I said "for me" for all of this. YMMV
