I have decided to try my hand rebuilding Wicks for the ViviNova. I've got 32 and 36 ga Kanthal on it's way. Sent my wife out shopping to JoAnne's to pick up Cotton and Bamboo yarn and I had already picked up some Silica Wick. I'm looking forward to trying out all the combinations and especially the Bamboo wicks. I keep reading great things about it. I am a little nervous about coiling the wicks properly but I suppose it just takes a little practice. Wish me luck
