If you rebuild the coils do this mod and there will be 0 burn rubber taste in your coil :
Method tested by me in at least 5 builds and not even one had burn taste.

First look, nice isolation BTW.
But the above picture to me epitomizes my experience with "burny grommets". Any wick media that disintegrated had to endure an inordinate power temp level, as might be induced by the effect of lowered resistance to power applied in a short.
Silica frays, breaks down, dismembers, becomes accordingly more prone to temperature under the stress of a contact short. And it is ridiculously simple to accomplish with a hand wind subsequently installed in a clearo. Even if you build it on a gold toothpick or poke it thereafter to hold it in place for installation you start to disembowel it and thereafter susceptible to inadequate contact and a hot leg. Then it's the dickens to try to insert into any coil except the latter variety, too big in the end, and you still are prone to the hot leg. You have to successfully target a diameter that is at best proximate but smaller than the apparent diameter of the silica. And there's hell to pay getting it in. Compress too much and your flooding and gunking. Shatter it internally and you have premature disintegration. All that I describe, the perfect recipe for shorts and sub-optimal coil operation.
Like I said the very picture of "burny grommets" that. But YMMV.
Great isolation though, really.
Good luck!
