Looking for Atty Wick Material

[ckreef]

Where can I buy the atty wick material ??

I have an atty where the coil is in good condition but there is no wick material left. I would hate to throw out the atty if I can just get and form a small piece of wick material.

You can get fine fiberglass cloth at the harware store, or you can get a surfboard fin repair rope at any surfshop local to you or online.

So the wick material is fiberglass cloth??

I thought it was some sort of fine metal fiber cloth.

Nope, silica(glass) threads. You can pull apart some cloth, or get the fin repair material and it is already in threads(prolly cheaper to for a small amount).

TY for the info LowThudd I should be able to find something local.

You can get swatches of fiberglass mesh at any decent auto-parts place that has a body work section. Or header wrap perhaps.

Automotive glass cloth is usually coarse weave, probably too coarse for this application. The Attys are tiny.

Lots of information in the Atomizer Modders sub forum. Here's a good thread to start

Silica "fire wick" rope: My thanks to carlos49 for sending me some till I found it. It's the white braided rope used on wood stove doors.
From carlos49-"A word of advice if anyone is interested, get the loosley knitted type it's a lot easier to unknit without it breakinginto little pieces. http://www.mcmaster.com/#silica-rope/=3a9xbm
Some use the rope from hardware store kits.

IMHO Fiberglass would not be a good thing to have in a device that you inhale from as it's really bad stuff in the lungs. Some people do use it in cart and atty mods though.

Personally I would not use fiberglass as they use binders and chemical in the process of making it...you can get a lifetime supply of silica here....

There are no binders, unless it is water activated glass(medical cast making glass cloth). The binders are entirly in the resin used in the processes.

It says 40m of 1mm fiberglass wick for 10 euros. This may be what is used by cetin in the A2.
