S1RFW1 Braided fiberglass wick approximately 1/16 inch diameter. SKU: 1376-100 Round Fiberglass Wick. Spool size 100 yards. - WickStore.com

I bought this. It is fat enough that there is no need to double it. It is braided so it is easy to run a big needle down the center to make it easier to wrap the coil. I am not an expert but this works for me. This roll should last a long time.

iAtty No Resistance Wire - Nickel

iAtty Resistance Wire

New Odysseus Wick

COV is the best way to restock quickly and the only place I know of to get the latest silica wick. It works the best IMO.

To get bulk wire goto:

http://www.wires.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000...#aNI0236_2d050 50g 0.236mm Nickel Wire

wires.co.uk : Bare Nickel Chrome / Nichrome Section 50g 0.16mm Nickel Chrome Wire
or if you want thinner wire you can buy 0,122mm ir 0,132mm

That is where I got mine last August and still have plenty left. It just takes a little while to get to the states.

EBAY EBAY EBAY!!! I like Kanthal A1 much better than Nichrome... and Kanthal A1 in 32g and 34g can be purchased for about 5 bucks each for 75 feet....

Pure .999 Silver 30g dead soft NR wire can be purchased from a company called TwistedJewels.com @ .30 cents a foot.... 95 feet is a half ounce and will last you quite a long time... Shipping is free if you purchase through their website and make a minimum purchase which if I remember correctly is like $25.00

I am a Nextel XC-116 guy for wick and that can be purchased from Omega.com but its $1.50 a foot minimum order is 10ft and shipping is very expensive but worth it IMO.... Nextel must be heat treated before use and please do your homework on it before using as it isnt for everybody....

That looks like the origional iAtty wick. If so many people recommend not using it. There have been some health issues expressed with it in the past.

The above places for wire are all great. Personally I bought my NR wire from here

I like it because it is cheap and durable. Shipping kinda sucks but if you buy from there you will have enough nr wire to last till the second coming probably.

Resistance wire if you like Nichrome get it from the same place kills 2 birds ith one stone and since you are paying for shipping anyways might as well. If you prefer Kanthal E-bay is great for 32 or 36 awg for some reason I can never finr 34 but RW said he got his directly from Kanthal.

Wick is the biggest problem. The stock iAtty fiberglass wick has had some health issues voiced. The New Iatty wick and Ody wick are available from COV but bulk isn't always available. Nextel is readily available but takes a bit of work to be used. Others have mentioned using Bulli wick and Mesh but there isn't a whole lot of ingo on Bulli and mesh again takes a bit to use.
