I'll give it some trial and error...see what I can come up with. The low warmup time really interests me, and the technique as a whole seems great. I might try it with different # SS mesh to see if I can get higher surface area, too...then I could just put the mesh in a bed of cotton batting and get loads of great vapor (theoretically). If that doesn't work I'll try bunny balls instead of silica wicking - silica just is not doing it for me, so I'm going to experiment with other wick materials. Loose batting seems like it would a lot better than wick, but I'll find out.
