Works fine, he's a good guy. The guy that owns it comes and visits one of the B&M shops here in Arizona every once in a while and always brings neat new toys to play with. I'm not sure why you kept getting bad links though.
It has to do with it having to be heat treated before use, it's not recommended to use it without treating it first. But they can't say that, because people will attempt it without knowing what to do and get it wrong and blame them. It's much easier to put a blanket don't use this policy out there to protect themselves.
Thanks for clearing that up!
I think I put sng into google...in all small letters....it may have been user error too on my part. If everybody is vouching for this site I won't hesitate to order.
I bookmarked it.
The neat thing about it is that since you just torch the wick clean it lasts forever (not literally, but it lasts a really long time) so a single foot will last months and months. So worst case and you had a bad experience with them (which I highly doubt but hey worst case right) you'd only be out a couple dollars.
I don't torch my wick but have experienced a few really nasty tasting ones including a Germany made silica. This is the cheapest and best I have personally tried.

All of the aforementioned vendors sell basically the same low-quality stuff. It's all twisted pair silica or worse yet cheap fiberglass. There is only one vendor I know of in the US who sells the german silica that I personally swear by.
RTDvapor.com-
Wick and Wire : Silica Wick
I've had this stuff going for almost a month in two different drippers. Doesn't really get brittle, doesn't need to be pre-torched. Holds together nicely during coiling also. Well worth the $1/ft price. I've yet to try it in my genesis though, my wick and coil have been too stable to mess with lol.

Upgrade to ceramic and all your wick troubles will be solved.

And besides that, I hardly think an Authorized U. S. resller of German made Bulli-Smoker products is selling cheap wick. And I have bought from Vaporcigzz and RTD.
But I have no wick troubles - my wicks even wick
I enjoy lighting my rda on fire and watching the old juice just burn off nicely and having it be pristine again.

Congrats I am sure you had fun doing it.
Some of us are not ready to do SS wick yet much less dive into ceramic and do need the information in plain old wicking material sources.
In my case I like the idea of being able to go to wall mark and buying a ball of cotton yarn to rewick my protank and octopus. Should wicking materials become difficult to get or I run out at a bad time I want to know how to improvise.

Ceramic acts looks and is almost exactly the same amount of complicated as silica. I could set them next to each other and you couldn't tell the difference until you played with it or looked really really close.

Yeah, Big Tex treats his Nextel ceramic in a kiln. I remember another thread that suggested a really high temp pre-treat and then it should be kiln fired at something like 1000 degrees for one to four hours. Something like that. The point is folks shouldn't just rush out and buy the UN-treated stuff hoping they will be able to treat it at home with a bic lighter or butane torch or something!
This stuff requires some *serious* heat and for relatively long times before it is usable as vaping wick.I re-wicked one of my clearos last night with cheese cloth. I think I used too much as it swells up pretty fast and makes it a very tight draw. It DOES seem to wick very well though. Anyone have any cheesecloth wick videos bookmarked they might like to share? This is my new avenue of vaping research
And for those still shopping silica I recommend you buy a short length from PBdragon.com, my chosen silica supplier, and compare it to the silica you can get from anyone else (actually order some from a different vendor or two as well). I think you will find the differences noticeable, as well as the price! Of course if he changes his supplier you may be out of luck. YMMV.
Which is fine but I can't walk into WalMart and buy ceraminc. I can buy cotton.
This is very true. But if your wick material lasts as long as ceramic why would you need to keep buying material?
