I just today got some silica wick and some 32g kanthal and a 6x6 piece of #400 stainless mesh, I am currently using the large Vivi Nova's so got these items on Ebay cheap, got the silica in case I can't get the mesh to work.
Plus in my mind the whole time I knew I would end up with a rebuildable of some sort and it wouldnt go to waste, so yeah yesterday I ordered a AGA-T2 lol ... I mean including shipping it was under $30 and from what I have seen it looks like it will be fun to screw with, plus I always have my Vivi Nova's anyway ... I think building wick for the Vivi's is well worth it as well, I mean whats the cost? .25 cents? versus $2.50 plus I dont have to worry about getting my order in if I don't have any stocked up, just make a wick and good to go!
