I'd like to pre-face this post by saying it's better to buy from SNG, they are professionals and treating the product properly.
On the other hand since they are always out I've been forced to go direct and take the risk. My method of treating is to put this through a blow torch for 5-10 minutes and then boil in water for another 5 minutes. Danger Will Robinson-That doesn't mean I'm doing it right.
I found this URl by accident. How I don't know!
Every time I've gone to the Omega Website I've only seen Qty of 10 feet at time plus, with this URL you can buy in 1 Foot Qty
Find by partnumber
To find any of the other Nextel products just substitute them into the url
for example
Copy and paste this into browser and if you are looking for XC-116 replase the XS-18 with XC-116
Find by partnumber
Danger Will Robinson [Again]: You have to flame this product with a blow torch for at least 5 - 15 minutes to get rid of the sizing [Bad Chemicals] and I'm not sure if you can trust what I'm saying. Maybe wiser heads will put in there 2 cents.
Companies like the one that begin with K are selling this to end users without proper instructions.
Companies like SNG are selling this responsibly by treating it the proper way.
This wick is pre-treated by SnG Vapor with heat to remove contaminants. We recommend a small dry-burn after wrapping to remove any latent skin oils present from processing, but we have heated this wick to over 750deg Celcius to remove contaminants. 3M tech sheets state that the minimum safe temperature for removing sizing is 700deg C, and we go a hare over that to ensure full cleaning.
