When receiving a new product we often get the little Silica gel packs. As we know the packs all say "DO NOT EAT!" So how are Silica wicks okay to heat up and inhale?
Silica gel packs bad but Silica wicks okay?

Nobody that I know smokes silica. Silica is vary heat resistant and is also used to make kitchen gloves and some of the baking molds I use.
Nice comeback on the consumption although I would still argue that there is a huge biological difference between ingesting and inhaling.
I was being flippant - sorry.
A lot of people actually talk about not using silica in their wicks because they are worried about inhaling little bits of the silica into their lungs. Alternatives are cotton, hemp, mesh or braided stainless steel.
I think anything that is constantly inhaled into the lungs has potential to cause issues - but I want to vape and so far, silica wicks are my best bet.

Don't eat the silica either.

If you can Vaporize silica - go for it.
I personally would NOT like the several thousand degree heat in my throat.

Before you do... Dial 9 - 1 First.
Then if you start to Pass Out, you Only have to Dial 1 instead of 9 - 1 - 1
Silica wick withstands very high temperatures, much higher than your coil can produce. You are not inhaling it.
This guy just figured it all out. We're dead. If only he were sooner.
