you mean stainless mesh wicks?
yea everyone with a rebuildable atomizer like a genesis, head over to the rba forums and you will learn all you want to know.
they last a long time, and give a unique, some say crisper flavor, as well as make the nic feel totally different then something like a nova or clearo.

They were close enough. Mesh still uses capillary action. Yea I have. Most use from 325 -400 ss mesh. It takes practice to get it right. You are pretty much stuck with RBA's on mesh but some have tried it on the viivi nova. The rebuildables are the ones best suited for mesh. You take the mesh and wrap it around some know dia. rod, drill bit or paper clip then you oxidize it with water or VG or a combo of both. Then I wrap the section that will hold the coil in cig paper then wrap the heating wire in most cases 32 ga kanthal A1 about 6 turns then i install the wick dry burn it and then you fill it and vape away. I like the flavor but if you like loads of vapor it is tough to get it to do that IME. But I have grown to like it. It last longer and does not shed silica fiber for you to breath in. It lasts a long time too. You just dry burn rinse and refill or how ever you like to do it. I have 2 RBA's and AGA T and a Griffin. Love them both. Only weak point is the gromit on the bottom of the center post easy to break. The AGA T can also be wicked like a Clearo. But it is not good at it IME.
