Any heads up on how you're doing the rebuild? I'd love to try one.
Sorry I missed this last night.
I just pulled the old wick out, pulled 1 strand of yarn away from the other 3, rolled it on the end as tight as I could, slid it through the coil so that the rolled was longer than I needed, cut it off just past the rolled part, cut the other end to match the length from the coil. Took me about 5 minutes each to get the old wicks out of the iclears,30 seconds each to get the new wick in and cut to length. The old wicks were very swollen and silica falls apart very easily. I'm 50 with 50 year old eyes so lets just say getting the fragments out of the coil itself without messing anything up was "interesting". It was like the stuff was weaved into the
coils themselves on the iclears, the EVODs silica came right out when I initially changed them to cotton ball wicks.
I'm off work tomorrow, gonna take a whack at changing a wick in an iclear 30B. It looks like it'll be about as easy peasy as an EVOD. The iclear 30S looks like it's way outta my league but once a coil goes bad in one I'll tear it apart and see if I'm intimidated for nothing. 16 wicks through 2 coils then into a tube that goes inside the
tank doesn't sound easy peasy at all.
Edit, the iclear 30B wasn't so easy afterall. Pulled coil out trying to get the silica out, same thing it was weaved into the coil but they were so new they didn't come apart, just as I tugged I felt the coil pop, it came right on out with the wick. I guess I'll be leaving then silica until I can get educated on the right way to change them.
