russian made ekowool is the one to get.. i ordered some on ebay.. make sure its hollow.. ive seen some "ekowool' being sold but has cotton filler inside
That would be the "Twik" ekowool my daughters make and sell, that you saw on Ebay. It is original Russian Ekowool tubing, with a natural, undyed organic cotton thread core. The cotton is to improve the wicking of the ekowool, the ekowool is to protect the cotton from burning. It works really well, and those that have tried it so far love it.
The idea came to me because I was using organic cotton wicks for safety from regular silica wick (not ekowool) but I didn't like having to build new wicks and coils weekly. Cotton by itself is a great wick, but doesn't last long due to the coils burning it. Personally, I think it is a vast improvement over the hollow ekowool by itself. I hope to hear more opinions from people who have tried it, though.
