So I bought a Taifun GT yesterday. What works as a wick, other than Stainless Steel Mesh, with 1 strand of 3 mm Silica wick, or 3 pieces of 2 mm Silica wick? Just trying to get ideas.

Vertical coil wrapped in hemp fiber, then a 2mm HF rolled strip through the channels, works best for me
i run plain old 2mm X3 in one of mine, cut long enough to reach the tank bottom and the ends sticking out are fluffed up before i fill the first time. works fine.
Can't do hemp sadly. If even it has a damned trace of ..., and it will pop in a test, they are looking for excuses to get rid of people these days.
The way I saw Todd do it is a little different. I might use the Navy Lifeguard Method, and allow a few strands, like a couple from the bottom most wick, to touch bottom.
I've done SS, SS with a silica center, regular silica 3x2mm, micro coil and cotton. I have now settled on 2x3mm loose german silica. flavor is excellent as is wicking.
I use a 1/16 diameter micro coil, 28ga kanthal, and cotton ball wick, trimmed off a couple mm beyond the edge of the chamber.

What size is your coil? I have a bunch of 3mm german silica and its not getting used much.
^ what he said. My exact setup on the TFG, (except 2 strands of SnC yarn) perfect vape every time.
I wrap my coil normaly with silica. I use a good size pin in between the two 3mm strands and wrap away, usually a 4/3 wrap. I find the trick with the german silica is to wrap it snug, not tight, it will choke the wick if its too tight but, you don't want it loose either
it's a fine line...
