anyone know where to buy Amorphous silica wicks from?
All silica used in wicks (fiber-glass thread) is amorphous. These silica fibers are not risk-free, but they do not cause silicosis, and they are very resilient to heat fracturing.
My bottom-coil Kanger Protank causes me NONE of the irritations that new cartomizers cause. Fantastic technology, and well worth the small investment. And can be recoiled and rewicked indefinitely.
That all said, I have more concerns about the coil material than any wick (save for oxidized SS, there I agree with Boden entirely). It is probable that the risk from Ni or Cr or Al (kanthal) is small, but when one finds out about ANY risks, the brain tends to obsess on it, making the vape less pleasurable, at least to me. Currently exploring the possibility of titanium coils, but while Ti is very safe indeed, it might be a metal that is hard to coil easily. Can't find enough info however. Seems a year ago it was the hot topic, then it died without a trace that I can find. This is a bit OT, but anyone able to point me in the right direction?
