gents no I'm using the SS mesh straight up, and the 100% cotton yarn from michaels straight up.
the wicking action is unbelievale compaed to fighting with silica. I'm not quite at the point where I'm going to pull the silica out of a new fluxo, but I wait eagerly for the time to come when I don't feel so bad pulling that frayed wick out and replacing it
Been doing the same with my stardusts as well; eager to do it to my pheonix cartos soon
if you're interested just stop by michaels and get the 100% white cotton yarn, its sugar and cream brand (don't get the SCENTED one). 2.99 for a lifetime supply. Just boil to be safe, dry, and use a whole strand of it. You can work the fluxo wick out gently so as to not disturb the coils. Then wind up the cotton yarn really tight, dampen the end of it, and twist/thread it through. Grab the end out of the opposite side with needle nose pliers or tweezers, and pull it through. Fill and vape
Did this with stainless steel mesh today, works like dynamite, didn't have to unsolder/resolder anything. Just don't wreck the coil
