use 100% cotton yarn for wick, silver beading wire 30 to 34 Ga. for nr wire, any hobby store or jewelry store should have it and you can get res wire on ebay nic or kan. i am using what i suggested right now in my oddy as i type this in. more info can be found in the modders forum in wick material thread. what i cannt find a substitute for is the cremate insert but i think you could use a broken one if you had all the pieces
