What's the best wicking material?

Do you wrap your coil around the silica when you make it? I tried stuffing silica into a mico coil and it was a no go for me.

Yes

I like silica and rayon the best. Silica I like to hand roll 4 coils using a pin and get 1.8 which is great for flavor with an evod.
I use rayon for the builds that I want to dry burn and rewick.

I followed the wick crew everywhere they went. When cellucotton was in I drove myself to Sally's Beauty Supplies and picked up a huge box of cellucotton. In no time that was out and Japanese cotton was in at this point I gave up! Now I just vape my huge box of cellucotton and honestly...I've gotten over it.

ReadyXWick for me for the past year. Use nothing else.

I used cotton balls, then bought (Amazon) set of Japanese pads from 3 manufacturers (15 from each), hoping to find which one is better. Decided to use one pad of each then decide what I like better. Started with KGD three months ago. Still less than 1/3 of one pad used - I rewick about once in 3 weeks. Looks like I've got a lifetime supply of pads (45 of them total).
Do not see any difference in vape quality between balls and pads, but pads are mach more easy to work with.

I bought that same sample pack and to be honest i can't tell any difference in the vape , they are all excellent.

I have used just about everything from organic cotton balls , Peaches and Cream yarn , Ramie to Rayon and now just stick to Japanese cotton .

Imo, there is no superior material out there that is head and shoulders above the rest , they are all so ridiculously close in vaping quality and it's hard to tell differences , especially major differences .

Subtle differences , sure i will give you that but i don't buy it when people say one is vastly superior to another.

My best choice is Rayon, and I highly recommend using it. However as somebody said, you should try out a sample of different types and see which one you find it appropriate!
