Where to buy rebuildable supplies?? Wicks, wire, etc...

[JFiddy2488]

Im going to try rebuiling and b4 buying an rba I want to try making a coil for vivi nova. It seems simple enough but the sites I usually buy from don't have any supplies for rebuilding. Any suggestions for what to use and who has the best prices??

Thanks, whats the difference, plus and minuses to cotton, silica, or ss. I see a lot of recommendations for ss but don't really understand the difference

SS is typically used to rebuild Genesis style RBAs (I pasted that link before I saw you wanted to rebuild Nova's). Some folks worry about Silica particles so they look for "natural' fiber for wicks. I've never had a problem with Silica so never bother trying any of the cotton/hemp/etc. For my wick based rebuildables (Odysseus, Penelope, Vivi Nova Mini & Standard) I use the 3mm COV Silica wick because of all the ones I've tied it has always been high quality and taste free.

Also, a nice place ive ordered from 3 times. They have 25' of 33 or 36 guage, last time i looked, for $2.75. And they have silica and ss.

Rtd looks nice especially for batteries good selection and prices... I always assumed that novas ce4s/5s and all the others came with silica wick already so thats why I was confused on the mixed reviews I had been seeing.

If your going to rebuild, you'll want to try cotton.

No, Smoking is much worse. No, dont buy cotton on ebay. Drug stores, Walmart and craft stores. Many different options in 100% cotton. Boil it before using.
