I found this site selling candles wicks, i am interested in using their cotton wick please check the link below.

Round braided 100% natural cotton oil lamp wick. Approximately 1/8 inch diameter. 250 yard spool. 1115 S1RCLW - WickStore.com

Does anyone have experience using these type of cotton wicks? Coz im looking for a better alternative from the silica wicks that are mostly used and sold by alot of vendors.Any feedback guys?

Cotton thread is quite possible to use the atomizer. The main condition is a good conductivity of the fluid.
I use a bamboo thread and it works very well. You just need to follow the thread was constantly wet.

If you use wick for candles or burners be sure to boil it well. The cotton is often treated with boric acid for burner/candle use. It should boil out OK.

Yes I also heard that boiling is a must to clean it from the all the manufacturing contaminants. And get the pure white uncolored. And with cotton wick you must keep it wet any dry hits will burn it. Cotton burns at a very low temperature , however the wicking ability is awsome.
