What BJ said
My ONLY concern with mesh is, carbonized crap being aerosoled into my lungs on a chronic basis leading to a increased risk of cancer. Purely a hypothetical ...., but it does bother me (the idea I mean).
I torch my wicks after every tankful or two for this reason, hoping I'm eradicating everything but metal. Probably a pipe dream. And before you ask no they don't become brittle and disintegrate, maybe I have a special touch.
Number one thing I'm paranoid about these days is flavors to be honest. I can tell you why, but that's another story and likely requires 250K of education and an anxiety disorder to understand
On my Vivi Nova, I do several very short dry burns to loosen the gunk, then blast it clean with a Waterpik. Obviously, a mesh wick, not cotton. Current wick and coil has been going for 2 months.
" avoid sewing close connections by machine as the 'hairs' could potentially short across small distances."
Sounds like it may be short circuit prone, especially on mesh. But at $3.00, might be worth a try.

In the data sheet for this item on lower left corner they mention for heating use VN/HT, but I can't find it

For silicas users, has anyone tried a similar concept of analog? Put a similar concept of a filter, to prevent inhaling some if the silicas. Doesn't need to be a big filter, jst something to prevent inhaling it.
yep, I have used a piece of 400 mesh, a piece of and analog filter, and a bunch of other tests, usually just stuff something up into the drip tip.
I just cut a 1/4 in long piece the diameter of the bottom of the mouth piece hole and placed it in there. works...
All filters accumulate condensation and have to be taken out, washed and dried often.
Yes, I was thinking along those lines too, maybe braid it into some cotton.
Exactly what I was thinking Cool...say in a CE2 you could make a 2mm size wick that ran through the cup and dropped down each side as per usual but attach your leads to each end of the drops, essentially run current through the whole wick...got to be honest I can usually predict how something may work from past experience but that????
are you all boiling the candle wick as well? I know most are not boiling the cheesecloth.
Not sure how a SS wick/coil 'rope' would do in an actual CE2; even with the coil in the ceramic cup, there is still some degradation of the plastic tube over time from the heat. Now a ViVi CE2-style tank might be an option
