I can't believe you guys using that "bamboo" yarn. It has a lot of syntetics just like any "bamboo"..
Does the above linked Ceramic Wick offer something fundamentally different than Silica?
This stuff, I'm guessing:

Sounds pretty different to me: "Continuous polycrystalline metal oxide fibers"

You just can't beat the ease of re-wicking with the cotton batten. With the strands I have to pull it through with a piece of wire and it messes up my pretty coil.
my bamboo has anabolikz!
Tark I hear you. My concern with the viscose isn't the cellulose, that actually makes me think its incredibly safe. Its the sulfur moiety hanging out on the molecule. The eternal question, can it react with something in our juice/heat in order to cause a problem?
Pay no mind to natural vs. synthetic, I know loads of poisons on both sides of the fence

So for the past few days, I have been rockin a Cheese Cloth Vivi Nova - Carto Style.
From what I can recall about Boges, this setup is miles ahead...luv my cotton.
(no disrespect to my Aunt though, she treats me right too)

I thought doubling the legs prevented the burning of the rubber grommet? I havent re-coiled mine yet - but that is what I was going to try instead of the NR wire. Does that not work?
On this CE2 the coil is no longer a coil - this is the first one I pulled the silica wick out of - and was not very patient - so the coil is all messed up. BTW - correction - used Peaches n Cream 100% cotton not bamboo - will try that next. Vaped all day - worked great to the last few drops......time to rewick and try another juice....
Doubling the legs with 28g makes a very thick leg that tends to destroy the grommet, so instead I have been wrapping the legs with bamboo thread to keep them wet and cool, the grommets are lasting me about three recoils.
To de-wick a CE2, cut the silica close to one side of the ceramic cup. Then pull one strand out from the other side, repeat with another strand until you can easily pull the whole wick out. Rinse the coil well under running water to remove the silica shards. Easy peasy
If the coil does get messed up a little, take a small nail or a toothpick and run it through the coils to straighten them out.

That's what I do and never had any scorching of the grommet but did with single legs. It's too much work IMO for a NR wire that short!!
EDiT: I use 32awg kanthal and grommets have lasted 6 rewick/coils

Ok, came across this thread last night and have read almost every post and what a eye opener!!! been vaping 2 years and modding the last year. about 3 months back i decided to get into rebuilding and am having a blast, long story short I have now switched to Cotton and couldn't be happier. Thank you to everyone who has experimented and posted. ps: I'm using Vivi Nove 2.5 with surgical gauze at 1.8 on a silver bullet "3.7 V" and loving it!
