The gauze I have is medical and sterile. I've literally packed it into patients guts. So its cleaner than all the boiling water I can muster I imagine 
If its not sterile its probably wise to boil, can't hurt

In CE2s I felt like the thicker cotton gauze (braided) was wicking too much for my juices (all high VG); it was a constant gurgle if I remember correctly, like the coil was flooding but not leaking. Thiner seems to work better for me, but then again I'm using yarn as is. I think the best for me so far as been the michaels cotton yarn with one strand pulled out, which makes it three strands thick
Turn the pheonix upside down and make a E-2 out of it. LOL J Joking.
With all the attie mods I have dabbled with over the years. Feeding a coil from above has always been a problem like your having.
Trying to match the liquid flow to your vaping habits is almost impossible, To little or to much juice.
Now with the E-2. Wicking up the juice has always been a problem, until now with the cotton/ gauze.
I roll the wick just as big as I can fit in the slots of the cup and Iv'e run 30-40 mil through these puppies without one dry hit.
Cyrus......maybe try leaving 1/8inch or a little more wick exposed. It may swell up enough to slow or stop the flooding vs being trimmed flush.

I would recommend using fresh gauze
Just tried my first gauze braid. Tried to keep it loose but I think I braided it too tight. It's not working very well. We'll see what happens when it soaks for the night.
Certainly, I just found the post funny though. He said
And I immediately pictured some gauze I would not want to vape on.
Just realized today that I forgot when I wound this coil with a cotton wick. That is my personal test of a great wicking material - when I forgot how long it's been since I put it together Still vaping great, no funky taste, huge vapor etc etc.
Thank you Evil for bringing this to our attention.
The concept of using silica always bothered me because it made my damn finger tips itch. SS is great when it works but I could never reach the longevity I needed without snapping a coil. Cotton is perfect; doesn't burn when it's wet, neutral taste, lasts a long time and it gives me piece of mind because I don't have to furiously wash my hands after I handle it.
Now, hopefully people who make their way into the modders forum see this thread and give it a shot.

interesting, two strands of bamboo are just as problematic as one strand of bamboo and one strand of cotton
you are correct Dong, I need a touch more wick, but so far I've been ending up with too much or too little. I'll try leaving the leaky configurations a tad longer and see if that does it
I look forward to this tutorial on rebuilding

What if we found some kind of porous carbon material? Maybe some kind of carbon fiber mesh? I was looking into carbon and graphit felt that was heat resistant up to 2,000 degrees F, but I think there would still be dust particles...
I wish we could easily test these things, there are sites out there with promising looking materials but they are so expensive.
I'm sure porous carbon or graphite has been covered, though.. just seems like it'd be a suitable material?

Look here for more wicking info.

The reason I use ce2's is because I can't stand the taste the polyfill gives off even when completely soaked. I wonder if you could take the polyfill out of a cartomizer and pack some cotton or bamboo strips in there, anyone try that one yet?
Carbon gives some parasite taste, very cpecific. Active carbon tastes like a steam train. Already tested.
