Wicking besides Cotton?

[stevegmu]

Alpaca fiber. It has no taste, wicks like a champ, is hypoallergenic, easy to work with and has a very high burning point...

Does it smoke like crazy and catch on fire too? Maybe I was doing something wrong

I try to perform my "ritual" with a nearly depleted battery, around 3.8 or 3.9 volts, and have not noticed fire but it does smoke a good deal.

I use a REO, so a mechanical mod exclusively these days. On a regulated, I would lower the wattage or voltage. I'll bet that a new battery or high power would flame.

What is that? This?

 

[stevegmu]

Yes. The spun fiber makes for the best wicks...

No kidding.. it must be $$$! I'm gonna get me a couple and stick them in the backyard then..

I'll just stick with braided silica.

i've been trying to farm alpacas since steve first mentioned the fibers.

if i could only get these seeds to sprout, i think i could manage.

Beware the yield is poor, only the pubic hair is any good.

Been using Elfwick (degummed hemp) lately in my rta. Seems to work fine and easy to work with. Also tried the Japanese OCC which also works great.
