Reddit reviews PremiumCraft Square Braid Cotton Candle Wick - #1/0

I just started rebuilding my vivi nova heads.

The wire I use is Kanthal A1 32 guage, and I buy it from this guy on ebay for $12.99 / 100ft. Free shipping:

I've finally found what seems to be the PERFECT wick. Cotton square braid candle wick (#1/0). I got 10 yards for $7.99:

Be sure to boil the wick for 15 minutes and then let it dry completely.

I followed this tutorial and it is REALLY easy:

The head I'm using now is 2.1ohm and is miles above the stock heads. The taste...OMG THE TASTE!

In the Rockin' Robbie video, he uses #1/0 candle wick. I'd say if you do a search for that specific size, you'll get better results. Of course, make sure it's lead-free, 100% undyed cotton.

Edit: Like this (was first result I got. You may find a better one.)

To add to what others stated

Http://www.themeshcompany.com (they have SS mesh and also silica wick now)

LorAnns, Hobby Lobby, and even some.Wal-Mart's sell organic "wick"(hemp, bamboo, cotton you want unbleached and 100% of whatever material, no nylon or polyester)

Also make sure to boil any organic wick for 15 minutes and never dry burn it. Oxidize any.mesh. if you use SS rope, add a layer of Oxidized mesh where the coil is or use some xc-116 ceramic sleeving(sng_vapor or bigtexvapor sells)

When I rebuilt my protank head, I used cotton as well. I placed another wick on top of the coil and I haven't had any issues with gurgling/flooding.
