So it doesn't contain glass fibre?

you can use pure cotton wick ......http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Braided-C...oapMaking_EH&hash=item4160c22052#ht_506wt_698

/\ However, you cannot dry burn pure cotton wick, or it sets on fire...

How would you test your coils on a fresh rebuild to make sure that they were all glowing evenly?

Personally, I have no idea!
I guess you suck it and see?
I don't touch the stuff for the main reason of "I like what I know"

you have to soak it ....there no much can go wrong with the coil on silica/cotton ...the hotspots only happen on ss wicks

They are all technically classed as glass fibre, alumino-borosilicate, alkali-lime glass, alumino-lime silicate, alkali-lime glass with boron oxide, borosilicate are all common trpes of glass fibres.
