thought I may post this for you, or general info :
Twill weave mesh
(more commonly used by vapers. results in a heavier "feel" to the wick, when rolled):
400# mesh from VapeMesh Company - two sheets of this size (£2.25 ea) is just a penny more, but gives you more, than one sheet of the A4 size (£4.50). This is better suited for the
more viscous ejuices (like your 30/70, or 50/50,etc)

plain weave mesh
(pricier):
400# mesh from VapeMesh Company - two sheets of this size is cheaper (£3.25 ea), and you get more, than one sheet (£6.99) of the A4 size. This is better suited for the
more viscous ejuices (like your 30/70, or 50/50,etc)
400# mesh (uses thicker wire) from VapeMesh Company - one sheet of this A4 size is cheaper (£4.99) , and price is comparable to two sheets of the next size down (£2.79 ea).
(i.e. priced correctly. ha ). This is better suited for the
more viscous ejuices (like your 30/70, or 50/50,etc).
---> I'm unsure whether finer or thicker wire used to make the mesh itself is better for thicker juices.
(I suspect thinner wire to be better, all-round.... :?)
(possibly not useful for you, as you use vg-heavy ejuices, but included anyway):500# mesh from VapeMesh Company - two sheets of this size is cheaper (£3.25 ea), and you get more, than one sheet (£6.99) of the A4 size. This is better suited for
thinner ejuices (70/30 or 80/20).
I use this in my kraken, kayfuns, and odd dripper.
(it's often months before I change mesh wicks - 4 months for an often-used kayfun lite I'm vaping right now ... :/ )

japanese cotton:
japanese cotton from VapeMesh Company. (99p for pack of ten sheets) I haven't tried this, as I am averse to using cotton much now. I'm also unsure whether this is
Koh Gen Do cotton or
Muji cotton. Either way, scuttlebutt has that it's quite good...

Rayon:
cellucotton prices vary - under £4 should keep you stocked for a year,or two.
(look for 100% rayon. there are various sku numbers. some use "reinforcement"(cotton?) - which can be removed, some are 100% cotton - which isn't what you want, unless you WANT overpriced cotton, I suppose ... xD )
Tencel Tops. This is the Rayon which I use in drippers and one kayfun. A wick lasts me about a month in a daily-use dripper - similar in the kayfun.
(yes, a month: scout's honour)Should work well in a kraken,too. £2.50 for 100g
(postage doubles that). 100g should last a year or two.
Scottish fibres also have bamboo fibre
(and other fibres) which I may even get round to testing
(some day)
