I kind of found out how it works. quiver has width and linewidth.
width takes a scalar, linewidth can take a vector. 
width sets the width of the shaft, linewidth sets the width of the edge...

How it works precisely I do not know yet, but this works for me:

plt.quiver(x_vector,y_vector,u_vector,v_vector,
   linewidth=w_vector, width=0.001, headwidth=3,
   color=mycolor, edgecolors=mycolor)
