More on Cotton wicks

[jocat54]

I am just curious if anyone else has the same experience with cotton wicks that I have.
Been rebuilding with microcoils for a while now and have tried using cotton balls and cotton yarn for my wicks. Started with cotton balls and they were great but being the lazy guy I am went to cotton yarn (Walmart) because it is easier for me to thread thru a coil and that works okay.

Today I thought I would do cotton balls again.....for me there is just no comparison between the two.... cotton balls wins hands down, more flavor and vapor. I have tried more cotton and less cotton, flavor wicks, more flavor wicks, no flavor wicks on both. The cotton balls just do better for me, anyone else?

Yep. I think the cotton yarn is too tightly wound so it wicks poorly compared to the cotton from a cotton ball.

on my drippers I just stick it undre the coil mine are too small to try to wick it thru the coil, most of my coils are raped on 18 ga needles

I'm rather frugal so I rewick all my Kanger Protank heads. I've been using organic cotton balls to roll little tine wicks for it.

I've found that it can be a little tricky at first, but it gets easier with time.

When I first started wicking my Kanger heads I was using way way too much cotton. As such it was a lot harder to tread through the coil than it needed to be. Now that I use less cotton it has become easier. Also putting a tiny little ejuice on the cotton helps lubricate the wick, making it easier as well.

May the Force be with you, always! =:3

I was hesitant about using cotton but now that I do I will never go back! I boiled a whole zip lock bag of cotton that will easily last me a year and I switch mine out every day. More if I use a lot of different flavors. I love that I don't have to wreck my whole build to do this!
