Show Us Your Working Wick And Coil Setup

[CraftyZA]

@RevnLucky7, Ever tried to do something with Kevlar?
I've got some kevlar at home from my poi days.
It is not sterile at present, but will boil in distilled water, and then rinse with vodka and dry.

 

[RevnLucky7]

Silica I couldn't score. I wicked too slow at 0.7ohms
The wicks dries out too fast and I get that burned flavor before I even finished my draw.
I'm still in the US so I'm not sure about the export thing.

Kevlar? Only when I come home late after getting pissed with the boys and need to explain it to my girl.

Never vaped it

Hahah,
Ok anyways, after some reading, kevlar is out...

Burning NOMEX® and KEVLAR® produce hazardous gases similar to those from wool.

"These are mostly carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and small amounts of hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, aldehydes, aliphatic hydrocarbons and other toxic gases depending on conditions of burning."

So lets not do that then...

i've also been reading here and there about people using sterile cotton string. i guess it's like comparing ss mesh to ss cable?

Very possible. When you say cotton string I'm assuming you mean this: http://www.kidneypuncher.com/cotton-square-braid-candle-wick-1-0/

I'm 99% positive that the fibers of cotton balls are filtering flavor particles. It just makes sense to me when I think about it logically. I just rebuild my cyclone with 3 strands of 3mm ekowool / 3 wraps of 28g ribbon metering out at 0.7 and after every toot I look down at this mod and think: Now that's a vape.

@RevnLucky7 which ecowool do you prefer . i am about to place an order but not sure if i should get the hollow or the one with treads inside ?

 

[RevnLucky7]

Get hollow ekowool. It wicks better IMO.
Just a note: if you want 2mm wide Ekowool, order 1mm. Same goes for 3mm ekowool - order 2mm
Ekowool is wider in comparison to normal Silica. So if you were using 2mm Silica, get 1mm Ekowool.

For Kayfuns and similar atties I recommend 1mm/2mm Ekowool. On drippers I recommend using 2mm/3mm
3mm works best for me, but I'd like to try 4mm. It fills a drippers deck up nicely. Not sure where you're ordering from but I get most of my stuff from here: Lightningvapes.com

Never really compared pricing, but it's convenient.

Also, some places are stocking Ekowool now with a cotton wick core. This might be worth looking into. The taste of ekowool with the wicking capabilities of cotton would be a dream come true for me at this point. Not sure if it would affect the taste. I'm back on Ekowool alone now and my juices taste great again after messing around with cotton builds. I forgot what they tasted like.

On a side note, I can't boil my ekowool since I'm on a ship, but I'm sure it's going to taste even better once I do.

Thanks RL, that helped me too. For importing to SA can recommend www.zivipf.de. Just click on the English flag for that language. Have used them twice, good service and reasonable shipping.

Thanks man !

@RevnLucky7 you still in the states? For how long? Whats the chance of grabbing 10 or 20m ekowool while you are there? Should be easy to flog it around here.

I actually thought about it yesterday, but no chance as it won't make my mailing address in time for me to pick up before I leave. I have 5 days before I fly out. Just not enough time.

someone going overseas must get us some ecowool, then take it out of its packet and stick it in their luggage. if customs ask just tell them you're into bondage
