Wick it!

 

[M.Adhir]

I’ve tried a fair amount of wicking materials in the first few years of my vaping but haven’t tried many new ones in the last year or two.

I’m just happy with what’s working for me

Tobaccoes in the Reo/RM2 - cotton bacon V2 or Jap Cotton pads (Ko Gen doh)
I find the cotton brings out a bit more roundness and earthiness to the tobaccoes.

Rayon in the lower powered restricted lung atties with fruity menthols - eg Lemo1 and Subtank Mini
I find the Rayon gives more crispness with the fruity menthols at low power, I like the taste

For the moderate power restricted lung and fruity menthols (eg Skyline and Dvarw etc) I am using Royal Wicks. It’s a cotton of sorts and wicks nicely and has good taste for me. But am running out and it’s hard to find. So will probably go with Titanium fibre cotton.

In my Evod with a Berry Blaze and menthol it’s the stock coils with silica wicks because. I prefer the flavour to the cotton wicks. The flavour is a bit sharper and more sour, which I like.

For my vaping which is generally at lower power with stronger Nic juices I find the differences between various “good” wicks to be quite small. I could really use either wicking material but just prefer my choices for the various flavours I vape.

@Silver Royal Wick is now being stocked locally again. The Vape Den and Capital Vapes appear to be the first two retailers to be selling it now

Welcome to thee royal side
There's no turning back

I'm so glad about this. Was becoming a costly pain to self import every time

Hi tried to do a little of my own research on rayon wicking material. And found this post on another forum. Could the rash that the guy was experiencing be him having an allergic reaction or is this a common thing.

Not saying anything bad about this subject as I am yet to use it myself, I'm just curious and looking for input from more experienced people.

Edit change of plan. I will be testing the wicking material in an RDA. (Hadalay clone)

There's a massive difference in flavour.
It's unlike cotton , SS mesh and It's unlike the silica.
Seems to have a more natural taste ,somewhat woody and somewhat muted.
Juice is a DIY tobacco and I only get the tobacco after exhale,but will use it today to see if it changes.

What are these mysterious fibers.

Natural twine. A mix of plant fibres.

2minutes into vaping the flavour changed. I now get the menthol and tobacco on both the inhale and exhale. Maybe the flavour was muted initially because of the boiling. I'll rewick the zues next and see if I'm right.

What did you use for boiling? Try to avoid tap water.

I boiled it in distilled water.
But I think I might chemically strip it and then boil it afterwords.
Flavour is quite good.

What are you planning to use?

Butane seems the safest option. But if you have something else to suggest I'm all ears.

I don't know your working enviroment and condiitions, but stay safe. Also you can check this out:

This wick is still going strong. No funny tastes,amazing flavour and no dry hits this far.
This experiment looks promising.

Butane stripped.distilled boiled. Getting ready to wick the zues single

Testing with little juice to see how the zues handle wicking with the fibres.
I have the same woody taste most probably due to the wick still being wet from the boil but no dry hits yet. Some muted flavour but it didn't last long on the RDA the flavour came through fast enough.

This stuff works lekka in the RDA.
In the zues single its not bad,but not too good either. It's still in there.
In the zues dual it's a definite no. Had it in for a tank and a half and couldn't anymore. Not that it wicked slow, I think the wattage was to high. Didn't get dry hits the vape just wasn't nice.
