I just got some Kanthal 32 in and can't wait to start trying some of this. I'm curious, how long does one of these cotton wicks usually last before it needs replacing?
And when it does need replacing, do you just take the old cotton out, dry burn the coil, and thread some new cotton inside it? Thanks! JD
Be careful to not make your cotton wick tails too long like you would with silica in say an Igo. I wanted a juice hog for a long day at work so I made it long and I'd get dry hits. So I popped the cap off of my igo and the fails were still fully saturated in a pool of juice yet the wick in the coil area was dry.
That was my problem exactly!
I thought I was doing myself a favor making the wicks slightly longer than the original Protank wicks. Wrong move! I cut them down to the edges like the originals, and they hit perfectly now, no burnt taste, like brand new! Thanks!
I used it in my protank for the first time last week and although taste is cleaner, I'm still getting that rubber/plasticy taste. I'm pretty new to the protank(I'm mostly a genny or dripper guy) but is there a solution to this?
