    *Steeping Methods* Instant/Long Term

    Just mixed up a larger batch of double ry4 in a glass cigar tube I had, clear when freshly mixed. I only added several drops of already 4 week steeped ry4 to a 40ml batch and today it's already turned yellow.

    Different Cottons for different wicks

    Cut the cotton round in a spiral, along the dotted line in the pic. After cut roll it tightly like normal and you have a nice straight long as you want wick.

    Different Cottons for different wicks

    Oh and if you guys want to make really long wicks you can cut the rounds in a spiral. After you roll it into a wick everythng comes out nice and straight. Also don't be afraid to roll the wick nice and tight, it will expand. Just make sure you let it soak for at least a half hour (longer is...

    Different Cottons for different wicks

    Nice to see you guys experimenting with the cotton rounds. I have been using them exclusively for quite awhile now especially for my vivi novas. What I really like is how repeatable and perfectly consistent they have been. Four wraps on my medium gauge sewing needle, perfect 1.8ohm coil...

    *Steeping Methods* Instant/Long Term

    Seed steeping seems to be a top method that I should mention in this thought forgotten thread lol. Seed Steeping: Taking a small amount of juice (10%) from a recipe already properly steeped for a few weeks and mixing it into a fresh recipe mix. It seems to speed up the process turning the color...

    Different Cottons for different wicks

    I bored the wick hole and fill screw hole each to 3mm so it's big enough for cotton and my ss mesh seems to like a little extra room as well.

    Different Cottons for different wicks

    It is a fog machine lol. I don't use it all of the time, every rebuild I alternate from ss mesh to the spin-e just to change things up.

    Different Cottons for different wicks

    I have found that coil wraps being close together no matter the wick type performs better. I actually wrap the coil wraps side by side touching, it's a phenomena it doesn't short I delved into on other threads before. Glad you're enjoying your did clone, there are alot of things you can do with...

    Different Cottons for different wicks

    Here is a pic of my setup I was referring to. I go back and forth between the ss mesh and cotton in my did clone. I guess I am one of the people with a sensitive palette because I do think cotton brings out flavors a lot better personally. I use 33 awg kanthal, I have used 30 and thicker gauge...

    Different Cottons for different wicks

    It is the did clone, same as yours. SS mesh is thee absolute most finicky wick I've used, took me about a month to learn what gauge I prefer and how to make it taste decent. I get best results by oxidizing the wick AND the coil. One method is to mount the coil and juice burn or slide a piece of...

    Different Cottons for different wicks

    JD1 this is the spin-E coil invented by Mister-E, it's one of the best setups for vapor production and flavor I have tried in my DID. It is modified with the wick hole bored to about 3mm and the fill skrew hole bored the same. Basically the wick goes down one wick hole wraps around the positive...

    Different Cottons for different wicks

    I do recommend 2 things I think are important for anyone rebuilding with cotton. One is boiling the cotton None of the cottons we buy were made with vaping in mind so will have residual chemicals from the bleaching process and others that make the material more pliant. I have tried vaping...

    Different Cottons for different wicks

    Unfortunately we all will inhale burnt cotton before we learn, it looked wet right lol. Seriously though cheese cloth takes even longer to soak, about 2 hours. The cotton wools take less time because they're more absorbent, can vape after soaking a half hour to an hour. After trying just about...

    Wizard Labs- Your Favorite Flavors

    Had a 10ml bottle of double Ry4 in my steeping drawer for the past month as Graff recommended and the flavor has changed completely, tastes more like a carmel like tobacco very robust. Also had my 60ml bath of cigar heaven juice steeping for a month as well, and it tastes so good. Tastes like a...

    Different Cottons for different wicks

    Glad to see you guys trying the cotton rounds. Here is what i do... 1. I always boil the cotton in water to make sure it's clean (boiling several is enough to last a long time). Squeeze water out pressing flat so they dont lose their shape and let dry over night spread out over a plate. 2...

    Vivi Nova Rebuild tutorial

    Yeah it's really the main mistake I think everyone goes through and one of the most important ones to learn. What type of cotton are you using?

    Different Cottons for different wicks

    You're definitely right on certain juices gunking up wicks and coils faster. I change my wicks about 1-2 times a week depending on the juice, gunkier juices seem to make my wicks last about 4 days and cleaner juices once a week. What i like about my rounds is they're more compressed than other...

    Vivi Nova Rebuild tutorial

    One of the most important things I learned was let the cotton soak in juice in the tank for awhile before running any electricity through it. My first day at trying to rebuild with cotton I would wrap a coil around the wick and as soon as I put juice on the wick and in the tank i would try and...
