    "This response is not meant to offend anyone here and if I have offended you, I apologize in advance..." Thank you for the advice everyone! I really did not want to post in a 130+ page thread with some specific questions to what I was trying to do. So...I slid a mandel through my 3mm RxW...

    ReadyXWick - Round 2

    Hi guys, I'll be receiving 2 feet of 3mm RxW today and after wasting my combo pack, I wanted to get some advice. My current plan is to dual 5 wraps of 26G around a 7/64 mandrel, is this the best ID for 3mm RxW? I remember seeing that 7/64 is good and 1/18th is good for higher VG liquid. I am...

    READYxWICK for non cotton people

    1/16 ID is ideal for 2mm RxW. You can use 5/64 ID with heavy VG liquid. 7/64 ID is best for 3mm and 1/18th ID can be used with heavy VG liquid.

    READYxWICK for non cotton people

    My only remaining concern is what am I supposed to do with the black bits/coils gunkies? If I am literally just dry burning when the flavor seems off, wouldn't I want to rinse the atty just to clean off the black bits etc? Or...will torching it inside my Odin take care of that?

    Got it! No more water, I'll just dry burn and maybe torch it while in my Odin.

    READYxWICK for non cotton people

    Guess I'll have re-learn how to dry burn something. I am just afraid that with using 3mm, I'll wick it, I'll dry burn it, it'll get black and flavor will be off. I then need to take it out and torch it and then if I take it out, it's going to fall apart on me and fray etc.

    Thanks everyone! I really prefer the larger diameter 3mm, so just to re-cap...I need to review the correct snipping angle and when I do dry burn it, I need to pulse for 1-2 seconds then blow and continue. Would rinsing the coils/atty/RxW in water after dry burning be a bad idea? I'd then have...

    READYxWICK for non cotton people

    How do you guys take care of this stuff? I've gone through my combo pack already. I had the 3mm RxW in dual 7/64 26G coils and it started to taste weird after a day. I rinsed it and dry burned the coil with the RxW still inside. One of my coils was glowing and the other was not at all, the RxW...

    Is Kanthal safe to vape with?

    Doesn't the bad stuff only happen at higher temps then we're using?

    ReadyxWick - Try it and don't look back

    If you haven't heard of it, go to rbasupplies.com and check it out. Comes in 2mm and 3mm sizes. The 2mm is best for 1/16th ID coils but 5/64th ID coils can be used if using high VG liquid. The 3mm is best for 7/64th ID coils but the 1/8th can be used if using high VG liquid. I've been using...

    Newbie & Proud of My Coil Build!

    Looks good! If you're going to use that much cotton, use 2 coils. :) I would add 2 wraps and go dual coil. The IGO-W is great for dual coils, stock air holes are not good. Get them to at least 1/16th.

    3mm slid right through some 6 wrap 26G 3/32 coils...didn't use too much this time and it's vaping perfect! :)

    READYxWICK for non cotton people

    Thanks everyone. I tried 24G around 1/8th bit and got the 3mm in. Got 28G around a 1/16th bit and got the 2mm in. I'll try a 3/32 ID for the 3mm, seems tough to get it into a micro coil though. The 3mm seems too beefy for my Odin and the 2mm seems too small. I did a 1/16th coil with 26G and it...
