100% hemp fiber sliver organic question

[NorthwestV4l]

Has anyone tried this? I've gone through numerous threads and can't find any on just the use of fiber hemp, before it gets turned into twine and yarn. The ones I've come across are either rolled twine or yarn posts. Here's the link to the hemp fiber sliver.

Bump. I think this is a good topic and want to hear what the hemp veterans think about hemp fiber.

You mean using it as a wicking material? I would be very interested in this too. It's my understanding that most wick materials are made out of silica? I have also heard of using wool, but not tried it yet.

I'm rather new to the e-cigarette world, but learning fast and looking to make it as natural as possible. Mostly out of habit and for sport rather than health. =D

So, right. Hemp fiber wicking material. anyone?

It appears it is not twisted too tight. It may be a good wicking material and I havent yet read anything about it. Give it a try, and let us know how it goes. You might be on to something here. I use 100% cotton butcher sting. got it cheap off of ebay.

It's got me curious because of how loose it looks. Most of what I have read on problems with hemp had to do with wicking or flavor. It seems like this sliver of hemp might eliminate some of those issues.

Here's a good link for a video that shows the catalyzing process for hemp. If anyone has that earthy flavor that hemp sometimes produces try this and it should get rid of that and also improve the wicking depending on what you were using to start with.

This IMO works better than bleaching it. Why add unnecessary toxins if we're trying to improve upon what we already know?
