The smaller box of cellucotton, 100% rayon, 40', is 44130.

I went with the small box in 2016, then picked up the larger one at a local Sally's Beauty salon (cheaper than Amazon). It's large diameter, you just peel off and cut what you need for a given wick.

I use rayon. Cellucotton is what I use. You can get it at Sallys beauty Supply or Amazon. Id give you a link but I couldnt find one for Sallys and Amazon has an app blcking my ability to link sorry. What your looking for is the one that says 100% viscose not viscose/cotton blend.
This one ok?:

OR you can ask when you go to the salon. If you can see the box, and they use 100% rayon, I'm sure they will give you a piece. And a small piece makes a LOT of wicks! I'm going to try that next time I go.

A 4" piece makes 2 wicks for me but I waste a lot. Probably could get that down to more of a science.
Not all salons do perms and you cant be sure that they arent using the rayon/cotton mix type. I wouldnt try that.

I'll be wrapping my own coils until I'm too blind to do it. But by then I'll be too blind to install them. Then what will I do?

Find a young person and get them to set up all your RTA's once a week/month? That's my plan when I've run out of drop-in coils.

That's why I bought a couple of Zenith MTL tanks and a bunch of drop in coils, for that purpose. Watch for another good sale from ejuices.com. Kanger wholesale also has killer sales on coils frequently and their regular prices are usually good too for coils.

This is what the coils look like: Innokin Zenith Replacement Coil - 5PK
This is what the tank looks like: Innokin Zenith MTL Vape Tank

What is it?

Some things to keep in mind, the tube walls are thin to minimize weight. That requires threading is very fine so take great care to avoid cross threading. Avoid overtightening which can damage the leads on the board. The bottom is adjustable so you can back it off and tighten the battery after everything else is adjusted. I believe the max power allowed by the board is 40 watts. You have to understand ohm's law and know how to build coils to the correct resistance. The board should protect against excess power depending on the amp rating of the battery. If all this sounds too complicated best to avoid this type of mod.

Somewhat complicated. What is the correct resistance?

As I said earlier, if the issues I'm raising seem too complicated wait until you've learned more. You could store one of these tube mods and not try to use until you've learned the concepts. I'm not going to try to do that here.

For many the joyetech clr accepting tanks with the clr coil heads are excellent and there is a long thread on these . There are other good rebuildables as well . Few years back bought lifetime supply along with everything else needed to keep vapeing with no worries of running out of something for the Mrs and i.
This is not the first scare by the Gov and sooner or later something may or may not happen learn DIY in all aspects .

I shave my head, but I could ask my wife.. lol nah.. I'll probably just get a box for that price, it'll last me until I'm dead.

magnifying glass!

I actually use the 3x magnification reading glasses from Walmart to do my coils now.. I hit up a sale and think I spent 3 dollars.

But they actually have stand lit magnifying glass too..
