Any sales for PG, VG going on currently? I missed ecx's yesterday. :(
PG usp is always available if you have a local tractor supply store, around $20/gallon; I've been using it for 9 years with no complaints. VG usp I get off Amazon, about the same price; last couple of orders I've picked up the Nature's Oil USP Vegetable Glycerine, again no complaints.

(Don't sweat the "Oil" - it's just the brand name)

That's why many of us stocked up on a drop in coil tank and stocked coils too. I also have plenty of cartos and carto tanks too :)
I Have Kabuki's for Nautilus coils, T18 and coils, Zenith and coils, these are for my can't build years :)

I'm looking at Bulk Apothecary for PG, VG, they sell by the #. What is a gallon equal to in #'s?
About 10 lbs for (VG is denser than water), 8 lbs for PG (PG is about the same density as water).

The Nature's Oil brand/company is under the same company umbrella as Bulk Apothecary, which is why they sell Nature's Oil PG & VG.

I have a titanium Kabuki and titanium P3 because I wanted lighter for my up in age years for drop in coils :)
My problem with drop in coils is that I have never had them last more than a few days. Mind you I chain vape and I havent tried a lot of tanks but that is my experience.

I have a Zenith coil going on it's second week, so am pretty impressed with those coils.

Maybe if I had a hobby other than chain vaping all day long my coils would last longer. You think?

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 cut the rayon in pieces 1 1/2" long then split them in two lengthwise. I could get 3 wicks out of each piece if I could divide them into 3 exactly equal parts but that's hard to do. And the stuff is so cheap anyway.

I don't think I could get away with the salon trick, not too well endowed in the hair department. Guess I could go in for a head polishing.

How the heck do you roll something so tiny?

It would be easier to answer with pictures. But I run them through my fingers pulling strands off to get down to the thickness I want, then twist one end to a point that I can stick through the coil. Sometimes it took 3 or 4 tries to get it right but I've done it so many times now that it's a doddle.

I roll it on my leg with two hands.
