    Dripper with cotton= A Rebuildable Dripper Atomizer, built using either 100% cotton Yarn or 100% Organic Cotton Ball as the wick. Often the coil is a micro-coil style build, but doesn't have to be.

    Really though, that is just one way of doing it.


    Do you have any rebuildable atomizers? If not, you can pick up the Igo-L for about 11 bucks, grab some Kanthal wire and Silica, find some organic cotton if you wish, and you're all set.

    Decent deal on a igo-w dripper stateside (no drip tip), with the properly drilled out binder posts. (makes building much easier) Shipping should be 1.99 and they'll have it to ya pretty quick.

    Genuine Youde IGO-W - 101 Vape

    Or if you're not in hurry you can grab the Igo-l or igo-w clones from FT (have both, well worth the money, but no drilled posts)

    Great I'll have to look into this thanks!

    How bout the Kanger ProTank? Would it work well in there for when I'm out of the house and can't really drip?

    It will work nicely, but you'll still run into the issue of the coils becoming severely gunked up after 1-2 tanks, unfortunately. So you'll be doing alot of dry-burning, or you can just re-wick the protank with cotton and replace the wick every tank or so. (what i did when still using PT's regularly)

    I've been running Boba's as one of three primary vapes for three months. There is no one device for Boba's IMHO with cotton unless you get the wick density precisely right. Say you find the exact uniform consistent premade cotton yarn or wick to match the viscosity and temperature applied. And you're going to do that across various and changing RBA's. I drip can't do that on any dripper I've tried (Trident/Immortalizer/Forge/Optimus) with tight standard through contact coil (micro builds), except...The only atomizer that's given me a miraculously consistent vape with Boba's no fuss is the unassuming mis-appreciated Vision Eternity. Maybe it's that innocuous pointedly stupid looking center wick lot's of folks pull out. Fact is it keeps that irrational little coil-y thingy wet all the time even when it should have burned through all the way back to China. That's not saying RDA's aren't a good or even the best shot. They're a shot if you can get that mix right. And that's difficult with a hand rolled wick. Certainly not reliable enough to claim consistency for more than two days. Boba's fouls anything in two days particularly if you vape it hard. And I do!

    So Jman fer reals if you know how to roll that sweet, du the video. Boba's is my absolute fav. Mainly why I've been able to do this. I'm real interested where this is going so dialing' in for the experience if you gots the one up.

    No seriously J. Closest thing I've seen to that kind of reproduceable consistency was the guy with the 36 strands of carefully measured aligned threads of cheese cloth. Him I buy. But I agree, awesome with cotton when it's right.

    Good luck!

    :)

    Seems like a lot of trouble!

    How bout a 306 atomizer? Those still in vogue? :)

    In my book they are. :thumb: Also great in a dripping RDA as others have mentioned, but maybe you could try it in an Aspire dual coil clearomizer. I just got one and it's working quite nicely, though I haven't tried it with Boba's yet.
