Black dots on cotton

[vapdivrr]

I remember Russ (superxdrifter) would pick out the black seeds before wicking
Where is that guy these days?

Last I talked to him, he was happily enjoying his big apple squonkers mods. I think you get to a point where perhaps your satisfied and no longer looking for the next big thing, so maybe that's why he's not been doing vids

Could be the cotton or perhaps it's from that gnarly coil....when I zoom in , it looks like that coil is kind of well done, like flakey. Maybe some crud is coming off of the coil? Put a new coil in and see if it's still going on, at least you can eliminate that if it's still happening...

I have tried building new coils and also cleaning the tanks to see if its because they are dirty but nope it still happens maybe its just the eliquid and the sugar it has, its pretty sweet, and I usually chain vape a lot.

Anyways this thread got kinda crazy, thanks everyone I guess.

Those are tiny little bug parts since it's organic.

You mean like this:
No wonder the juice tastes off...

The black specks on the wick doesn't really concern me all that much, I'm more interested in the one's that are missing.

Then probably nothing to worry about

Upon further examination, it seems to me that your coil has a bit of buildup on it, and when you drip liquid on it, some of that buildup flakes off and ends up on the cotton. To confirm the presence of buildup, pull the atty apart and look under the bell housing, or under the top cap. Buildup comes from certain juices that are either NET (Naturally extracted tobaccos) or have a high sweetener content in them. Usually the latter of the two. If it's too bad, your vape will start having a burnt or "off taste" to it. Can be remedied by pulling the wick, completely burning off all the "gunk" or "buildup", and rewicking. Try a different juice if the problem persists.

As for the organic cotton - it will have dark spots in it naturally. Could be parts of the cotton hull, seeds, etc. To switch to Rayon though... is to allow greater freedom in wicking. I love me some cellucotton! Best...wick...ever...hands down. Juice to juice switching without rewicking, cleanest flavors to date, and a lot more friendly when buying in bulk. Get a HUGE box of it for like... 25-30 bucks. A box lasts awhile too.

CelluCotton Beauty Coil 3lbs. - $17 for 3lbs of the stuff. I bought a 5lb box once.
