Cheesecloth Wicking

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hey everybody! Name's Matt, been vaping for a little over 7 months now. So I recently switched from a Halo Triton system to an iTaste MVP with an EVOD Glass tank set up. After fixing a couple small issues (leaking), I'm freaking loving it.

So I just rewicked my first coil today with cheesecloth, and I am extremely happy with the outcome. No more funky silicone taste, and my Exodus 720 (which I highly recommend to everyone) from Seducejuice is vaping amazingly. My question is I know I can't dry burn cheesecloth, but is the material going to last as long as silicone? How many 2ml tanks can I get out of one set?

Thanks in advance!

That's silica Mr. wilson, not silicone. ;-)

Cotton cheesecloth will last no longer than any other form of cotton. How long it lasts is highly juice, resistance, coil design and power applied... dependent.
For example, using organic cotton, with light colored, slightly sweet juices, in a Kayfun, Taifun or Fogger type RTA, with a 1.0Ω resistance 9 wrap compressed coil, powered by an unregulated mech... I can go about 3 days - max.

And... welcome to ECF! Have fun, be safe.

The only cotton that lasted me more than a few days is the Peaches and Cream yarn from Walmart, which seems to last weeks.

Cheesecloth, cotton balls, etc I got about 5-7 (at 2-3ml a day) days from before they started to not wick that well, or taste charred. However I prefer to use it in some applications as it gives me a superior vape (such as my protank/evod heads), even better than the Peaches and Cream (which seems to be the best in my Aqua) So I guess depending on your juice/build maybe a week, and you may find you get better or different results with different types of cotton wick. I only dry burn when my coils are really nasty, a little gunk id just rewick and move on. Dry burning and rewicking should be done together as if you dry burn with a wick in, youll probably scorch it. So pull that wick, fire it a few times with no wick to cook off the gunk, rewick, and start anew
