But I find this mini craft cutter quite handy indeed. Especially since with my small builds (8wrap 30ga Kanthal on 2mm) +/- a small amount of cotton makes a difference.
Ever wick a build absolutely perfectly to the point that the cotton wick requires no break-in whatsoever, airflow and fuel feed are perfect, and wish you could replicate the amount of cotton precisely each and every time? ... well here ya go.
Some of these craft cutters are better than others. Most don't cut cotton very well at all. I've found this Fiskars trimmer to work great. It is self-sharpening (many aren't) and has a close tolerance with the board, so I expect the results to be consistent and so far they are.
Yep, I'm spoiled LOL. Perfect wick every time with this cutter and cotton pads. device on the left is a Dicodes Dani Box Mini with leather sleeve and topped with a 24mm kayfun [lite] 2019. The device on the right is a ProVari Classic topped with a 22mm kayfun [lite] 2019. Both mouth pieces are from Molehill Mountain Art. African Blackwood on the Dicodes and Pink Ivorywood and Ebony on the ProVari.
