Cotton wick for rebuildables

[dee93]

So i just bought some cotton wicking material from walmart. I made sure it was 100% cotton as well, but i am pretty sure i have to do something to it before i can actually set up a coil on it and start vaping it, can anyone please tell me what i am supposed to do to it or if i am even am supposed to do something to it or can i just set up a coil on it and vape it. Thank You!

You will want to cut off a long strand and boil it for 15 - 30 minutes, then pour the water out while leaving the cotton strand in the pan. Add some more water to the pan and pour it out again then fill it up and boil again, repeat. You don't want to take the strand out of the dirty water because some of the crud with adhere to the strand. That's about it. Once it's dry it's ready to go but remember that you can't dry burn cotton. It burns easily.

The reason for the long strand is...if you bought a ball of cotton and boiled the whole ball you would never get it untangled.

I've set up a "Cotton Wick Wiki" that gives some info on cleaning these types of materials for use as a wick. It also lists some other materials other than cotton that have been used for wicks.
