Cotton wick in Ithaka?

[genevieve]

Has anyone found a way to wick the Ithaka with a cotton wick? Although the flavor is superb with silica, I kinda miss my setups with cotton. If not, I still have my Klite for cotton wicks. But if there's a build out there for cotton on Ithaka, PLEASE let me know! K...thanks guys <3

I use sugar and cream cotton yarn. 20 minute boil, then 3-4 minutes in microwave.
Dual on X (wrapped around 2 yarns and a paperclip straightened out), two at each coil, each coil at about 1.5ohm. Taste is wonderful.

For more delicate flavors, raise each coil to 2+ohms or do single wick.

Err, can you run that by me one more time?

Is there any way to achieve that with regular organic cottons (ie cotton rolls/balls)?

Or do I have to buy some yarn to do this?

You can achieve that with organic cotton balls yes. It'll take more work as you need the room to make your coils. You would use a paper flip straightened out to stabilize it.

Or you could make micro coils and slide the cotton in by threading it.

You can also check out this thread on micro coils. There is some chatter that may help.

Kidneypuncher has some "square braid cotton" that I've used in an Ithaka. It works well, but I've only used it with a single coil.

...so far, at least, I just set it up this way for the first time a few days ago.

Most certainly doable with cotton balls.

Wrap the coils to your preferred diameter on something like a drill whatever.

Find the 'grain' of the cotton ball and unroll it into a long kinda strip, then peel off a long thin section and roll/work into the wick diameter you want and thread it through the coils, then build the ithaka.

K...gonna try it now. My Klite is now empty, so perfect time

Essentially what I'm doing is making a yarn type shape with the unrolled cotton ball. Shoulda thought of that, huh?

Thanks everyone for your input. Will let you know how it's vaping in a lil bit
