I have been using cotton (peaches and cream from wal-mart) to replace the flavor wicks in my t3s for a while now and have loved it. But I have recently started recoiling them and when I put cotton in for the main wick, it just sucks 
I was wanting to get away from silica and use just cotton but I can't seem to figure it out. I have tried dividing the yarn into individual strands because I though MAYBE I was getting too much in there (it wasn't a tight fit at all with the whole piece of yarn, I could easily pull a full strand through but I tried it anyway) and got the same burny yuckiness. I open the things back up and they're fully saturated and look good, just taste like crap. They start out tasting good, then it just goes downhill from there. If I use the same coil and rewick with silica inside and with cotton on top for the flavor wick, viola, all better. I have even tried not using a flavor wick at all, same taste. No matter the build with cotton as the main wick, yuckiness after maybe 20 hits.
I just don't understand what the difference would be. I've been using this same ball of yarn for flavor wicks since I started using my t3s. I would think that the flavor wicks would get just as hot as the main wick, at least on the side that is touching the coil. I'm just perplexed. Thanks in advance for any insight.
