Cotton wicks

[eddiezheadiez]

Does anybody know if I can use cotton wick and low resistance in combination or do I need to use silica for that?

Good question and hope we get a answer, using the cotton Butchers Twine would be easier for me rather than SS and I'm not personally
a fan of silica.

I'm not a fan of ss or silica. I'm waiting on some hemp twine and some 30 gauge kanthal to try on my igo-l. I should get it tomorrow. I definitely want to try cotton though. I just want to know how well it stands up to heat. I got the hemp because I heard its very heat resistant, and I want to try out low res coils.

Keep us posted on how the hemp works out. I'm thinking of trying bamboo and hemp both, but I've read some bad reviews on both, as well as good ones.

I'm using twisted 32 ga. kanthal for a 1.7 ohm coil in my drunker. It's working great on my bolt. (Cotton wick of course.)

Don't trust the web site. My store also showed it in stock, but, when I went there they didn't. Cost me another couple of days till they found it at another location.

Yep, I'm in luck with mine when I called they said keep extra stock for a client down the street.

Yes you can I am running a 1ohm coil on an Era with 100% cotton food grade Butchers twine. Biggest thing is to give your wick plenty of time on the initial soak it takes a bit of time.
