Do you find one is easier to use than the other?

It's much easier to thread through a micro coil, because I just pull off 2 strands and thread them through. With cotton balls it's never as easy to get the exact same amount.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.. Just ordered 100 feet of 30g kanthal off of eBay, so in between that, 300 cotton balls and whatever yarn I pick up, I should be set for a very long time.. lol..

You'll never be set....haha! Chop, Cut, Re-wick seems the adequate set of words for this. Or maybe it's just me.

I just got some of the P&C from Wally World and am going to try it out when I get another RBA, or when my Dripper needs a rebuild. Which will probably be within the next 24 hours given my obsessive habit of building coils lately.

I was using cotton balls before, once I got my yarn I found I was more willing to rewick/wrap heads because I found the wicking process easier. Ymmv

I was doing some experimenting with P&C cotton yarn a while back, because I wanted to be able to pull a doubled piece of yarn through a micro coil for my GP Spheroid. A coil wrapped around a 5/64 drill bit was too tight. 3/32 was too loose. I needed something in between for my coil. I found that a #44 drill bit, which is .086" diameter (2.18mm) was prefect. It pulls through with just the right amount of friction. I wrap the coil on the #44 bit, bend a piece of kanthal into a V, double a piece of yarn into the V, and pull it through.
I have several attys set up this way, including a couple Kayfuns, Squapes, Taifun GTs, and an Omega dripper with dual coils, in addition to the Spheroid.
