So I just pulled the wick from used protank head and replaced it with cotton.vaping it on evod with the Mvp 2. 2.3 ohms @ 9 watts flavor is great.

I've only built with cotton and see no reason to switch at this point. Cheap material, great performance. Can't argue with that combo...
Cotton is the way to go and everyone on the threads will lead you the right way, lol @boiler nice pic
I'm using cotton as well. Biggest challenge is to get it setup w/o any cotton undertones. I vape unflavored and don't like any nuance undertones sneaking in my vapor. I have 6 cotton RBAs setup now; 5 are clean and one has that cotton taste.
As long as you remember: DON'T DRY-BURN COTTON!!
You're golden!!
My spool of Peaches 'N Cream yarn....and sterile cotton from CVS....should last me several lifetimes!!

Or least not with the wick in place!
I burn the gunk of my coils every time I rewick.
Cotton does have a 'burn in' period. I use CVS rolled cotton (about 6 bucks for 4oz, enough for a trainload of wicks) and it takes a half dozen or so draws to get it not tasting like cotton. After that, terrific performance and ease of maintenance. Good luck and have fun!
I fell in love with cotton a few months ago. Besides the ability to dry burn silica, I see absolutely no benefit of it anymore.
Cotton wick is cheap as heck and accessible anywhere, easy to re-wick and doesn't have a bad aftertaste. It also saves tons of Kanthal since you don't have to re-wrap your coil.
I also feel safer with it than silica.

Cotton balls are my current favorite. My Kroger cotton ball fibers are far superior to my CVS rolled cotton fibers.
Have yet to try cotton undies

I've been using cotton medical gauze, it's sterile, designed not to fray and is made for quick wicking (oozy wounds and such). Great stuff you can roll it into threads then braid it. Only just replaced my wick in my rda after a good month of heavy use.
Wonder why cotton has a burn in period?
Maybe clean coil surface is too hot and needs an oxidation film buildup to cool it a bit?
Maybe some stray dry loose fibers burning off?
The one RBA that was giving me a cotton burn taste is now clean tasting after going through 2 ml juice.
Now 6 out of 6 RBAs have clean taste w/ cotton ball wicks.
If burn taste doesn't go away I pull the wick. I've noticed wick has browned. Perhaps wick was to loose or tight.
I have yet to get sufficient wicking through 1/16" ID micro coil. I tried the cloud, but vape quality suffered due to distribution of vapor relative to air feed hole.
When I started vaping I thought cotton wicks? thats ......ed you can't even dry burn them. 5 months later every device I own has cotton wicks and micro coils and I'm lovin it.
They do tend to gunk up quicker with the micro coils but they're a breeze to change out. Pull old wick out dry-burn the coil put new wick in GTG.
