All this talk about cleaning coils reminded me of my coils. I knew one needed a good cleaning, but the rest of them I wasn't sure. Turned out only one needed it, but I did the rest anyway. As what else am I going to do on a Sunday morning? :lol:

Anybody ever hear of tube wicking? Yeah me either and made that name up after I did it. But I was trimming some cotton and I thought this would be easy as flat as is. Wonder how that would vape? Taking a flat piece of cotton and thrown through a coil which forms it into a tube. Cool.

I didn't even juice it, just letting the squonker wet the whole thing. The coil is mounted high, like 10mm from the well. So the juice has to travel up pretty far. Had taken no more than 10 seconds for everything to get wet. Well that is a good sign. :)

So how does it vape? Well flavor is about average, vapor a bit less. Nothing really exciting going on here. :nah:

The only tube wicking I did was on gennies. Split a straw down the side, pack it up with Ekowool, compress till it fits through the coil and pull the straw out leaving the Ekowool behind. Nicer than having to torch the end of the Ekowool white hot so it gets stiff enough to thread through a coil.

There was a little something shiny on the floor at work so I picked it up.

Oh ..one of those magnetic adapters.
I was going to ask what it is but it "just came to me"....LOL
Plug it into the PC and reboot to see if it's a key logger in disguise. :D

Yeah because of those gennies is probably why I thought of tube wicking in the first place. ;)

No, bit there is a "Scottish Roll" method.
Yeah, I actually thought about doing a Scottish Roll at that point (why do I want to call it a Swedish Roll? :lol:). But people talk about it, but few people actually does it. I figure if that was really any good, most of us would be using it by now. :)

I still have a bunch of cheese cloth and Peachs and Cream yarn to try out yet.....from way back.

I remember all the wicks, I used to try! Even tried Hemp rope once :D
Still keep going back to Ko Gen Do sheets :)
I often wonder if there is a better cotton? I see lots, cotton bacon etc...ect...
Never bothered trying any of them. If some thing isn't Broke! Don't fix it :D

There is MUCH better than KGD, Muji, Labo or any other "boutique" cotton, it's called Rayon. :thumbs:

Tried several rayon and hemp fiber sent to me from members but KGD is still my goto.
Me to :)
I tried rayon, tried to like it! I have a long list of wicking materials I tried & didn't like as muck as KGD, is my favourite
