Looks not far off from Mine but a bit more thin? Could be mine had more time to fluff Out. It's packed in the little bag pretty tightly.

It does look like cotton bacon v2 even with the fibers. Maybe they changed packaging or have a different packaging for Asia. Europe. Etc

I received it today and the packet was squashed. When I opened it I found it hard to put back as it started to puff up.

Like everything else, everyone has different tastes and opinions.

In other forums people have said they really like cotton bacon and others say they hate it.
I was reading up on Muji cotton and when I looked through other forums some say they like it and others have said they hate it.

We all have different tastes and that is why I want to try different wicking materials to see which ones I like.
That's the best way to go! I've gone through a fair bit and I'll probably buy some fiber freaks. The issue with that is I can't find it to purchase where there isn't a ridiculous shipping fee. Stick it in an envelope and mail it to me for a quarter. $5 shopping for wick. Hah!

Let's talk about coils for a minute

I've recently started going back
To the good old fashioned micro coil. Far too
Many people refer to
Coils as Micro coils despite the coils in questions size. I've switched to proper micro coils lately and I had forgotten how good they taste. Barely large than a toothpick. Can hold almost no cotton but they're chucking. Clouds and flavor is amazing. I'm not sure when or why j started making 2.5mm coils as my default but 1.5mm seems to be more flavorful and create more vapor - albeit with slightly more power.

Also a few of my tanks I started wicking with mesh. It's a bit of a pain to build or rather a bit more time consuming. In using #500 or #400 I think with 90% vg. Can anyone tell
Me The relationship between weight and vg percentage? Is it higher the vg the lower weight? Or higher vg higher weight? The mesh k bough was somewhat expensive for what it is. But I did get s large sheet of it ($10)

The flavor seems perfect with mesh. Not too many tanks seem to work well with it due to the need For a relatively straight wick. The gem works pretty well

Do any of you use mesh now? And what about proper micro coils? If you haven't made one in ages give a 1.5 mm 10 wrap coil a shot. I really had forgotten how good the old Kayfun with that build was.

Yes. Once opened jt barely fits. Unusually extract one strip at a time to keep in my kbag

Speaking of kbag

This is a kbag. I was using grid it for organizing previously. They're a bit less expensive. Can be hung on walls and fit in multiple drawers as there are various sizes.

Here's the largest grid it. There's a full size zip pocket on the back but it doesn't hold as much as he kbag. The elastic is better on the grid it and there are small medium and large sizes. Overall the grid it is a better item For organizing. I'll probably relegate the kbag to juice holding as its more uniform

I have to say the grid it system is much more convenient. Look at the loop on the right. That's to hang it.

Be ware of fake grid it stuff. The stitching comes apart on fakes. I unknowingly bought a fake of the smaller size on Amazon (refunded) and it didn't last long. If there's a branding label inside he rear pocket it is authentic. If there's no label it's a fake

The kbag will probably be good for small bottles of juice by for fear I'd recommend the grid it

Oh by the way I also bought he beadalon wire spool tamer. I was really tired of spools coming undone. They're great! Maybe you can split a big bag with others here. The small
Packs are half the price of The big Packs and you only get like three

Have a look

Elastic adjust to any size. Fits most spools and wires.

3 for £3.11 free P&P or 25 for £29.97 + £2.15 P&P - think the 3 price is a better option over here

I've actually got a question for Bob.I know you've got a six ml Bob,do you have a 3.
If so does it make any difference to the flavour.
I know getting rid of the anti spit d/t's helped.
My 3ml never materialised from FT along with the Crius, I have reported it as lost in post just waiting for them to refund/replace which won't be until March, I only have a 6ml RTDA and a 6ml OCC, in the former I have a single vertical NiFe30 build, which is just great at 450F/60w

Depends George, maybe something new for me to try, or a Crown. Are you after just the one or both ?

No i'd only want the one Terry.I don't need 5 of the buggers(already have 3).
I've only got one crown and i was planning on keeping that.
Got a SS UD Bellus.Which i don't know if you would want.To be honest i found the draw a little tight.

I do prefer a tightish draw George, so maybe we can arrange a straight swap. Just let me watch some vids RE the bellus, and we`ll have a chat tomorrow...getting a tad late now Lol.

Maybe. I needed something like 8-10of them and here the prices were 3/$4.50 25/$15 both free shipping with prime . Figured j would give some away to some friends and keep 15 for myself. So effectively it was ten free. That's why I mentioned if there were a few of you to go in on one big pack - since you can mail them locally for s few pennies . Everyone send one person a few pounds or If you do the meet up. Or the money bags among you could just buy the 25 pack and hand some Out.

Either way they're bloody useful and work
Well
