found possible nr wire at michaels arts and crafts

[urquidezj]

I went there to get some organic bamboo yarn and cotton yarn to test for wicks. I just browsed through the jewelry making section searching for silver wire just in case they had it and found 32g wire. I did a test coil for drip ody and it worked. It's very brittle so care is needed twisting it and what not. It was under 4 bucks, just another place to look at if u run out in a pinch here a pic

Side note I built a wick and coil for drip ody with the center cotton yarn. It is freakin awesome. No prep just wrap. Taste is amazing, vapor production is excellent, nic hits really hard. Might have a winner.

I am willing to give it a try, keep us posted on longevity. Are you using pretty thin liquid?

 

[Huffelpuff]

Nice find! Would love to be able to pick up someting local when I'm running low on supplies.

Those bundles come in 235meters long balls

Get one and you wont run out ever!

Heard its better to boil everything a couple times before use?

Tried the bamboo yet?

Did you get an ohm reading on the coil by any chance?

I was actually eying up the wire the other day when I picked up the AL bamboo thread to test out.

Vape On!

If the wire is brittle, you can anneal it by running a cigarette lighter flame under it. Let it turn red and then let it cool by itself, don't quench the wire. This works well on half hard silver wire which is what that wire may be

 

[keighles]

let us know how the bamboo works out.

 

[martinc]

I got 960 meters of the bamboo stuff incoming...if it works as I hope it does,my Canadian bros will be served.

Very interesting !

So the yarn does not burn? and the bamboo one?

235 meters and 960 meters is a lot of wick, enough for a whole life of wick experimentations, to give some to your friends and to the GG family ! (and to weave some pouches for a GG collection also )

They both will burn if there is not enough juice on them,just like silica!

Bambo has an added bonus feature,anti-bacterial.

Its also reported that cottom and bamboo wick very well if not better than silica.

Look at pic number 1 in this thread: its mine btw.

I wondered why this well-used extremevizion stopped working http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/canada-forum/288885-ewww-close-ups-playing-new-toy.html

Guess where the majority of that stuff went!

I have been using the cotion wick it works good wicks like a sponge, taste really good but i can tell I need a new wick already. Might be my fault the cotton wick is thick and I trippled it where the coil goes. I might be.strangling it and its just burning. Will do another with pics tonight. That wire is fine got a consistant 1.7 ohm reading. Haven't used bamboo. Need to learn how to do round braids. My wife did one but its flat.

 

[martinc]

Somebody will have to learn how to crochet

 

[Huffelpuff]

Can anyone expand on the round braids that you need to make for Bamboo wick? Will be on a search for this and would love to know if I could try the bamboo as well as the yarn.

 

[martinc]

I plan on using mine this way to try 1st

Gaze upon my amazing drawing talents

 

[Huffelpuff]

Interesting...thanks Martin. Can't wait to try this out. If anyone tries the Bamboo post and let us know how it's working.

 

[martinc]

will do,mine is coming and will try it as soon as i get it.

 

[FunkyVapes]

Any updates? How is the NR wire working? I am blowing through mine from COV at an alarming rate and it would be great if I could just pop into a Michaels and grab some

 

[urquidezj]

Nr wire is working fine. The cotton wick not so much in dripper mode. Whenever I need to redo my short mode ill use it haven't used the bamboo either. Will soon.
