Cotton balls and yarn are pretty much free. I spent 3$ on a bag of cotton balls and at this rate I think they're going to last forever.

Especially since I can rebuild everything I have with one cotton ball and still have leftover. Crazy isn't it? But the flavor just seems cleaner and certain ingredients pop more.

Tip on threading in case some don't know. Make a hook with a paperclip and create a loop with the wick. Pass the paperclip through your coil gently pulling the wick through using the hook. . If you want double, just make the loop ends both longer and stop.
It won't work with all wick, but it helps. I know I've seen pics of Qorax using this method.
Cotton is just rolled up at one end and threaded like a needle.

You can also use a hook made with a bit of Kanthal. I always have a bit left over when I trim my coil tails.

Ok. I have to admit. The LUX is sweet looking too. But I have to hide my comments for reasons I can't explain. :D

I also have never tried GVC. Probably never should. Jojo has a batch of Orange Cream and Strawberry Cream in the hoppa steeping. I cannot wait to try them on for taste. And there is a white chocolate peppermint that is....well..... be back. I drooled.

Welcome to the world of my daily suffering :).
No problem, its what we all do here.
Go back and read Perseas answer as he said the same thing. When 2 people say the same thing it sometimes is easier to comprehend.

Haha, I did go back and read Perseas' response and yes, it finally clicked. The difference is, Perseas provided a "grown up" answer, and you drew a picture with your words for my 5 yr old (or 500 yr old) brain :p

Thanks again to all who responded. It's why I love this thread :)

Duh & Face palm.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Now that I've stared at it as suggested, I see it clear as the San Diego sky. I just couldn't see (ignored) the lip that was right in front of me. Sometimes what's right in your face is the hardest to see!

I had a real Duh and Facepalm moment..forgetting the screw was reverse threaded:facepalm: Everyone here answered with pleasure (although I'm sure they might have snickered on the side) I love this place...

ID,

What's your setup in the GT?

I swing from cotton yarn to silica and set them up identical,

2 strands of either - 3mm silica and I suspect the Suger n Cream Cotton is roughly 3mm - 3.5(but is more pliable). 30 Ga wrapped 4 times for 1.3ish.
There are no leaks at all. I have seen a few that add that extra strip outside of the coil on top of the wick/coil but, if there are flood issues why the hell not wrap it in the coil?
I was using one strand 3mm ekowool with much success as well. My 4mm eko was a bit large.
I can not figure out how to micro coil with cotton ball medium as the flooding I know would be issue.
I remember watching Todd's video and it was actually well done. I want to tell him that his weird first and last loop around a single strand does not make sense. He thinks it brings the wick closer? As all he is doing is adjusting ohms by a micro fraction. He says it may of come from Navy Lifeguard but, I don't remember that in NL's video

There is a fine line on dry hits/flooding with the specific wicks available but, I make sure I can pull the wick from side to side with the vapor chamber cap on and there is no space at the same time.

I'm going to take a stab at this....later
JoQueen makes fantastic juices. I think we finished Jo's cheesecake in less than a day.
Find Capella's vanilla flavoring and use it in a vanilla custard brew. You will love it just back it down a bit as it is powerful. Personally I could mainline it straight from the jug :).
I know a guy who uses it and sells out regularly :).

Oh lordie. I can't get hooked in another juice.
Hmmm never heard that one...please brother.
I have tried Gremlins Custard and the rest. It is hands down my go to and favorite. Honestly I have disciplined myself to x ml a day at a certain time so that I continue the want.
I am officially down to Ahlusion and Grants. I have not found an Ahlusion flavor that is not fantastic. Tyleris, Iowa and Kat know what I mean when I say it is the freshest and all around juice experience out there.
Made to order fresh ingredient goodness.

I know and hats off to you both, seriously. I DIY'd for a week. Tops. I had little patience opr the time to try and reproduce what I know would of been substandard. D would also love too and would be great at it.
Some people have the talent with liquids, I find my talents elsewhere in this great hobby. That's another reason to love this v world. Friends fill the gaps to complete circles so there is good connection.
