Has anyone tried Imist wicks in their attys?

[cloudcity]

I recently came across these IMist Replacement Wicks. They look to be pretty much the same thing as the ego-c wicks (but I've never used an Imist so don't know if they're bigger or smaller....)

Has anyone tried using these as replacement wicks?
I re-wick mine once the factory wicks have been cleaned a few times, but they're never quite as good as the factory wicks...

And come to think of it, joyetech could make a killing if they would sell wicks in say packs of 10 or 25. I know would stockpile those things like nobodies business because that would sure make my life easier than the time I spend cleaning and rewicking...

Wow! With the mesh already on there I bet that's something even I could do. Hope someone knows.

I ordered 10, they shipped today (from Greece so it will be a bit of a wait...) I will report back as soon as I get them. Man these would make everyone's life easy if they actually fit...

 

[cloudcity]

still waiting ...
I'll repost once they show up!

Did they get to ya yet?

Found them hiding in the mail this evening. These appear to be the same as ego-c wicks. They're a little longer but they do seem to be the same. A little bit long and need a little trimming, but look to be the same...) working great in my enroll

Could you perhaps make a tutorial for dummies?

Here's a new atty with the top off. When you remove an old wick, twist in a new one starting at the top allowing the wick to drop out of the bottom. The wick appears to be twice as long as the thickness of the base. Use a nail clipper and cut accordingly. As for the coil, I boil them in the microwave for approximately 3 minutes. Scrape the gunk off with tooth brush after and boil once more.

A cleaned coil.


Thanks Cloudcity for the great find. Maybe they will be available in the states soon.

Thanks for the pics. It looks like you don't pinch mesh on the tip in the spike. Does that make any difference in the vape?

Thanks for the tip cloudcity! I just trimmed one of the wicks a little and put it in an old atomizer and it's working great so far! There isn't any wick poking out of the spike but it doesn't seem to make any difference to the vape.

Hmm I spoke too soon.. getting a nasty burnt taste after a few hours use, so I guess it is important for a some of the wick to stick out of the spike end in order for it to wick properly.

Two hours ago I didn't even know that these atties came apart, and now I'm vaping on an eRoll with a sterilized cotton wick!

I took the tiny mesh bit out...and I probably used too much cotton on the inside, but I'm vaping away.
