Hello :) New to ECF and vaping got a few questions though.

[ChaotikDreamz]

Hello all would like to start off saying that i have been smoke free since july 5th. And vaping is well starting to become a hobby .

So I am currently using a kanger E-Smart not to bad of a lil pen style. honestly the tank suck without some sort of tweaking best tweak is to remove those wasteful things called flavor wicks.

So anyway to some questions I am a pretty handy fellow and already have mastered the tearing apart and re-coiling/ re-wicking a kanger E-smart clearo. Yes they can be done

But i am starting to expand i have a egoT and kanger mini protanks on the way. I am not a fan of these 3ml+ tanks just to big to carry around so the mini protank will probably be my last tank hopefully till i atleast get hands on a mini pro II lol.

Now to my question well really one i guess. Wicking materials i see tons of SS,ceramic,cotton,ecowool i am sure i could go on. Coil making is not a issue.

But i guess my question is to re-wick my e-smart tanks and miniprotanks when they get here. Is cotton as great as people are saying and i guess my real question is if cotton is good has anyone tried Butcher's Twine. It's 100% cotton. I was thinking butcher's twine for my e-smart clearo's to get the length needed for the tank. Any ideas and has anyone tried it.

Thanks in advance. And sorry if this is all in the wrong spot.

I use cotton on my protank, evods, and drippers and it is fantastic. As long as it stays wet (which you using it in a bottom coil tank should be no problem) it gives great flavor. Recoiling is super easy once you get used to it, and for the price of a 5 pack of new heads you can get enough wire and cotton to make 500.

Thanks for the reply Wutarush lol. But i guess i hide my real question in there in my ramblings.

Has anyone tried Butcher's Twine for a Top coil atty. Or even in a BCC

Lol sorry I didn't even notice that asked, my reading comprehension is in a constant battle with my inattentive mind haha. Never tried butchers twine (i just use sterile balls from CVS) but I would assume it would work, but I guess that would depend on its absorption capability. Probably want to try boiling it first to get any impuritys out too. But again I don't know, just my assumptions.

Edit: I know cotton rope works, wouldnt that be pretty much the same as butchers twine?

Yes i have seen alot of talk about the cotton balls. <<<< also many other werd places to get their cotton but ya thats another topic lol. But since i would like to re-wick my E-smart clearo's and their top coil. And well butcher's twine is 100% cotton and food grade lol. Just seemed like a good idea to get a long wick for a top coil. Maybe i'll just give it a try what can got wrong some scorched cotton string lol.

The butchers twine is wound a little tight you need to unravel it a bit but otherwise it's a perfect choice .
