Hemp wick for the Evod = fail.

[heateris]

i just got some 1mm hemp twine from lovepedal (ebay). Straight out of the package, i wrapped 3 pieces with 5 wraps of 32g kanthal, laid one more piece on top, filled and, let it sit for a while. went to vape and got a lot of gurgling and flooding. seems like the twine didn't adsorb the juice. almost like the juice was just around the twine.

i decided to boil the twine. maybe that will help its wicking ability. ill find out tomorrow when its dry.

any tips?

just a note, ive been wrapping CE4+ and Evod heads for a while without any problems. i mostly use cotton and silica.

UPDATE - i suck. my air holes were clogged with gunk. i cleaned everything up and the hemp wicks are working perfectly.

Oh wow, good to know. How does this compare to cotton?!

Seems like I don't sense any natural flavor. I'm just tasting the juice. All-in-all, hemp seems like a very nice alternative to silica or cotton.

I don't seem to have an issue with this either, I may try this too but I would have thought that hemp is too course. I'm pleasantly surprised.

Manufacturers should just ditch the silica and use hemp to begin with.

I wonder if natural linen would work. It seems very similar to hemp. I have many pounds of it from our yarn shop and it would be a good way I believe to use it.

did you bleach the hemp and boil several times, or just that one boil. Was planning on using hemp after seeing so many people say it works..
its also dirt cheap, and since hippies usually sell it, its probably organic

You should change the title of this thread so that it looks like your hemp wick had a positive outcome!
