LOL.. it seems that everything I see now a days is a potential "wick wrapper"!

Fantastic pictorial! You are talented Adeline. Thank you! In this case pictures really are worth thousands of words.
So I just got my drunker and I really like it so far, havent tried to rebuild it yet hahah i bought premade coils.. Is anyone else's whistly? I didnt see this asked yet but this is a 50 page thread and maybe i missed that info... also my vape is really warm compared to my carto tank at a 2.2 ohm coil, at only 3.4 volts.
Yes, the original coils that come with it are too airy and make noise. Lol. But I have seen that using cotton wicks have made the air draw perfect for me.
I'm a heavy Vaper at times and the cotton wicks seem to fill up the holes and make the draw nice with no dry burns.
I went to Radioshack today to pick up something to clean a battery contact.
I saw this thing called a wire wrapping tool or something like that.
I almost bought it...
I might still, the manager there had my all googly-eyed. I had no qualms going back for something ELSE to fix the battery contact.

Haven't built a Drunker yet, but will today
On other organic wicked atty's, I've found the easiest way to rewick without deforming the coils is to snip off as much wick as possible. Then dry burn until the wick left inside the coil, and gunk is ash. Blow out, brush out, wash and rewick.

Adeline, thanks for starting this thread and introducing me to the Drunker and rebuild methods. You even got me to switch to cotton. I just got 3 Drunkers in the mail today. I was too lazy to rewrap a coil, so I just cut out the stock wick and slapped in some cheese cloth in one of them. It is soaking now...will hopefully know how I like it before I head to work tonight! I may try one of the other ones with the silica wick just to tell the difference between silica and cotton.

I hope you enjoy it! Cheesecloth takes a bit of time to soak perfectly.. Maybe you could get cotton balls going in another one of them!
Let us know!
Well I decided I would wait to bore the holes out wider until I experimented a little more. I recieved my 36 awg kanthal today, just got done welding up some nickle nr wire legs. Coil is about 2.0ohms so it was in the ball park of preference. Everything soaking, can't wait to test it out but I will.

For battery contacts, I always started with a pencil eraser--the pink ones found on wooden pencils, that would quickly wear a hole in a piece of paper if you erased too long in one spot. 2nd choice would have been the eraser for ink/typewriter. Both of these had fine grit embedded in them, and did work very well for cleaning contacts. If you wanna check if the eraser you have would work, try using it to clean a spot on a non-shiny copper coin (old penny). I think Radio Shack sells 'DeoxIT', which is what I use for for cleaning switch contacts in my old ham radios. A bit expensive though.
Wire-wrap tool: for wrapping 30 gauge copper wire tightly around a square 0.025 inch (0.63mm) size post. Sharp corners on post gave good electrical connection. 1 inch of wire would give a coil approx 1/8 - 3/16 inch (3-4mm) long. Would be quick way to wind very narrow diameter coils, using a paperclip or pin as a post.
Need more reasons to visit your local Radio Shack?
I already used the pencil eraser several times. The carbon buildup wouldn't completely go away, and it kept coming back.
And yes, I need more reasons.
Adeline.. are you going the the mistymountain vape meet this evening? I haven't fully decided yet but I think I will. It's a 4 hour round trip drive and I hate that it's not till 4.. but I don't have anything else to do. I think I'll bribe my son to ride along with me LOL
LOL!
I am totally going. Got all my RBAs set up last night, got some juices mixed .. Today I make sure everything's in working order and get a couple care packages together for friends (wick materials and special juice requests.. since I mix everything in 1mg).
Let me know if you decide to go!
My avi is a pic of me, so I'm pretty easy to find.
My son has agreed to ride with me (he's 14) so I guess I'll go I've got all my stuff set up and making sure my batts are all charged My picture is on my profile page.. along with my son. See you there!

Do I need to bring anything special? Are they going to have flavors to try out? would I need to bring an atty to do this? I don't want to look/act like a dork LOL
