if your juices crack windows then use steel window Adam. If you juices dont crack windows then put o-rings around the clears to avoid any leakage even if window gets broken for some reason

Already bought steel window no leaks works great i like the clear window well the look of it i mean. I would like to see the juice level as well comes in handy otherwise ithaka is your best yet. Lets work on no non resistance wire and somthing sleek and sexy for my wife haha
ready wires are on their way, including a surprise Adam. As for your wife, she has to wait, just like I do. Its hard to make electronics, especially the one that I make.
My engineer is one of the best in Greece and maybe the best but I have producing problems. I have send the design to around 70 factories until now, including Samsung. Before 2-3 days they told me that they face problems producing my design. Finally after 1 more day they reject my design, saying that its too complicated. They told me that I have to make at least 20.000 pieces if I still want to procceed.
Paying a crazy amount of money for a start and then forced to pay for 20000 pieces it was not exactly what I had in mind. So trip begins again.
Lets see how this will end

If samsung said it is too compliated, what in the hell did you put in those electronics!!
They thought it was something easy that they could make it very quick aal. But they desided to reject me not because they cant but because they dont want to spend so much time on me.
Maybe electronic engineers will understand what is happening with this electronic part if I tell them that the pcb has many layers and also blind and buried vias on it

Popping in to quickly update that 8 days later cotton still strong. Vapor starting to fade but th and flavor solid. That's it. Carry on.
I would really like to try this cotton yankee but I am really worried about its components and what it can produce when its heated. Thats my biggest concern on all those materials around. Maybe mesh its obvious that its not good (thats my opinion only) but its not so obvious with cotton.
I will do a google search now about it

Imeo, I am using cotton from pharmacy, katharo 100% bambaki. Just ask for organic, and boil it for 20 mins and rinse it. I don't think there is anything wrong with cotton since you cannot vape it dry it will burn. That's my opinion at least.
I have to say imeo. I have had some concerns about the silica as well. I know you carefully select your products and what you will provide all of your customers. But that can't possibly stop the fact that I think about what's included in silica. I am one that but my foods organic whenever possible. The cotton balls I use are organic from a pharmacy. The cotton yarn I use is not organic but does undergo a 20 minute boil. I used to vape mesh and have one genesis atty I don't use anymore because I've had concerns there too for obvious reasons. But that too will get converted to cotton.
As I say, I know you are careful. Nobody can be too careful. And to be honest, if one doesn't make it themselves, one cannot be guaranteed what's in a product no matter the testing.

Any chance of more ithaka mouthpiece for drip tips being available? I didn't think I would use one, but recently added a white pv to my collection and found some nice white nylon drip tips that would look quite nice.
Also, Yankee. With the cotton do you build and install your coil and then just keep inserting new cotton to be used? That would be pretty handy I think. I like the silica from imeo, but if there is a time I run out wouldn't mind having something else for back up that is easy to get.

I am now using cotton and will be replacing my atty's with it. xtreme was nice enough to send me some after Yankee talked me into it and gave me some tips.
I am on a 6th tank in a GP Spheroid and 2nd in one of the Ithaka's. I couldn't be more impressed. I never thought I would say goodbye to my Russian ekowool but alas I am going to. The flavor and the vapor production of the cotton is fantastic.
I suspect the cotton medium is a bit more fragile when it comes to rinsing and cleaning, time will tell.
Long. I build the GG attys the traditional way. Although I'm thinking of trying it with reinserting. But I'm thinking that would be easier using Krinkle where I don't have get those tails down low. But I DO use that method on my drippers.
All my attys are now using microcoils and cotton except my GG ones. Gonna try a microcoil on penelope and ithaka as soon as i return from my business trip. the idea is that you make the microcoil the usual way and the connect the NR wires. Then you just connect it without any wicks. Then slide the cotton inside it. It would be krinkle, but since cotton balls can be litterally compressed to any size you want, you can make the tails of the cotton as a wick down the channels.
Much appreciated. Sorry for being lazy here, but when you have a chance could you give me the name of the cotton you like best? I have seen before to make sure it is organic undyed and such.
I am very interested in your results.
Prior to the Sugar n Cream cotton yarn, I was and still am using this cotton. I get it from a local pharmacy that uses it to pack pill bottles. I like it due to the length and I don't have to stretch cotton balls out as it is just over 5 inches in length.
Thank you Yankee. My concern is what happens to cotton after it gets heated in several temperatures. If we make a search and we find that nothing harmless outgrowth is produced, then we can safely say that its better than silica because of its wicking ability and maybe the best of all materials for e-cigs

If you dry burn like I do I could only use this for drippers.
Sold my drippers will be wearing cotton very soon. Thanks guys.

I definitely understand the concerns on high exposure to heat. Especially for a prolonged period of time. Keeping the cotton moist and saturated becomes even more important with this process. The cotton will take on the heat of the liquid for sure. On the flip side of the coin, I have had great concern over fiberglass, silica, etc. I continue to do some research on cotton. At the same time, I draw some concerns over heating up a material that CAN handle that heat. Until I learn something drastically different, I'm just more comfortable vaping on something a little more "natural" than a factory produced material.
I do zero dry burning for the very reason that you just can't. There is no way. And frankly except for the inconvenience of having to completely recoil, I wouldn't see a need to. With silica part of my want of dry burning was to save the money of silica and not recoil. Now 1 out of 2 reasons are out. There is a reason that firefighters are instructed to stay away from polyester and other materials that are more man made and use cotton or wool. Although they can burn, they burn cleaner and don't produce toxic chemical output that can leach.
This is something I've wanted to look into more. I notice a difference in everything.

Definitely not a dry burn material. No way no how.
