Just wanted to thank you guys for figuring this hemp out.. The taste.. well, the best and then some.
Is anyone rewicking Evods or AspireBDC's with hemp? I always end up back with my provari, but the evods taste dry most of the time I always start dripping when I get home.

Somewhere in this thread there are pics of my evods and aspire hemp heads..
Here is my last aspire with a vertical coil and hemp.
same to you, bj

Happy turkey/food coma day!!!!
Ok now back to business
The short story is.....success, flavor or lack there of seems to match the similarly wash washed hemp fiber.
Before and after pics of cleaning my 12 strand hemp thread.
Cleaning process was.....
- oxyclean soak (work day long)
- boil 30 min
- rinse
- HP&BS treatment
- rinse
- boil 30 min
- rinse
- boil 30 min
- rinse
- dried in the microwave
I have all three TGT's going with three different coil diameters 1.7mm/2mm/2.3mm. So far it seems a full 12 strand thread is to much for the 1.7mm coil, removing 4 strands will be my next test with that size coil. A full 12 strand thread seems about right for a 2mm coil, removing or adding a couple strands to dial it in. 18 strands seems to be perfect for the 2.3mm coil, I just combed out a couple lengths of the thread and added the extra strands and then loosely rolled back into a 18 strand thread.
Now back to your food coma

FWIW, I normally use a 1mm/7 strands hemp twine for 1.5mm or 1/16 ID microcoils; after it swells a bit with eliquid, it's a perfect match.
Perhaps that may be stretched to work with a 1.7mm ID as well.. I've noticed that strangling the hemp wick does no good, as for cotton.
Note: I usually unravel the twine until the strands flow parallel thru the microcoil, it works much better that way IMO.
Happy thanksgiving to all of you hempers!

Really digging this Taifun clone!
After changing the coil orientation yesterday I am very pleased. This is a very versatile setup. If I vape it at 13w it hits hard like a VNH coil on an R91, if I vape it at 11w it hits like a hard hitting high end genny, if I vape it at 9w it hits nice and mellow.
Here is where I landed:
- Cut the AO short so that there is about a 1.5mm gap between the ends of the wick and the chamber walls.
- I used my chopped and saturated hemp rather than the uncut long dry fibers. I found that it molded easily
- Filled that 1.5mm gap with hemp, and then looped the hemp over any exposed AO beyond the width of the coil.
- Packed the hemp even with the outside of the juice channel walls.
I am using the hemp just as a juice conduit, but actually vaporizing the juice off of pure AO. The flavor is clean, like we are used to with AO. The issue I had yesterday was just a new batch of juice where the juice itself was weak. I put the last of my Worcestershire juice in this build and it lived up to expectations.
The only downside is that there is a very slight lag because of the AO. Not bad, just hit button when I pick up the Mod and by the time it reaches my lips it is good to go.
Notice how far the coil is above the airhole when I attached the leads from the BOTTOM of the coil to the terminals.
Note: the black look at the deck is just the lighting.
Looks great......
Same concept but with a Fogger:
The hemp makes a wonderful "juice conduit" and reserve. The same great flavor that we expect from AO.
In the interest of full disclosure, I had already widened the 2 wick channels to 3mm in an attempt to use an AO wick going all the way through the walls. That failed, I started seeing animals coming two by two it flooded so bad. Anyway, the point being that the wick channels where wider than stock.

This is the setup I use on my drippers.
Also makes great use of all those AO wick bits that went "snap" during shaping or use in a genny.
Finally got my hands on some hemp today. Thanks tibs, already did the prewash, and now soaking in oxiclean solution. by midnight I'll be able to do the first boil and HP/BS soak of bap's uber clean process. Thanks to the good people here, I know exactly what is needed and appreciate all the tips and tricks.
Just noticed I forgot a rinse step after the oxyclean soak. I rinse pretty well after each step, but the rinse after the oxyclean is actually the most thorough. I rise with warm to hot water until there is no suds and etc.
