Started out using two toothpicks until Quig suggested two 2mm bits taped together, much easier to slip the coil off.

"amazing that shipping is over 11 bucks for one ball of twine on here"
Organic Hemp Twines
You can change the drop down and choose $6. Takes "1-5 weeks", but I'd never had any domestic shipping from anywhere take more than like a week regardless of service chosen.

You lucky, best option for me sounds like 20 bucks 
What truly amazes me is that hemp seems to be produced here in Europe, but I just can't find it anywhere over here... so I need to resort to US/Canada vendors. Freaking globalisation...

Your second link says 2mm in the description, but the image on Amazon shows 3mm twine.
Which is for the 2mm? The second link? Did it work well?
I'd like some help deciding between hemp and cotton so I'm posting this to the hemp and cotton threads.
Both would be organic and nothing whatsoever added.
It seems like cotton wicks faster and holds more juice for a juicier hit, but burns maybe %30 easier.
Hemp won't burn as easily, but does it wick slower and not soak up a lot of juice?
However, I'd be using it in a bottom coil atomizer, so do I even have to worry about slow wicking or dry hits, in which case, I should chose cotton because it soaks more and gives a juicier hit? Thanks.

Why would three limp 1mm threads be stiffer than than one 3mm thread?
Most of us that are now on bamboo and or hemp used cotton first, Don't understand all your assumptions on wicking and soaking, on my lab tests I have found nothing faster or holds more than hemp.
K, so lovepedal said the 1mm is supposed to be about 6 strands, 'as it says in the listing' (I don't see this anywhere), but the 2 mm is 12 strands
Guess I'm just waiting for the 2 mm

I was thinking along the lines of 3 coffee stirrers together being stiffer than 1 straw. But i was referring to being stiffer than cotton.

Hmm...in the first post of this thread, BJ said both had 12 strands, and showed images:
I ordered 1mm because it was all they had, figuring I can just double-up two pieces. Now I wonder how many strands each has?
I'll have it today or tomorrow and will report back here.

Then on my first order (White) that I ordered as 1mm they must of sent me 2mm which is actually 1.5mm and figured I wouldn't know the difference. Anyway now I am using the the 2mm natural that also has 12 strand and preferring it. It has mellowed my DIY cigar booze with a woody hint that makes it more like a real cigar.
I was placing an order on amazon anyway and I spotted this 2mm hemp twine for $5.65 shipped:
Hemp Twine Bead Cord 2mm 197 Feet NATURAL 42673
Looks like it should be the right stuff, so I added it to my order. I'll report back when it gets here.

I got some of that and it was not as good, if it says cord it is usually braided and not twisted, twisted wicked much better than braided in all my tests.
Thanks for the quick response. It was in time for me to cancel that part of my order.
Yesterday I decided to only use a MVP that has a puff counter. I calculate I vape about 14 hrs a day deducting meals and bath time. It turned out I vaped 776 times during the day. I usually do a double draw and that is almost one double draw per minute. I don't think any vertical genisis with a natural fiber wick can handle that.
I used a CE5 with hemp and a clone Ody each with two threads of 2mm hemp.

BJ I remember you weren't really impressed with the Penny, how's the clone Ody compare?
I am really liking it with the 30g oval coil and two threads of 2mm hemp. My only problem is it is a choddy and there is no clear tank for it. I hate not knowing (Period).
Cool good to know. Maybe if I get around to building one of those DIY R-NR welders I'll re explore that style. No one sells clear tanks for the clone? I wonder if IBTanked would make one for you, there must be some kind of demand or interest plenty of people use them
