it may be possible but honestly I was just kidding about them being slightly defective. my honest guess is these scratches were caused by something in the machining process but couldn't say for sure.
I just set up a dripper with cotton. Its working pretty well but I don't notice a huge difference. It does taste cleaner.

it takes a while, maybe 20 or so vapes before the cotton really breaks in. at first its ok but gets better after a while. overall flavor compared to silica may not be a huge difference, the difference is in the wicking capabilities, availability, cost and compatibility with micro coils, oh, and the safeness, after all silica is fiberglass!
BC...I'm gonna say this one time. Knock it off! I can be as belligerent as you but there is no place for it on this thread. Get it? If not, I'll gladly have a bucket of ice water thrown on it. Your call.
I'm not sure what you mean. I've stated before that I have a 9 wrap 28g microcoil with cotton and it's vaping perfectly every time. I keep the strand of cotton very thin. Just enough to offer some resistance on the coil and my tails sit on top of the channel I used a little saliva to place them right on the channel. When I add the small chamber, I double check the wicks didn't move. If moved I push them back over the channel. Add a little priming juice. Close everything up. Turn over and fill to top of tank. Affix screw, turn over and start vaping. Perfect vape. No leak, no dry hits.

I set it up with cotton and so far so good. I'll give it a bit. I didn't prime it to see if it was taking juice in and it is. Thanks for the help guys. I'm still not sure why this wasn't working with silica because I had it set up the same way.
donnah, you didn't start anything. I think we all found your post to be funny. I know I did.
I use silica and it works fine. I've also used cotton and it works fine too. Just keep messing with it and you'll get it eventually. Have confidence!
Where are we going?
In other news, my newly scored KF3.1, polished, is on its way
I'll be throwing the GVC in that
Hmm, donnah - I just rewicked (30-mins back) one of my KFLs exactly this way (first cotton replacement over the same coil in a month) and I'm going fine - as it was before. AND:
1) Found I didn't have any dings/scuffs/slash on the deck (this was an InTaste one),
2) I've never placed the wick any other way since I fetched my KFLs (3 as of now),
3) I ensure that my wick-tails are around 1+* cm on each end (longer could get feeding issues).

*Yours looked a bit longer
So what you're saying is that you keep your wick tails well away from the juice inlets? My kfl came from intaste also. I think Rule62 has 5 kfls from 3 different vendors and all of his has the "beauty mark"
I posted this pix about a week ago (can't remember if it was in this thread or not). I mean really...this is as ugly as it gets. This wick has a lot of mileage on it and it just keeps pumping out the vapor. It's just a 30ga, 10-wrap, 2mm ID coil with four strands of 1mm standard silica wick. Yes, the wick is frazzled, unraveled, and undignified but it functions perfectly! I don't do anything special when I lay them on the deck. I just stuff them down there in no particular fashion and it works every time.
I don't have a scratch on my deck (InTaste).

My first came from Vaperev. Then 2 from Intaste. Then got 2 from Cloud9. All 5 look the same.
I just keep my cotton pretty fluffy. I don't twist it up much. Just enough to get it to hold it's shape. Pull it through the coil, with a little resistance. I then drop the cotton down to the shelf, and across. I trim it off with the end of the shelf with cuticle scissors. After I put the chimney on, I prime the cotton on each side with about 3 drops of juice.
Glad the cotton worked out for you! But do prime it next time, you dont want to burn your cotton on the first few hits. I really saturate my chamber before putting it all back together and filling it.
In other news I decided to reapply my 555 into the KFL so I cleaned it rewicked it but this time I decided to try on the metal center tank piece for aesthetics sake and use the top fill method. This might have been an excersise in futility since I dont have a siringe to measure how much I put in it. 2 out of 4 times I take off the top cap and reinstall I get a chamber flood. I'm following the whole cover the air hole, present the threads of the top cap, invert and finish threading the top cap bit but I cant do it consistently without getting a flood afterwards.
Any tips? I might just bust a nut tomorrow not knowing where my juice level is but I know for sure a full tank sees me through the whole day from 6am to 8pm at least.

No. I get them to (a)'drop over it' (the juice slots) and (b)'carry on further' till the edge of the deck. Pls see here:
WICK SIZES:
Kept the wick tails to 1cm each end. The total wick length is around 2.5cms.
WICK TAIL PLACEMENT:
As per my standard practice, kept the wick ends long enough to lie flat across the deck. Not just on the juice channel - but bending on the slots towards right and going all the way till the edges of the deck. Yep, I do that always and they never fail me!
Nice pictorial Q. I find the wicks should extend to the width of the Kayfun for best results. It appears that is where yours are.
