I use the plastic section. If you use the steel, there is a subtle difference in flavor right before it runs dry. I find it's tougher to fill it without overfilling with the steel, no problems with it running low.
I've had a skein of peaches and cream in my bag for a while... haven't boiled it yet to try it out. I guess I should, 90% of my rewick time is made up of actually getting the wick prepped. If the yarn worked just as well, it'd be even easier.
I been running the stainless section for the last 3 tanks, just because I hate the looks of the plastic tank.
I fill it from the top, there is a change of taste when you get near the end. To me it seems like it is a lot stronger of a taste right before it goes dry.
I'm using the plastic tank for the same reasons the others are although I like the look of the steel tank more than the plastic .Question... anyone with a KF, KFL, Russian...do they use the plastic or metal tank section? I can't imagine using the SS tank section... you have no idea how much juice is in there! It'll run dry without you knowing and you have no idea how much you've filled it (unless you fill it from the top with the cap off.
The farthest I've gone is 2 tanks with the cotton but I could probably get a couple more out of it but rewicking with cotton is so cheap and easy so I don't wait for flavor or vapor production to drop off before I rewick keeps it tasting good .Nice... rewicked kfc with cotton, loaded with Legend.... much better. Now it's rocking without the stank flavor. The silica just didn't work, didn't feed right and dried out too fast. All is right again.we'll see how long the cotton holds out.

Yup that's how I learned as well , the KFC is still a lot easier to deal with and way less headaches than a protank , but some people are hard to convince that an RBA is less work than most of the tank systems out there .I made the mistake of going to far with a tank of Legend about a week ago. I thought I could get another tank out of it, well wouldnt you know it didnt make it. When it decided to start really dropping vape and flavor I was away from home and had to stick out for about 4hrs on what tasted like watered down Legend!!Considering how cheap cotton/yarn is, you can bet that wont happen again!!! 2 tanks and its out of there, I dont care what it looks like or how good its still tasting!!

Yeah it is , the SVD looks like a three stage missile with an all stainless KFC on top .That all-stainless look is pretty badass isn't it?
I've gotta pickup some yarn the next time I go to Walmart but I imagine butchers twine would probably work as well, it's all cotton and meant for use with food .I use 29gauge wire, and pretty much exclusively cotton now. (although bamboo threading adds a tiny earthy taste to NETs) The EASIEST wicks- Cotton string. Buy it at WalMart for use in my vegetable garden. Mamaw also uses it for trellising her taller house plants. Cut a length equal to my index finger, then unravel three or four strands. Thread into coil, and done.

I've got a butchers supply store close to me but most supermarkets should have it , you can always ask the butchers for some as well , they'll usually give it to you but you'd definitely want to boil it to sterilize it , I've worked as a butcher when I needed a break from the kitchen and those bandsaws can scatter meat and bone fragments everywheres in the cutting room .I can never find butcher's twine.
Just gave my SVD an inferiority complex... I introduced it to my Vamo3
