what would have been interesting is to see how fast the liquid would rise on the wick at the point of emmersion. Being that the KGD is "pre-formed" ( strands in close proximity of each other) may have given it a bit of an advantage in the capillary function, if the 4 samples were say put into straws to keep the density/volume equal across the 4 samples, there may have been a bit of a difference in wicking speeds....

in another wick test, there was a new solid ( white rod open cell looking) that had some pretty impressive wicking speeds... he didnt mention what it was since it wasnt released yet.

Sea sponge?

Natural Sea Sponge.... not just ordinary regular run of the mill sea sponge.... but, hand picked by red headed mermaids and sun dried on a Hawiian Black Sand Beach.

Keep talking like that and VaLooper will have more fodder for his hallucinations. :)

    Agreed. To believe that test would mean every hit from cotton would be dry. I still have never had a dry hit in my KFL from either silica or cotton.
    Me either , but I do get a cotton taste for awhile on a fresh wick and the rayon does last longer than cotton before the taste gets funky , I'll probably go back to cotton in the Heron clone because I need expansion instead of contraction there , but I'll keep the rayon in everything else .

    You and me, we need to have a chat about packing light. Once the baby comes, that fanny pack or whatever you have there will be filled with baby bottles and pacifiers. Start practicing right now.

    One mod in hand, one mod in bag. 4 batteries, 1 charger and 3 bottles of juice. Go! :D

    I will have to fix it tomorrow. I think 2 mods too many honestly but I fell aslep pretty much after I posted and slept way too long :(
    2 reos and a dripper should be plenty. It really should be about the juice anyway.

    Well I've sold three mods (working on the fourth) since I snagged the three Reos. Two of the three have been delivered and buyer is happy...I always worry about that. I would never try to rip anyone off..but just don't ever want to have any issues with selling vape gear. I do feel much better though...I have enough gear like shoes....if I buy new, need to get rid of the same number (or more):laugh: I do have to admit the Reo bug has me...

    Dusty, it's gonna change your perspective on a lot of juices. I'm still amazed at the difference in quality. Post your thoughts after you use it. And how you put it together.


    I'm curious to see the difference from the other drippers I have. My build will be the standard single coil 28g, 7-8 wraps at around 1.2ohms. This will let me use it on the Mechs or the Provari as well.

    I can't tell you what it'll be like with that much resistance, but just for kicks, you'd be remiss to not take that same coil and double it on a mech, just for one tank.

    Take your bestest juice, load it in a kayfun, load it in that magma, you'd be at .6ohms, and see the difference. I'm curious as to the difference between a single and dual coil just in the magma. There's no reason why I haven't made the comparison myself. Other than I'm inherently lazy.
