No matter what I do the cotton turns black with the Bobas.
I am thinking cotton doesn't work with BB.
Cotton turns black with all of the juices I vape (NETs). Vapes fine. Just cahange it when the flavor drops off.
How do you guys get the cotton wick out of the coil without deforming the coil? I mean, the cotton is still wet and hence swollen. Do you trim one side and just pull it out from the other side, or do you just yank out the whole cotton?
I'm trying micro coils with cotton on kanger t3 and protank. If the cotton wick is not thick enough, it would naturally flood. Hence the cotton wick has to be thicker. I don't get dry hits, but am just wondering what's the simplest way to get the wick out without deforming the coils.
What I do now is to wash the head and let it dry, thereby shrinking the cotton and allowing me to pull it out slowly with a screwing motion, keeping the coils intact.

It is fairly easy on an RBA like this.
I'm not sure on the one you mention. The trick is to make the wick the same thickness / density for the entire length. You don't want it too tight or too loose - just so you feel slight resistance when pulling it thru
My bad, my bad. I forgot that you are all using the reo or derippers, hence the wicks would be drier and hence less swollen, unlike the bottom coil clearo like t3. Sorry.
Been lurking on this thread, and it's been an eye opener!

You have to use a small**minimum amount of cotton. I use a roll that dry is about 2/3 smaller then the hole. You don't need the cotton to swell to much. The bobas is almost thick enough to cling to the coil it's self. You just need very little to give it something to sit on. Do some trial and error. You can try a wick,if it doesn't do it try less cotton. Rinse and repeat until you get it to your liking.

Because I saw some microcoils that were not really wound tight - when you fire the raw coil, it should be heating from the center outwards, like this:
If your coil glows unevenly or not from the center, you are missing out.

You can just dryburn the cotton wick and blow it out if it hasn't already dropped out. Before the dryburn give coil/wick a gentle pat with paper towel or kleenex to remove excess juice. Just a few seconds burn and it's gone. If you are using 30 ga or thicker wire you can even give coil/wick a gentle squeeze as thicker wire coils don't deform as easily as > 30 ga.

The cotton will fall apart in about 2 days anyway - it's easy to remove. In fact one dry hit and it's goodnight Vienna!
What i recommend is xc-116, ceramic wick. It's expensive, $7 a foot at bigtexvapor - but it can be dry burned to clean your coil and i get easily 2 weeks from it. i use about an inch of it to make an "S" shaped wick in an RM2 at any time.

i have used XS116 (or larger) its a silica nextel sleeve... pretty good.
Not always. The rolled cotton I have in a .7 ohm dripped has been going strong for a couple of weeks now. But I only take a number of hits on it everyday when I get home from work. The coil sits high from the deck & I keep the wick really saturated as it goes through juice faster thananything else I have. Last night I barely singed it. Just to see I added a few more drops & hit it again. To my surprise I no longer tasted any burnt cotton unlike other times when I have singed cotton. I just changed the wick this morning & the cotton was barely singed. Usually when I singe cotton I can tell a big different in wicking. After I changed the wick I noticed no difference at all. Guess I just got lucky on that wick.
I use Ekowool on my Reos that leave the house simply cause I don't want the risk of singing cotton. I've tried to do cotton & when I'm out & about I'll find myself singing it but rarely singe at home. I'm not afraid to spend money on things but the reason I don't buy XC cause IMHO it way overpriced. I get 10ft of Ekowool from Big Tex for $19. I dry burn & torch the Ekowool once or twice before I change it. I haven't tried XC yet & I hear it does wick a little better than Ekowool but I can't imagine it to be that much better vs the price difference. I have no issues using Ekowool at all so that's still my preference for now.
First off. I would like to thank super x drifter
for helping me bring my vaping experience to
new heights.
Micro Coil on my Kafun 3.1
32 gauge kanthol.
8 wraps. 2.0 Ohms.
CVS sterile Rolled Cotton.
Just so we all know,
A normal built sylica wick in this is amazing.
Flavor will exceed your expectations.
The Kayfun is not over rated by any means.
With that being said. OMG!!!!
Plumes of Vapor
Way Way Way more flavor!!!
I honestly believe in my opinion.
This has improved something that
was already very impressive.
Thought I would share.
Now go micro your Kayfun's

i use fat silica for my "work" Reos. i make them at close to 1 Ohm dead, in fact i am rather irritated these days if i am out by 4/100ths. Since i have the silica here - it's 1/8th inch candle wick! I never tried ekowool - but i hear it's the same as the ceramic wick that i do rate.
My misfortune is to live in Texas where the store is - so i have to pay sales tax on it :/
I'm not sure it's really worth $7 a foot, but it is good, does not unravel and lasts for ages. My usual wicks are the silica however, because in the immortal words of a fellow vaper ' i have enough to tether a weather balloon'.

Maybe it is because I put way too much cotton in my coils but last night I was over at a friends house, and I got several burnt hits due to not paying attention (and maybe the beer taking away my ability to notice the flavor dissipating
) But I would just over squonk and then it would be fine again. I ran the same wick all day long at work today and it tasted great. Maybe I too just got lucky.
Kind of gross looking i know, but Peach and Grants Vanilla Custard is oh so good...
I did it ! yep 1/16" got the pin sized cotton tail in there ...
28g about 9 wraps =1.24 Ohms. I'm in!
next up ... 26 nichrome w/lots and lots of wraps

How do you folks get your cotton even on both sides? I can never get more than a little rat-tail on the side I thread in no matter how much I keep twisting the cotton. It seems to work ok, especially after I got rid of the massive tail I had on my first one.
Thread your cotton through a little farther the cut off the rat tail. You don't need big balls of it, less is usually better as long as it keeps up with the coil.
