• Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers

    Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

I had checked Walgreen's in my area along with a few other places, no rolled cotton. Lots of gauze, woven bandages, and cotton balls to be found at all of them, but no rolled. CVS was the only place I found that carried sterile rolled cotton. Before that, I used organic cotton balls for a bit and that works well too.

I've been using cotton balls also, but wanted to try the rolled sterile as everyone raves about it. Plus, apparently, doesn't need washing/boiling to make it vapeable.

We don't have CVS here. Our equivalent is Walgreen's. Can't find anything that matches, at least description wise. This stuff is just a long strand of loose cotton fiber, rolled up right? It's not a gauze or woven bandage, right?

Could someone post a picture of the roll with the end hanging loose for reference?

Hope this helps:

So no one who is using micro coils is using silica? Only rolled cotton? What has to be boiled?
Thanks for the info too!

Some people are using silica. It's just a little hard to get threaded through a micro.

Most are using the cotton. Easy to thread. Some cotton sources have a funky taste, or may have other left over chemicals on them from processing. So most people are boiling the cotton 2 or 3 times to clean it and improve the taste. I believe just about every source of cotton (balls, cheesecloth, yarn, butcher twine, sterile, organic, rolled) have been tried by someone.

I use mini coils with German silica or ekowool. Bigger than micro, 2mm to 2.5mm. Micro coils (in the 1.6mm range) are best with cotton, the most common being sterile rolled cotton, organic cotton balls, and sterile cotton balls. None of these need to be boiled, but some people prefer to.

Ratchet, Woody- sealed stamped and going to post office in a few minutes.

It doesnt look like much, but it'll last awhile depending on your builds....

The little puff outside the bag is about what I sent each of you. That little puff has been used for a few weeks now, and I havent even pulled any from the bag.

And I rebuild just about every day!

Thats my old '98 883 Sportster. Started of as a stock bike, but after my glorious wheelie incident in my buddies apt complex parking lot, I rebuilt it with the HD insurance check.

Indian Larry dish tank, S&S carb, cheapo Cycle Shack pipes, rigid strut bars, Z-bars, and a $30 solo pan seat. Custom super secret ignition switch box. Four switches had to be flipped in a certain order before you could turn the key and push the button to start. Won many $100 bets from loudmouth know it alls saying they could start any bike ever made lol...

Almost had Bridgette the midget on the back of it one night.....

Sold it four years ago for $6,200 and bought an '09 Dyna Street Bob.

Man thanks a lot. You're right that cotton will last awhile. I really appreciate the generosity! Lemme know if I can return the favor ever.

Hey guys, just checking in with my latest. I'll be going back to building on the REO now lol.

This PIA build is a Dual Split Nano Coil. 28g, 10 wraps each then split in half giving me a 5 wrap quad nano setup. Dragon Coil style wicking at .36 ohms. Reminds me of a rocket on test fires like a Saturn 5 (yea, yea... that rocket had 5 boosters).

Okay okay... everything is subjective blah blah blah...

But... I want to know everyone's opinion on the optimal Reo Setup for flavor and warmth. I will now abandon clouds on the Reo until the sub-ohm kit comes out. Too many pages to sift through here lol.

Throat hit is irrelevant since I vape 0 nic on the Reo. I have a 2mm airhole. I have tried at least 6 different setups on the Reo and just can't seem to find one that I like. I'm too used to sub-ohming below .5 and as we Reonites know (still get giggities being able to say I'm in the club), it's not ideal for that.

I will say that Mundy's meat grinder looks very appealing lol. Is that just twisted ribbon wires? I'm also ordering a Triangle atty to drill a smaller hole. Will probably drill a 1/16 in it.

Thanks guys!
