If you're going to the Southington, Conn. vape meet today I'd be happy to trade 2 Vamos for that Pthingy.
You could get twice as much testing done!

I haven't actually measured, but I can tell you that 2mm is slightly larger than the stock wicks. It works fine without having to peel any silica off, but I'm reasonably sure the stock wicks are 1.5mm. I use 2mm anyway because it's easier for me to handle.
It's true, some seem to always taste the cotton and quit using it because of that. It might be worth mentioning that Miarose also got an off-flavor from at least one of the silicas she had been using, so it's possible IMO that she is somewhat sensitive to wick flavors. I don't know, I would love to be able to give her THE answer but don't know what that is. I personally get really great flavor from micro coils and cotton wicks in my drippers. Essentially the only differences in our set-ups at this point is her mod is a Reo while mine is a tube mech and her atty is an RM2 while mine are direct drippers.
I haven't measured either, but I also use 2mm silica. It might be slightly larger, but it is very close and works great for me.
Does anyone have experience with the Peach Rings or the Jamaican Rum from MBV? I had no idea how cheap it was, and Iv'e read great reviews from multiple websites. Locally they charge $27.50 for a 50ml. I got 80ml for less then that. I'll be getting my liquid from MBV from now on.
I think there was some coffee talk in one of these:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/455618-first-extraction-irish-breakfast-tea.html
i just got some 1mm and .6mm wick. from what my eyes can detect, the wicks are 1mm. i could be wrong, cuz the stock wicks look to be more tightly woven.
i'm wondering if using 2 of the .6mm might help prevent flooding issues. i only use 1 of the stock wicks, and have very slight flooding.

Variables in juice:
1) the base.
a) The PG (percentage, brand, general quality thereof).
b) The VG ( " " " ).
c) Any other ingredients MBV may use in the makeup of their base.
2) The nicotine. (again, percentage, source and general quality are all potential factors. I think this is a less likely culprit, but that's just gut instinct on my part.)
3) The flavorings. (percentage, source, and general quality, again.)
If it were me - and again, this is all just throwing things at the wall with very minimal knowledge of how a reo works - this is the order in which I'd start trying to figure out which variable is the culprit, from the easiest thing to check to the biggest pain:
1) See what other people's experiences are using cotton with MBV juices in mods that are *not* reos. Then, try a different wicking material.
2) If that yields no answers, get your hands on some MBV PG/VG, throw it together in whatever ratio you usually vape, and see what that tastes like - do you get the "sweet cotton" taste from plain, unflavored base? If so, you can get around it by making your own base and throwing MBV flavorings into that.
3) Least likely, maybe it's the flavorings - but since it's *all* MBV juices you've tried, I'm betting it's either the cotton, or the base itself.
I realize this would be a ton of work and hassle, so I'm not saying you should necessarily go out and *do* all this - it would certainly be less of a headache to just vape other juices in your reo and your MBV juice in your other setups. But barring anyone who can point you in the right direction through personal experience, if I were in your situation and I *did* want to troubleshoot the problem, that's how I'd go about it.
I'm going to keep poking around and see if I can find something a little more useful than "Hey, maybe fixing this could be your new project for the next few months!" but in the meantime, maybe some of this will be helpful, if only to inspire someone else who knows more than I do.
omg.
Thanks for the help and ideas Seanchai So let's see. MBV is one of the vendors I've come across where right away the juice hasn't given me any issues or weird reactions. Ahlusion at too high mg, and vaped right away out of the mail gives my mouth a funny feeling, ms. t's (grumble) made my throat feel very tight.I do have a bunch of diy stuff from mbv, but im weary about putting straight pg/vg into it, because then there is NO taste and i fear i'll taste cotton. lol. but that is a great idea. I think when i put my next bottle in my reo i'll put my diy moo juice in and see. Worst that happens is i change the cotton wick again.
I do have some rolled cotton coming from a kind member who said no matter what she tasted the cotton as well, even when boiled, just like me, so I'm going to try that when it arrives.
I'm wondering if there is a sweetener in mbv juices that is what i'm picking up on, or that gets like stuck in the cotton maybe.

Yeah I did have a weird smokey taste with silica, and that happened too the other day when i tried using some in my reo. i heated it up first too with a lighter. but any of the protank coils i get, kanger ones, i've never had that weird taste with. Where is that link to the article about super tasters. lol ithink i need to go read it again.
you guys are great <3

oh, no. its an article about supertasters, someone linked it here a month or so ago.
Mac 'n Cheese with fried Spam cut into cubes and all mixed together is still one of my favorites
OMG yes! This is a guilty pleasure food of mine. I typically would have no use or desire for spam, but mix it in some Velveeta Shells & cheese and I lose all my foodie morals....
Now I'm finally caught up again! Yesterday me and the other half bought a newer car. I'm pretty excited about it. Driving a Suburban for a job that requires a lot of driving made me cry 2-3 times a week at the gas pump 
The car salesman we bought the car from was a vaper. We got to talking about juice so of course I told him about MBV
Sucky thing was when the other half took the trash out later that night he discovered someone stole the temporary tag off the car
that meant filing a police report and tomorrow other half has to go to dealership with said report to hopefully get another paper tag. It's a felony for the person if found, I really hope they find them 
sad thing is one of my neighbors is the chief of police. His house kinda stands out on the block with the marked patrol car parked out front and posted sign about police dog on premise and everything

Couple pages back, actually less than I was expectin'....

I got the 15ml bottle which is 6 parts (what ever a part equates to ? still an odd way of doin' this) and did 50/50 on the flavorings
I was on the fence initially with Peach Rings, but it has actually grown on me, kinda diggin' it now
just ran across this site. prices on clearos and tanks looks to be pretty near awesome.
Atomizers, Cartomizers, Clearomizers
oh, and someone requested some spam:

I hope it gets sorted out. Got the Suburban to haul trailers and gear for camping. Since we've had it we've gone through 2 cars. Now that I've got another car it'll go back to being parked most of the time. When we were car shopping we looked at hybrids but the ones in our area were out of our price range. I'd love to get one eventually. The mpg are phenomenal, great for someone who does a lot of driving.
Spam chopped in tiny cubes fried with sautaied onions & bell peppers, then put into a 3 egg omelet with cheese ,hashbrowns on the side. MMMM food of the gods.
