ok my smart friends! i got some cotton coils in a trade today. popped it into my pt2, let it sit. tried to get it going, and ended up tasting icky. so i washed out the head just to make sure i hadn't (already) burned it. i'm not sure how much cotton there is supposed to be in the coil. the coil looks very large/wide circumference. looks like this: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...vapor-flavor-th-10-wrap-microcoil-protank.jpg

but once it got wet with juice it shrinks down and flattens alot. i tried to fluff it up a little, and then put it back in my tank. it's hitting ok now. does this sound normal? does it just take a little bit more time to get a cotton wick going?

maybe i need to start thinking about bottom feeders? i've never used a standard atomizer, so i dunno where to start. ugh. wicks are just really starting to annoy me

Looks about right. I prime the cotton with 3/4 drops and then put the tank on and wait about 30 mins for absorption before using it. Bottom feeders are a luxury, I figure when I hit the 1 year mark I will have endured enough hardship that I will truly enjoy the effortless system. $200 is a lot to drop on a mod :)

I did buy a MVP 2.0 today, $43 at Vape 101, sweet deal.

I have been hoarding for a while also, and recently decided to try to use up some of the older stock just to clear out some space. But after a while those get old and I need some cinnamon roll, thug juice, or hawk sauce. It's slow going but the bottle stash is increasing so maybe I should start DIY.

My Razzleberry from April lost some of it's razzle dazzle but I can PIF.
It still tastes good but I have too much invested in flavors I like better to try to finish off stuff I don't love

This Butterscotch +1 from late April (in my 5ml Victory) that I'm vaping ATM is still perfect :vapor:

What about black Friday and cyber Monday sales?

That and will try different sizes for Evod and PT2 flavor wicks if the 3mm is too thick...

I use 3 mm Silica in Evods .TS3sand AROs and no flavor(?) wicks . I am one of those who refers to flavor wicks as flavor blankets which serve only to moot the flavors but then I stay below 8 watts and mostly 5-1/2 to 7 watts and 80 / 20 to 60/40 PG VG.






Itwas 36F here this morning and afew more perhaps cooer moring forcasted . Every year winters bother this aging body more and more . No wonder so many retire to warmer areas.

o_O i didn't wait 30 mins LOL. i got really frustrated because it didn't seem to be wicking how i wanted, so i actually dumped my pt2.. i seem to have better luck in mini's and they seem to last longer. so i'm gonna give it a try. i dunno about those cotton wicks.. ugh

It's the only thing I use in my Protanks, but I prefer ekowool in my RDA's because I don't have to worry about getting a mouth full of burnt cotton. If you stick with cotton you will find that it does gunk up pretty fast, my wicks last about two tanks before I need to switch out the cotton.

I saw Mt Baker mentioned on another thread as having really good prices..and they do! Wow! I just placed an order with them on flavors that I have been curious about, Bubble Gum and Hawain Punch. Something a bit different for me. In the past I tried a Mt Dew (from a different vendor) that I really didn't care for..so why not try another beverage here. I'll find out if I enjoy the flavors as well as the prices.

Got absinthe and hawk juice yesterday from mbv. Yuck. But I'll set them aside for a couple weeks to let them steep, then revisit. I prefer out of the bottle good juices!

I just got menthol 555 please tell me the menthol will tone down abit. Good lord it is so strong it burns. I mostly only use menthols and love menthol but this stuff is so overly strong I can't vape it. Hopefully after a few weeks it will dissipate if not I buses I will add it to a 30 ml of just 555.

I usually mix stuff that I find is too strong. I do not like to wait and see how it will mellow out
