I have 100 on microcoil with cotton

So if I was to start using cotton, from what I understand it has to be changed freuently. How much do you vape it before rewicking?

Think I did like 6 wraps of 30AWG around a 16 gage needle (horizontal build) with hemp for wicking, can't remember the ohms off hand but it vapes rally nice :)

Same question :) Does hemp need to be changed frequently? Also, how is hemp better than silica or cotton?

If you're using a dripper you will be able to tell when it needs to be changed. Color and flavor are big indicators. Gunk build up on your coil, too, means time to dry burn and re wick. Running cleaner juices ie lighter colors , generally last longer for cotton wicks in tanks.

Depends on the liquid. Cinnabun requires replacing the wick every tank. Pb and graham can go 3 or 4 tanks.

I change my cotton every tank or every other tank based on my laziness. it's so cheap and I so amazing fresh that it's worth it.

So far I've only used organic cotton balls. I'm still playing with different coil builds so I've been changing the wick every tank, but other than being soaked in juice it's in 95% perfect condition. I would think with even a 'carto clogger' juice you could use it for a few tanks (I'm using a KFL+, so 4-5mL per tank). Even with as many wicks as I've gone through by changing every time, I'm still on the first cotton ball & you can't even really tell that it's diminished in size yet. That $4 bag of 'premium, organic 100% cotton balls' would last centuries if only used for wicks. The other nice thing is if you're not changing the coil itself, you can pull the old wick & install a new one in a couple seconds. No hassle at all.
