My new genesis setup (cotton brain)

[BWhare]

Isn't this kinda like a new generation zippo?

When the old part gets tired, just pull it up and clip off the dead stuff - until you run out and then you go through the five minute hassle of putting in a new one. (well, that's what I always did with my zippos until I got into butane).

I've read there's good cotton yarn and not so good cotton yarn. Can somebody tell me what is the good? Or I've heard of cvs rolled cotton. Same thing?

And if you use yarn. Boil it?

Thanks

100% cotton is what you want. Some "cottony" things may have synthetic fibers mixed in. You can burn a swatch to make sure. If you get ashes = good. If you get black goop = bad. And boiling is good.

I get my yarn at walmart. Peaches and cream white. I do a double boil before using.

go for the CVS rolled cotton. no boiling necessary- its sterile (made for deep wounds where sterility is a must). a lifetime supply is like $5. better than yarn for sure. enjoy.

Thanks all. I didn't make it to CVS but got to Walmart and got the peaches and cream white 100% cotton yarn. Do I need to boil it?

I think I'm going to get the sterile rolled anyway. But in the meantime I'll use the yarn
