new to cotton - funky taste?

[edalva85]

Been looking for a way to get better flavor out of ky igo L so I started using organic cotton balls as wick today and it tastes super cottony. I heard it is supposed to but when does it go away? I just keep saturating it and firing it hoping it will pass but no luck yet. Have used a good amount of juice and its getting a little frustrating at this point. Cotton should give better flavor than silica right? I'm running one microcoil

When I have this problem its almost always been the coil wrapped to tightly around the cotton. It swells up quite a bit, and its best to let the juice soak in for about 10-15 mins before you start to use a new wick. Sometimes its just the kind of cotton you are using for me that was some off brand q tips I had.

you could also try unbleached rolled cotton batten. I actually have a grip from my short lived cotton days, if you want some PM me

This could definitely be what's happening. The wick is definitely too thick for the coils Ill try making it thinner thanks
