If you talk to gotalot and Hawk, they will tell you cotton is king. Try it for yourself, cheap option, get some sterile rolled cotton at the pharmacy (or cotton balls). Just keep in mind that cotton is thirsty and expands like crazy. I think gotalot has a good vid on rolling a microcoil and a cotton wick on the Igo-L.

I went on a cotton run, but to be honest, I only like some liquids on cotton. Hawks DIY is mixed at 33mg or something crazy so I am sure he can't taste anything but his liquid - but in lighter vapes (like Nicoticket fruits) the cotton does a number on the flavor.

Silica is a great bet. I linked a guy on the nicoticket facebook that offers good quality silica cheap. He also offers A-1 Kanthal. I only keep 32gu and 28gu on hand myself... I know there are plenty that play with 30gu and 34gu but I haven't got any experience there.

Another option, to make things more complicated, is Hemp Twine. That's down the road for you though. H1N1 tastes great on hemp, as do other net tobaccos I've tried (including Boba's Bounty, KY4, and Halo Prime 15)

Get high quality silica - I have concerns about the cheap stuff that flakes off and has the potential to land in your lungs.

I am a cotton and igo-l ...... Guilty as charged! I prefer cotton to silica and ecowool but that's my personal taste. I chain vape and cotton has some awesome wicking power which leads to no dry hits and the flavor is outstanding. I am back to using only enough to have one side of the wick on the deck. I think to much plays with the overall airflow and takes longer for the wick to break in. Again, my personal opinions.

My Reo came into today but beings I worked last night, I didn't get to the post office in time to sign for it so bright and early Monday morning, I will be waiting in the bushes for the mail lady to open up the post office. What can I say, she has something I want!

RBAs is the best way. I fought getting one for the longest time because putting in a coil takes better eyes than I have and having arthritis makes it worse. I was given a A7 then a reomiser and found a work around to my problems and now I'll never buy a atty again. Several friends send me coils @ different Ωs. That's my work around...pity.

Ummm....in that first sentence you could have omitted "cotton and Igo-l".....
But that's why I love me some Gotalot....
Sup buddy?

Suppers calling. I'm as clean and good smelling as I get. Time to hit it.
Probably get hit with 3-4 rocks just going to the pub.....
Oh yeah.......these Cali babes are digging OL Hawk......lol

Doing good considering this is my weekend to work. How's Cally treating you? Are you going to stay and run for mayor of San Diego?

CP,
I have/had the old CB formula, so I can't say for sure is the carmel/sugar sweetner is causing the coil challenges for you. But you mentioned maybe your running it to high? What voltage/watts are you vaping your CB at. I was using a 2.2 ohm coil at 4.0 to 4.5 with no gunking for an entire 15ml sample bottle (again old formula). This would equate to 7.2 to 9.2 watts.

Maybe someone with the improved formula can chime in.

I honestly haven't had any issues with gunking, or had any reported until now. Resistance jumping is a short, usually - especially a big jump. You might have some jiggle in your coil (yes, I just said jiggle, Hawk, tee off now). HAHA This might be (another) good reason to ditch that lighter caramel.

Everyone except a few very early adopters (#195 and before)has the same caramel (the lighter one). Our initial testing with the one most people have was good, and it steeped out 4 weeks just fine, so we ran with it. The darker was much more expensive for me to purchase, but I am putting it in the bottle anyway (going forward). Everyone should expect to receive the darker one in the pre-order and going forward...

Thanks for all the feedback. After all I wrote there, I can't believe I didn't even mention the wattage I was vaping at. :facepalm: Well, my coil being all over the place, I can't be sure of wattage, but I had started off right around 3.5v on a 1.5ohm atty, which is where I was comfortably enjoying the CLS at. I might've tried to go up a couple volts to test it, but I quickly realized it was a lot more delicate and couldn't handle the same heat as CLS so I dropped to around 3.4v. But perhaps by then the damage was already done (and the caramel had been scorched on the coil). By the time I started seeing problems, I was all the way down to 3.2, and then even 3.0v, though the atty wasn't hitting at all anymore by that point. Of course, the droppage in ohms, even as I was dropping the voltage, would've kept the atty hitting hotter than intended. I guess that in starting off so high to begin with (which as I said is where I was enjoying CLS at) the caramel must've crystallized on my coil right off and everything just went downhill from there. :(

Today, I've since cleaned out that atty, ran it through some everclear again, and it's back to hitting like a champ--no shorts, tested on multimeter and back at 1.5-1.6ohm--though I haven't yet dared to put CB back near it again just yet. Since it sounds like my batch has the lighter caramel, I'll keep it away from my LR attys for now I guess.

Cali ladies love me.....5 more rocks thrown on my way back from dinner......
I'd run for mayor but some guy named Weiner threw his " hat" into the ring....maybe....
Can't compete with a guy named "Weiner".....lol....

Sup Gota?
Sorry the REO is delayed.
Maybe you can contact Jake for a diversion to pass the time?
Ask for the world famous "Malcome foot rub"...lol.....(I probably spelled Malcome wrong again).....

I like Betelgeuse much better. Fruit Fly just wasn't cutting it - doesn't do justice to this wonderful elixir for some reason. I'm vaping it right now as I write this and greatly enjoying it....which reminds me, I gotta get on there and order some paste! I'm going through CLS and Beetle...errr, Fruit Fl.....errrrr, Betelgeuse like crazy, they've become my co-ADVs. I never thought 6 ml tanks could drain so quickly!

Keep seeing references to "paste"....and you would think I should know what that is.
Would ask Clark Kent but figure he's holed up somewhere scary/divine/no....scary....

Paste????
Enlighten me Cactus......

I think it is a joke from another forums but I may be wrong. I will allow Kent to chime in on this one.

They are replacing a major piece of equipment so the plant has to shut down. Nice new avi btw!

Thanks for noticing...
One of the few computer tricks I actually know how to do:D

I need you young guys to teach me more.....but if I knew how to link/upload...etc....I'd probably M-bare-... the whole community...lol..
Good to see you around.....other than taking a week off...sup up????

I took your recommendation and watched Beautiful Creatures tonight with Katy. It was, interesting - some nice special effects for sure. What did you think?

Perkins Paste, it's a joke product on the website - one of the guys from AVF wrote me a sales copy for school glue that is widely available in Australia. I always joke about it. It's turned into a running joke of sorts. There's a video on the Nicoticket website about eating paste that is right up your alley Hawk... HA
