From the research I have done, you should order the 1/16" nextel. In other words xc 116 on the omega site. I made a purchase from them last night and will keep peopl updated on how it works. I have read all of the concerns and usage and precautions and "heat treating" involved with using this material. If anyone is curious as to this material, the info is located under the iatty thread.
I've been happily using cotton yarn for awhile, with good success.
Me too, I am using cotton yarn right now in my Odysseus ala MrKrinkle's method, 3 yarns of #8 100% cotton yarn, the trick is to not tight the coil around the yarn, I think it expands a little with the liquid.
guys, dont forget that grabbing negative wire under the top nut still works exellent on penelope like it works on Ody short mode. 3ml liquid doesnt have much weight to make penelope leak. Actually it works more than good. Keep this in mind too.

Is there another Penelope video besides the one where Imeo's microphone was broken?
I purchased bamboo yarn and 100% cotton yarn and never tried it. Anything special you do to prepare this kind of wick?
Me too!! I want to know as well. Hi Huff, can you send me a link for yarn?
Thanks,
Chris
I bought it at Michael's Craft Store - Lily Sugar n Cream 100% cotton and Aunt Lydia's for bamboo but no longer have the label.
I have noticed that cotton yarn very easily absorbs any substance is on hands (body cream for example), so be sure to wash you hands (and make sure there is not soap odor in your hands) before work with the cotton yarn.
Maybe you could boil it before use, just in case.
Do no wrap tight the coil around yarn.
You can try also with 100% cotton gauze, cut it and roll to the proper size.
I use 2 strands of #3 cotton yarn with SS mesh wrapped around it at the coil. My coil is 32 ga nichrome at 1.4 ohms, with an 18650 battery.
It is working as well as any thing I've used, and I've tried a lot of wick materials.
I can't back it up with fact, but I feel its the cleanest, least likely to shed dangerous fibers wick that I have used. Its completely different than the flame resistant silica's or fiberglass and ceramic wicks, if you light it on fire it burns to a fine ash. But if its kept saturated, it wicks wonderfully and efficiently, and its incredibly cheap and readily available any where.

Hey guys im new to the gg section and thread, i dont know if anyone asked this question already, but will the penelope be compatible to the ggts? what type of connection does it have? Thanks
i will send 1m of wick and 1 premade wire so you need more stuff than this PR. Bruce will have more wires but better to ask him about this. As for the width of the resistance wire I suggest 0,15mm

Thanks Imeo!!! [/FONT]
V2 cap allows you to use longer 510 attys and your choice of drip tip. You can use regular size 510's with a 510 atty extender. With this you would not use the V2 cap but instead use original Delrin tip. Hope this helps.
