P.S I am also going to experiment with wrapping a 3mm coil and re- wicking a four length in a Kanger dual coil unit.
Peaches and Creme?........Yarn that is!

Cut your KGD to just about twice as wide of the inside diameter of your coil and roll it....
P.S, If you are rebuilding your kayfun, fold the wick upward and put the chimney barrel back on after threading the wick through the coil and trim the wick to just a wee bit above the barrel. Perfect wick length every time!

I usually make the legs go down and just touch the deck. I'll try the "wick up the chimney" next time. My first build (by the B&M I bought the KF at) was like that. Worked well.
Thanks (again) !
I put the Rayon in a T3s head I have for my CASAA membership drive, just to see if I could wick those with it (already in the Reo's and KF/R91's, and it is da bomb) and it has been the best vape in a Kanger head I've had, great Frenilla flavor, great vapor, and not a single dribble on the battery. Easy to use once you get it in your head you need to use about 1.5X the amount of cotton, enough to where you hold both ends to stretch it and work it into the coil. 500 feet is $12 at Sally's Beauty supply. Big thread in the rebuildable forum right now.
I've been using the P&C for a while now and I really like it. I do microcoils, don't know what diameter they are as they are wrapped on a tattoo needle, Some twisted 28g, some twisted 30g and some just plain 30 g micro. I find it a lot easier for me to get the right amount and fewer dry hits. I use either two or three strands depending on what fits easily through the coil. I never could get the cotton consistent and there was always the cotton taste at first.
I don't use anything but drippers and RM2 and have never tried building a Protank coil, I can see how they might be a bit more tricky to wick though.

O.K We all know that you are the Queen of the Kanger coil rebuild and as stated you didn't care for the Peaches And Crème.
Let me see if I can help you change your mind a bit. We all know that wick burning is usually caused by too thick of a wick through the coils and to little will cause juice pass through on the Kangers. So. because I love to tinker, lets give it a whirl. You already know how to set the coils so no need to go there.
I have been using this since this afternoon with nothing but very clean flavor and no burn what so ever along with massive vapor production. Granted I am using a completely different set up but I used to rebuild the "K" coils for myself and still do for a friend that can't because of mild to severe arthritis and am going to do a handful of coils with this for him.The set up I am using for myself right now is an RDA with dual 3mm coils and four lengths of P&C threaded through each coil. For the "K" coils I am going to use two.
I build in mm so 1/16 = 1.59 mm and 1/32= 1.98 mm inside diameter. Lets use 2mm as an example. I rolled a quick coil and then did a fold over loop and threaded it through the coil and felt it was too tight so, I pulled one strand out of the length, folded it again and it was perfect. For a 1.5, I would imagine I would need to remove one more. I used an left over piece of wire to form the needle.
This picture is for you. Give it another shot and if you still do not care for it, that's O.K too......

I think your coil is smaller than mine but not sure. Two strands and the tanks leaks out so fast, three same, four it is choked as it's too tight to wick well.
I currently have two bags of cotton balls, 159 KGD pads, 5 Shisheido cotton pads and 4 feet if the cellocotton stuff. I received about 6" of P&C yarn and went through all of it trying to get it to work. Not to worry, doesn't sit well with me so I stick with the other things as I have enough wicking stuff to last me years.
Oh and BTW, don't boil the makeup pads as they will disintegrate and become a pan full of loose cotton fluff.
The reason everyone is going after these is because they are even more pure than organic cotton (which use peroxide) and the KGD pads use nothing, very clean, very pure. Of course the cellocotton is even better.
I use 2 strands when I wick the PT coils...I have the same tool Megan uses to make coils...seems to work...sometimes I don't cut the wick right and I get leaking...course I really need to get on rewicking those coils...im a slacker I get about a month on one hehe...but that's cause I don't use those all day, just short parts of a day
Right on Flavored. This is all good stuff. Being an engineer by trade, Its my second nature to solve issues and make things work. I am passionate about everything I do and enjoy the sharing of knowledge and like to train, teach, pass on and share my experience as well and am always open to the reception of the new input.
The goal here is to help the family or for that matter, anyone enjoy that juice to their fullest potential.
I suffered with the stock coil heads when I first got started as most all of us do to the point where I almost gave up because of their inconsistencies. Sure there a good ones and bad ones but ultimately while they were O.K at first, they would rapidly would go down hill from there. I came to despise the burnt flavor of silica and IMHO silica sucks.
Had my experience with Echowool as well and it can be great too but when it burns it is just flat out way too nasty for me.
The reviews I have read on Cellucotton have me intrigued and as mentioned, is my next move, However I do have a few concerns as it is also man made. But if it turns out that it is the end all be all, I will more than likely toss those concerns aside.
Granted that wick burning when vaping is the single most unpleasant thing for most all of us but for me, if its going to burn, I'd rather suck in something from mother earth then something that was developed in a lab.
There is always something new to learn and by us sharing our experiences hopefully we can all get everyone on the road to get the most enjoyment out of the juice.

It is just tightly bound particles of paper really, it's cellulose so a lot more natural than silica or eco wool. I described a dry hit like this:
(On a Dibi or REO when squonking needs to be done before the coil runs dry and you burn your wick)
Cellucotton: *vapevapevapevape* hmmm...the flavor is gone better squonk..."
regular cotton: *vapevapevapevape* "OMG!!!!! YUCKYUCKYUCK....DRY WICK *coughcough* BURNED!!!! MY LUNGS OMFG MY SINUSES AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

OH! Me likes this! Going to pick up a box today.
And DOH! I just realized that I have been referring to this as "Peaches and Crème" rather than " Peaches and Cream". This must be because I have Absolut Crème on the brain!
I have to go because I am heading up to the family place in Sonoma for the weekend with my lovely wife and the three wiener girls but, me thinks a Cellucotton stop is in order along the way......
Remember it does not swell with the juice so use a thicker amount for the coil than you would cotton. And let us know what you think!
Have a fun trip!!

Cotton yarn is so 2 weeks ago. I heard horse tail hair is the next big thing in wicking No seriously, I used it for awhile but I liked cotton better, now I like KGD the best. Yarn makes it easy to just slip right in the coil, perfectly round shape, but I was getting too many burnt hits with it. Havent had a single burnt/dry hit with KGD in my KFL+'s or PT2's. Maybe I just got better with wrapping coils? IDK. I didnt notice too much of a flavor difference between yarn and cotton balls though.

Koh Gen Do is awesome!!!! I got some from Kidney Puncher, I believe..........just to try and those 2 little sheets are going to last me forever.
Here's the thread on the Rayon, lotsa pictures in it on proper wicking:

Anybody that wants to try it, I'll stuff a foot or so into an envelope and mail it to you, just PM the address. Might smush a little, but it will un-smush . . . er . . . de-smush . . . or something.

So I failed in my attempt to pick up the Cellucotton over the weekend however, I just contacted the local Sally Beauty Supply and they are good to go. Going to fire up the putt and make a run in a bit.
Any one in the family using it? A great lady on my crew brought me a skein of it that she picked up form Wally world and I have to say, I'm impressed. Very sweet of her to pick it up for me and a grand little surprise. I thanked her and I told it would reflect on her evaluation.
No Walmart's in San Francisco. The closest is 28 miles away.
I keep hearing about this stuff! I have to give it a try since I heard of Nicoticket the same way and have no regrets...
Do they actually sell it at Walmart or do you have to go to a crafts store of some kind?
