Anyone else had issues with vapor production from peaches and creme? Was really excited to try it, loaded up my kfun lite with yarn and a 1.6ohm wrap, and got MINIMAL vapor. I get huge clouds using cotton balls. Thoughts?

Never used the yarn, I use cotton and on some units Silica. Some folks swear by the yarn though Are you getting any dry hits or just no vapor production?
Seems like there might be a couple of issues here. I think peaches n cream is the desired color because it's unbleached and undyed (or at least undyed). But then there's the material. Yarn is made of all kinds of materials, most of which would make rotten wicks.
If you've got cotton yarn, I have seen people say it wicks really slow. Also, yarn may be treated with sizing that might make it suck and may be unsafe to inhale. A boil or soak in water might help.

^ peaches and cream is s brand of 100% cotton yarn found at Walmart.
The thing with yarn is it is spun tightly which makes the cotton a lot more dense. So you will have to play with the amount you use to get a comparable effect to a cotton ball wick.
I use both yarn and cotton balls on Kayfuns and drippers without a discernible difference between the two wicks.

I've been using Peaches & Cream yarn exclusively with my Kayfuns for a few months now and I really love it. I find it easier to put through a coil than a piece of cotton ball and it tastes just as great. I shoot for 1.3ohm builds using 28awg Kanthal and it's been working great for me. I'm not a cloud chaser, so it's not like I'm trying to get a ton of vapor to win a contest or anything, but I haven't noticed that it produces less than using a cotton ball, Ekowool, or silica.
I use peaches and cream and love it! I like the flavor a lot better than silica and cotton balls. Haven't noticed any decrease in vapor though.
i have been using it for a while, you have to make sure not to have the yarn too tight in the coils because it will choke the wicking, it wicks tighter than regular cotton i have found.
put the yarn through loose enough to slide it around, then with a needle or like, and fluff it out inside the coil.

You've already gotten some good answers. Sorry I have never tried yarn but I have read some very positive things about it. The cotton is good and cheap too.
