Rayon Wick - Better Flow, Flavor, Longevity, and Nic Hit!! - Pt.2

@Chuck64-- You might want to invest in a decent pair of cuticle shears just for tail trimming.

this is so true,, and I might add,, get a 'fine' set of shears,, I see so many people using large scissors and not being able to get a fine defined cut. (which is what you want as time goes on).

my best pair came from the beauty/pharma section of the grocery store.. $8,, probably lower elsewhere,, but these are a really good pair of scissors so I have no regrets.

Mine are a curved set of scissors. Found at Walmart in the material section. Fiskers tiny scissors. With a curved edge and orange handle. About 7 bucks

These are what I use and they work great.

that's a good set and small. I think mine are close to 5inches,, a little longer blade with wide finger rings.

Those are the ones

Hmmm. Right now, Provaris are running 29.95 to 39.95. Just curious, but at what point would they not be overpriced?

Yep, they've had some ridiculous sales on blems lately... Still not my cup o' tea, but definitely not a bad deal!

I use these thread nippers and they work great. Very inexpensive and very sharp!

I like those,, gives me an 'old school' vibe

 

[DavidOck]

Have to be old school. Nowadays, pointed things aren't allowed

 

[awsum140]

I tried those nippers, thaya, but the blades are far too broad to get in close on an Aromamizer or even a Fogger. I'm using a pair of Fiskars, thin pointed right now and am waiting for a pair of "tower tipped" cuticle shears.

I thought these would be really nice: Gingher Knife Edge Thread Nippers

I've used these, and really liked them. Unfortunately, I had to give them back to their owner.
Gingher Embroidery Scissors

These just seemed apropos... Japanese Coil Wrapped Thread Nippers

Wow! All three are great!!!!!


I'm a Fiskars kind of woman. They just work. <nodding>

 

[DavidOck]

You just like 'em cause it rhymes with whiskers

 

[Katdarling]

Ya got me there, Mr. Ock. I do like whiskers.

 

[Kaezziel]

Wow you've got it covered!

Hahahaha... yeah, I'm a regular fountain of knowledge.
I have been doing the 'vape thing' for quite a while now, though... Actually, I use a pair of small scissors that are similar to the embroidery scissors. I just really like the ones that I linked. Might have to order those and see which ones I like best.

Fiskars are nice scissors... I have more than a few pairs of Fiskars lying around the house for general purpose use. The little Gingher embroidery scissors that I used and liked were actually my Grandma's. I was over at her house and needed to trim a wick... those things were smooth and sharp, and the tiny little blades fit into all the nooks and crannies.

 

[markfm]

For fine trimming a small pair of diagonal cutters works well. I have a set that's never been used on wire, just on wick.

I have and use the little embroidery scissors, they are great for trimming wicks with
And you can get them at Wal-Mart

2.2 ohms at 20 watts. Scratching my head.
I've been at this since fluval went to blue foam. Then protank single coils with silica, bdc's, bvc's, gennies with cotton, then rayon. Long time 2+ ohms at 8 or so watts, MTL air flow. Tried a Rogue dripper with single and dual coils down to 1.2 as all my mods would only go that low. Didn't see the excitement. Got a Subox mini kit, didn't like the .5 ohm setup. Did find that 1.5, and 1.2 stock coils worked well with 18 watts and more airflow. Liked the ease of making vapor without having to work at MTL style draw. Somewhere between MTL and DTL. Settled in at around 1 ohm and 22 watts with the rba head.
Recently got a Theorem and Avocado. Coiled the Theorem for the wife at 2.2 ohms (air flow about half open). She didn't use it so I took it. Decided to put it on my SVD2 and started going up the watts. 18 was good and finally maxed it out at 20. It works as well as the 1 ohm stuff.
I don't think I'll ever understand this stuff and the trends we see.

You guys don't use a bullwhip to trim your wicks?

Safety goggles are a must!
