Thanks and thanks. That was just regular JOC. It was just wicking almost too well. Kinda weird. It's fine now.
Ha! I guess I was trying to demonstrate how easy it could be. I swear to gawd that I had never even attempted a quad coil. This one took me about 10 minutes.
Just a heads up for anyone who tries VCC and doesn't like it, I will take it off your hands gladly. I'm not feeling the bacon v2 it doesn't last worth a damn and tastes like poo. I'd rather use native wicks then that, least it lasts some what longer.

Really? I'm surprised, I don't get any taste from either one and I don't get any spit back from the bacon but I got a mouthful of juice for the first time ever using the vcc in my aeolus v2. Do you wick it the same as regular cotton? Maybe I have it too tight or too loose or something but so far I'm not really liking it.
I'm not downing it or anything I'm starting to realize it's almost a preference. Just like people like certain juices and some don't ya know. Just for me VCC is it, I'm not sure why but it just works for me and works well. The bacon v2 was nice at first but after a couple days it wasn't tasting right and I had it in 4 different set ups. I try not to make it too tight inside the coil, but not too loose either, its hard to explain sorry lol I'm surprised you don't like it honestly, different strokes I guess.

to improve ramp up time on claptons I made without knowing a staged heat build, just found out.
the idea is to use 2 types of coils, one that heats much faster than the clapton so it will work while the clapton is waking up...
here is a video that I've just found

Yea, I rewick every couple days anyways so don't really notice. I don't have a problem with the taste or longevity though, it just doesn't seem as absorbent, like it doesn't hold onto the juice as well. If you say it's good though, maybe it's my wicking job, i'll have to mess around with it some more.
Maybe you just like what you like ya know lol I think everyone has there own thing that's there go to wicking material. I've tried a bunch of them and don't like them as much so maybe it's just me who knows. Leave it up to me to like the only one that's the most expensive lol.

I also like the taste and cleanliness of the VCC but, I seem to find myself wasting it trying to get a proper wick thickness. Something about the fine-ness of the silky threads that makes what looks to be a thicker wick isn't that thick.
I had the same problem when I first got it but now that I'm on my 4th jar it's almost expected and not as hard. Plus I normally always wrap the same diameter coil so I'm used to it now. But you are right about it being a pain at first but the more and more you use it it'll be like 2nd nature to you.

Yea, I do remember when wicking it it didn't have the give like normal cotton, kinda had to get the diameter of the wick exactly right to fit through the coils. I'll have to mess with it some more.
What I like about VCC is that there are no cotton boogers or pregnant pieces and if you misjudge the width of the cotton you first pull out, adding some more (hair?) too it is easy. I find it less wasteful where the CB is cool and all, but many more pieces I find to be more finicky to get smoothed out and consistent. It's all cotton though.
It is NOT all cotton!!!! How dare you, this is angel hair! Lol jk. What you do is exactly what I do, pull a tiny bit off and make it fit into the diameter of my coil.

I started doing something similar with my fused claptons. By similar, I mean that I'm putting the second wire inside the clapton. Running one now with fused 26ga (one wire nichrome80, one wire SS316L) wrapped in 34ga nichrome80.
I've added hair. Thought it might not work as well not being monolithic but, it works fine. Have some in the Manta today, tasting fine!
Having said that, I am still more of a fan of KGD. Don't know why, but I am about tired of all this loose cotton all over the place. I like pads. It's my kinda tidy.
It's time for me to get some Nichrome 80. I know there are differences and you have to approach it differently than Kanthal, but it's still time.
Nichrome is all I use anymore, I love it! Especially the 80. I haven't used kanthal in I can't tell you how long.

I'm with you guys on the cotton is just cotton but there is a difference in the different types, have you ever slept on egyptian cotton bed sheets? They are like silk sheets, look like them, feel like them, I love those sheets! They are way different than normal cotton sheets. I wonder if the supima is the same kinda thing. Can't believe y'all got me talking about bed sheets now lmao
I have them too lol there awesome. I think there all different too, very slight but they are there.
