Re-flavor wicking EVOD atomizers. To loop or not to loop?

[mattborkin]

Hey all,

After rinsing and reusing my atomizers, the housing and main coil wick survive just fine, but my flavor wicks usually fray badly, or get washed away on accident. So, I started putting my own flavor wicks.

My question is, is it advantageous to use a single strand of wick and loop it back, or to actually have 2 separate pieces? The loop is much quicker to make, and seems that it actually may wick a bit more juice.

I've attached a pic comparing the 2 styles.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Matt!

If the loop works for you I'd keep trying it out. I think the only difference if you're using the same amount of wick with the loop or 2 strands would be the 2 strands would offer 4 ends and a potentially minute more amount of surface area to wick. Thats just my thoughts, though. I never even thought of just looping it back around like that.

I've thought about looping them around, but never do. I make them like that, and then snip them even with nail clippers. If it works, then you might as well keep doing it
