READYxWICK for non cotton people

[Filthy-Beast]

I only get a few floaters when I cut it and none during month after month of use. Frankly I'm more concerned with the effects of coating my lung with VG and PG year aft year than with this wick.

I do mount, fire and squeeze my coil first. I also run the mandrel back through it. At one point I thought RxW had a break in phase and that it gave me a funky taste for a few rounds of burns, but it turns out that was the kanthal and as soon as started firing it before mounting the wick that went away.

Cat claw trimmers work great for trimming RxW with minimum flair.

Open or closed, x-puppy?

(You would be the one to wanna clip the kitties, wouldn't ya, huh?)

Lookin' all playful and sh!!t with those goggles. We got's your game now.

Good luck.

16 gauge blunt tip luer is what I've been using. I cut the taper at about a 45 degree angle with scissors from my leatherman. Get the tip inside then spin and slowly slide it in. Then I cut the long end off. Then I drip juice on it and wait a minute or two.

Here's my coil jig:

I finally got my 2mm into my coil after reading this thread. I was having same problems and then just started winding it into the coil as mentioned and I've been vaping on it since Tuesday

Cool. Check back in in Jan when it's time to change it out

That would be cool! Hubby asked to see the wick at lunch today (nonvapor lol) and he said wow that still looks pretty darn good!

Open scissor type. Fancy Martha Stewart blue kitty claw trimmers... "Bark-bark".

I dont fire my coils at all - i just blowtorch the wire before i make it.

I used to do that to take the spring out of higher gauge wire, but i don't use that anymore, so now i say i do it if HRH asks, to make sure there's no machine oil on the kanthal.
That's a lie and i really do it because i like flashing the blowtorch around! When it's time to clean the wicks before re-use i'm also quite happy because that's blowtorch time again!

I'm sold on this stuff and will be buying more. Tried it in an RM2 that had juice lacking flavor even with Kenny G cotton wick I just put in yesterday. The vape was so much better that I wicked the other two with it. The results are amazing, I may not even bother trying to torch it for reuse.

Smart move! We wouldn't want to have problems threading it.

Good luck.

I'm wondering if this would work well with genesis style attys that I struggle with using cotton. Should work great right? I'm going to order some more 3mm and 2mm this time and give a try.

I did a build in an AGA-T dual coil about a year ago and it worked quite well. I built the coils first and threaded the wick through the coil down into the tank. If memory serves me correctly I used Nextel 316 which would translate to the thick 3mm RxW. It wicked quite well but I still had to do a little genisis tilt, though not nearly as much as when using SS mesh or cable.

I think one of the nicknames for this method is called the "Tribble".

I've been using 3mm in my Kraken for months, it works very well. I ran the RXW first, then inserted a paper clip and wrapped an ugly coil.

Interesting, I just wrapped a 7/64 coil horizontal but it doesn't look like the 3mm wick will fit through the base holes. So, I was thinking I should use a smaller ciol and order some 2mm.

 

[Clark F]

And one of the attys is a Kracken the other an RSST. I guess I could push it through with a paper clip and then cut the frayed ends.

 

[Walter Ego]

I cut the RXW at an angle then screwed it through the deck holes. The same way as through a coil, first removed the glass then up through one and down the other so I only had to cut the angle once. It has lasted months but then I don't vape it much.

 

[Clark F]

Thanks, first attempt was unsuccessful. I'll try again tomorrow, thanks for the help.

 

[Clark F]

Couldn't get it to work so I went ahead and ordered both sizes today. The 3mm is just to big for the deck holes, the 2mm should be just right.

The 3mm works fantastic in gennys ..... that what I originally ordered it for back before this thread started. A day after I put it in a genny I thought dammmm I have to get this stuff going on my REOs.

EDIT: I see you must have a genny with smaller wick holes .... my 3mm has plenty of room in my Zens once i pull out that stupid insulator.

You can give the ekowool to me if you need to get rid of it.
