Hey,

I've been noticing that after a clean and dry burn of the stock protank coil with the stock flavour wicks, performance drops off again real quick. I've taken to replacing the flavour wicks each time with 2mm ekowool, and wow, what a difference. That stuff wicks really well, and outperforms the stock flavour wicks.

My question is regarding the fragility of the braiding of the ekowool. The first time I ever used the ekowool was hilarious, I must have wasted 50mm of the stuff. I snipped a short span of it and it just unbraided into 50 seperate threads which were just unusable. I finally figured out a method of wetting the stuff with eliquid and having the ekowool clamped down with the centre post before cutting, but was still not satisfied with the tidiness of the result. The ends were still badly frayed.

Do any ekowool users have any tips? Maybe I should torch the stuff before attempting to use it, or something.
