scissors for wicking

[macis]

is there any particular type of scissors that is better for trimming ur cotton?

Sharp ones. I buy from fasttech and one of the items I got was thrum scissors because they are small and sharp. I have a similar pair for cutting threads while sewing. The ones I use for sewing are fancier, more expensive, overkill for cutting wick material.

i bought sm local, but it happened that its either not sharp enough, or its too tight. i was thinking of getting a pair of surgical scissors..

Agreed with above, nice and sharp small scissors. Nail scissors work well.

I use some larger scissors which are fine for general purposes, but are not so good for RTA wicks where a snip close to the coil is needed. For some reason the larger scissors only seem to cut cleanly close to the handle.

Holy ________! Those are definitely the scissors they had in mind when they came up with the 'don't run with scissors' rule!

I think I just cut myself looking at them.
To be fair they do look ideal for our purposes and cheap cheap cheap.

I got a pair of these from Hobby Lobby. They're small and sharp as hell! They're really good for getting into tight spaces (like when wicking an RM2 or Chalice.

Here is the skew I ordered from fasttech. $1.27 Precision Stainless Steel Thrum Scissors at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping I paid for the more expensive ones just in case there is a quality difference. The cost difference is trivial. I believe any order more than $20 gets free shipping. I use the free shipping option. Fasttech has all the little bits and pieces like drip tips, rubber orings, etc. I buy rda's from them too.

I use a pair of lexan scissors that I use for trimming the bodies on my R/C cars and they are curved and extremely sharp and work great for trimming cotton.
