Silica wick VS Cotton

[justdoeit]

If you can't get the cotton out, all you have to do is keep firing. Dry burn out all the liquid, then the cotton will start to burn too. You can actually get the cotton cut in half this way (it'll burn the part in the coil leaving to ends to pull out)

If you are building with cotton and you taste cotton (or an "off" taste) your wick is too thick. Try a less dense wick.

I highly HIGHLY recommend Koh Gen Do Japanese organic cotton. It is the easiest I've used to make the perfect wick. You simply snip off a piece, just twist up the tip (leave the rest alone) and pull it thru your coil.

If it binds at all when your pulling it thru it's too thick.

After using the KGD cotton I wouldn't use the CVS again unless there was an emergency and I couldn't get any more KGD.

Here's a vid I made on it

I also use rayon and mix it up between KGD and rayon.

Again, if you can taste anything but your juice the cotton is too thick

Have to say, I'm devoted to cotton and just ordered some of the Koh Gen Do, looks much easier for genesis builds as well.
