Morning
(notice my 'like' of FranCy's 'Good Morning' post, tibs?

)
I've been pretty much using cotton wicks exclusively since last ~June (CVS "Rolled Cotton"). I've only burned one wick (maybe two) and that was when I was attempting to drip

Used them in top-coils; bottom-coils; even in the ChID (which is basically a top-coil

). Even with my simple peppermint
juice, the wicks do discolor due to juice residue build-up; but I've found it quite easy to just pull out the old wick and put in a new one.
I limit my liquid intake to Mt Dew; with an occasional glass of
water. If I was guaranteed (barring accidents) an additional 10+ yrs of healthful life from giving up my Mt Dew, I might consider it

. Truthfully, unless someone proves living on water and lettuce will make you immortal; I'm eating and drinking what I like

.
