The $40 I'm not spending by resisting the urge to buy an MVP 2.0 is $40 more in my ProVari fund!

(I'm truly awed by the genius of my own logic!

Hi Mad

I don't think you necessarily *have* to but supposedly it will whiten it up considerably ...

Here is one cleaning procedure recommended by someone who has used hemp ( as wicking material :) ) for a while now:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First and for most I would go through the hemp and pull out all the woody looking pieces and dark fibers while the hemp is dry and easy to pull apart and sort through.

Then....
Hand wash with a dish detergent like dawn or etc.
Rinse
Soak in oxyclean for 6+ hours
Rinse
Boil 15min
Rinse
HP&BS
Rinse
Boil 30min
Rinse
Boil 30min
Rinse
Boil 30min
Rinse
Pull apart and pat dry with paper towels
Dry using either the microwave or clothes dryer.


I know it sounds like a long and huge pita, but the end results are worth it IMHO. It really didn't seem that bad to do. I really think the oxyclean and HP&BS are key, I really noticed the color change after the oxyclean soak.

Dare I ask what HP&BS stand for?

Man, my friends (hubby & wifey) saw my vape gear this past weekend and the wife says to me, "Yeah, that all just looks like sketchy paraphernalia." If I ever get the urge to try hemp, I'm just not gonna tell anyone outside of ECF. :D

I'm SO off to bed...nite, snails!
