Just the taste is a little off. I think the cotton is giving me a headache The cuts are healing ok not going to be fully healed by Monday though

Not sure what cotton you're using, but the sterile type gave me troubles too (off taste and headaches). However organic cotton balls don't bother me at all.

i have used cotton from a (unused before you all flame me!) q-tip that languished in the bottom of a handbag. I was stuck in an hotel and forgot my wick supplies!

Worked ok for a day - like all cotton. If i am ever stranded on a desert island without Ursula Andress to sing the mango song with, then q-tips are the business!

Ok so now I want to try ekowool in my RM2. Can you wick it thru like you do cotton using darkzero's jig???

Yes, not nearly as easy as feeding through a micro as cotton but Ekowool is all I use in my Reos & builds for friends.

Beautiful coils though DZ - you made those on your jig? and my question - i would like one to wrap R41 on a 1/8" bit please.

T

No, I did those before I made the jig (pictured below). Wrapped around the same music wire that I use in the jigs. With the jig there's no need to even torch the Kanthal first.

I can make one fit 1/8" but I don't have that size, largest that has ever been requested is 3mm & I still have some. R41 is what I specifically made the jig for, it just happended to make everything else much easier.
