Using a natural fibre as a wick in e-cigarettes

[Diver]

I have tried regular cotton as wick in a eGo-C atomizer .( the feeding part )
I had good results .I made about 10 ml with that wick and stop the experiment. I thought it was just a "weekend solution" .
Is it really safe ? I mean the products of burning cotton when the cotton dries by mistake or hard use.

Is it really safe ?

At first, let's remember how much tobacco you burned and ihaled daily for many years of smoking, then comapre amount of cotton ( which contains almost no tar) in a wick and amount of tobacco (and it's tar) in a single cigerette....

by statistics collected for half a year ,probability of wick burnout is extremely low. at first you feel a slight smoke-like taste, which gives you a signal to add a liquid. Last record reported was 3 weeks uptime of bamboo yarn wick.

so make your own conclusions...

I have use fibbers from cotton gauze with great behaviour .
The only problem was to disassemble the fibbers from the gauze.
I changed resistance every week in eGo-C heads and the wick was in better condition than it was with fibreglass.
Today I bought my first rebuiltable atomizer (LSE) .
I think fibreglass wick belongs to the past for me.
Thanks EvilGrym for this great thread.

I have just redone a wick with NU Gauze from Johnson and Johnson 100% sterile cotton. The stuff is very easy to work with. Is there any reason I shouldnt use this for a wick?

I have been using 100% cotton worsted weight yarn and it works great. The worsted weight yarn is nice a fluffy and wicks like a champ. I am thinking of trying bamboo and or silk as wick material. silk should handle the temp better then the cotton.

There should be a way for people to sticky important links or posts in a given thread, that would be very helpful in threads like this with people asking the same question over and over. Sorry to ask, does anyone have a link for some good quality bamboo material for wicks? Thanks in advance

Lol tar and carcinogens cotton will not burn when wet!.I have been using a cotton candle wick for 10 days now and still doing great. This is what i use and would recommend to anyone wanting to try cotton. Amazon.com: Cotton Square Braid Candle Wick - #1/0: Arts, Crafts & Sewing
