The janitor where I work will never even know that I removed little pieces of her 5ft wide dust mop. Here is what I did with them.View attachment 120501

new, unused, untreated cotton

Don't keep us in suspense, is the world dust mop supply in danger? In other words is the vaping worth the vandalism?

Gee, Did I forget to say that with all the mods that I have done with the nova the cotton wicks seems to have ended my quest. It works very well, now to mod something else.

What's the procedure for dry burning with cotton wicks without burning them?

[dwcraig1]

Replace with new one would be my guess as the wick would probable burn in half.

no need to dry burn cotton. Dry burns came into being because of the so called "Primer fluid" that new CE2s came with as a way to get it off the wick so you didn't vape that mystery fluid. Then it evolved as a way to burn off the gunk from around the coil.

Wow, lots of good info here! Think I'll try ss mesh first.

I was going to try to rebuild a head... By page 11 of this post, I realized I am too low speed for this forum. I will spend the $3.

There seems to be a lot of knowledge in this thread and I thought maybe someone could help. I have been using kanthal a1 32 gauge and experimented with cotton and silica wicks. Depending on the amount of coils i wrap, I can get anywhere from 2.0 to 2.8 resistence. I get great vapor production but little flavor. It is very muted with both types of wicks. The only thing I have not yet tried is doing the twist with the legs of the wire. What exactly does that do? Do you think it will improve the flavor?

doubling the legs keeps the coil legs from glowing and burning the rubber isolation grommet,when this happens you get a muted off taste from a combo of rubber burning and vaping hot coil legs... would definatelly give it a shot, that and try a stainless wick

Depending on your juice,,, sometimes a muted flavor is caused by an over saturated or flooding wick. Bigger is not always better.

Anyone have a link to the curved wick tutorial mentioned in post 50? Have been looking for it for the last half hour and not getting anywhere. Thanks

How does the gunk buildup and the need to burn it off change with cotton.?

At the price of rebuilding I don't bother... I just whip up a new coil and wick.

Also, depending upon your setup, you can sometimes dry burn the cotton wick until you can pull it out, finish burning the gunk off the coil (if necessary,) then fish a new wick through the coil. Cotton expands quite a bit when wet, so it can be a bit smaller than the inside coil diameter, unlike silica.
