3. I just started experimenting with removing the stock silica wicks from my clearos/tanks and inserting a cotton wick through the stock coil. You gotta be careful not to mess up the stock coils though... Depending on the brand, some coils seem sturdier and are wound looser around the stock wick and therefore are easier to re wick. Wish they would sell them prebuilt for this purpose.

So far, I've only used cotton ball to replace the flavor wick, but as I said, I get more gurgle issues. Next time, I'll try a smaller amount. BTW, does anyone know where you would look in walmart for cheesecloth? Is it the same as the cotton stuffing bag material they have for turkey? I like the cheesecloth idea because you have a lot more control over the amount of cotton you use.

I don't think cotton melts, I think it just burns LOL I can understand the fear in it though... one trick I saw once... person filled a styrofoam cup with water, put an egg in it, and put it above a fire. The styrofoam where the water was didn't burn or melt. I guess the water kept it cool enough... the egg eventually boiled and we enjoyed a hard boiled egg from an open fire cooked in a styrofoam cup
