what do you use as a wick?

I use P&C yarn right off of the skein(no fancy boiling). There is a slight cottony taste the first hit or two and pure bliss after that. FYI...I vape unflavored.
I ditched cotton for rayon about a week ago. I couldn't be happier with my decision to do so.
For your own health sake don't listen that guy , Nylon ? sounds like he has some kind of death wish , I've never heard of anybody using nylon
Organic cotton balls or Ko Gen Do,untreated Japanese Organic cotton
All rayon, all the time. It replaced both cotton and ss mesh for me permanently. Wicks like it has a pump built in, clean taste just like stainless steel, and at least as easy to work with as cotton. I use it in my RDAs, in my Kayfun, I've even gone back to using my genesis RBAs recently because rayon has made them as easy to set up and perform as well or better than my Kayfun. Phenomenal stuff.
I'm now on the rayon bandwagon. This is after using silica, cotton balls and then braided cotton wicks.
Koh Gen Do Japanese cotton in my drippers. I fooled around with rayon for a while. Switched back and forth between it and the KGD. I eventually decided that the KGD cotton was best, for me, although both rayon and KGD are superior to rolled cotton or cotton balls, whether organic or sterile.
For my genisis RBAs, 400 or 500 ss mesh only.

I wish I had a gas spectometer...
I have some kevlar cord laying around and would love to know if it gives off the nasties when heated.
It would NEVER scorch, wicks well (I use it for fire performance), and I imagine for vaping would last damn near forever.

When I first saw the rayon thread the first thing that came to mind was strips of fabric torn off a Hawaiian shirt.
I like the organic cotton balls from CVS. Not because I care whether or not they are "organic", but because I like the consistency of them better than regular cotton balls. They seem softer and easier to work with.
I wanted to try rayon, and asked my wife to pick up a box of cellucotton from Sally's, and she instead came home with a box of rolled cotton.
She said, "The cellucotton was rayon.....I didn't think you would want that". LOL

I believe you mean a mass spectrometer.
As for the wick question, I was using CVS 100% organic cotton balls for about five months up until about a week ago until I got a beautiful shipment of unbleached undyed unmodified hemp fiber in, which absolutely blows cotton out of the water. Wicks faster, lasts longer, harder to burn, tastes better(to me, anyway).
These aren't slacker builds I'm testing the hemp in either, the brass setup is 22g Nichrome 80 @ .15 ohms and the stainless is 24g Nichrome 80 @ .22 ohms - no burnt hit or slow wicking, even with all the empty space below the 22ga build it doesn't starve or dry hit even on 5-7 second lung hits. I'm slightly rolling and pulling the hemp fiber through the coils until it's just snug but not super tight. Kind of fiddly to work with at first but you get used to it, or at least I did.
I'm slowly converting all my devices over from cotton to hemp, it's just working better for me. 4oz of Hemp fiber was ~$10 shipped and for anyone who is keeping track 4oz will last a very long time. ( Hemp Source: http://bountifulspinweave.com/p/S-NF-H.html#.U-ajs2OTrIN ) - I'm using that straight out of the package and loving every minute!
organic cotton balls from CVS.. they are easy to work with and hold the flavor of the juice very well
Same, organic cotton balls. Surprisingly, our local CVS, Rite Aid AND Walgreens carry none of the above. Saved myself the agita and just ordered from Amazon. I now have a lifetime supply
rayon all the way best thing ive ever used and for 12 bucks you get 500 feet of it thats wnough for you and all your friends to last a life time.
Rayon cellucotton is what I use, I only vape NETs (Which are hard on wicks and coils), and rayon wicks them much better than cotton or silica. From a flavor perspective I find rayon substantially better than silica, a little better than organic cotton but just equal to Japanese cotton IMO. I like to vape around 20 watts on a .8 ohm coil which is a bit hot for cotton, scorching it over time, but rayon handles the heat extremely well.
