100% cotton? Any polyester or rayon in there? And what 'flux said about what it's been washed in too.

Cheesecloth, kitchen twine - a lot of other better choices around the house. And only if boiled first to make sure there isn't any crap in them either.

whats cheesecloth and kitchen twine?? anything from the house i can use? are cotton wool balls ok?? the things that my missus uses for her make up from boots?

thanks for the quick reply i best stop vaping it now then lol

cotton roll/balls like the ones the missus uses to wipe off her make up??
Yep... them would be the ones, but if they're not organic/sterile, they'll have their own share of latent chemical residues in them, so you might want to boil and dry them first.

Do a search... "cotton balls". A thousand threads will pop up regarding preperation, fabrication and use as wick.

Cheers...

ive just cut a bit of towel (white) from the bathroom and used it as a flavor top wick...

is it safe to smoke?

gives a load of vapour.... but if its gonna kill me thats not good lol :blink:

Is there some reason you can't just order some proper silicon wick? It's something like twenty five cents a length through PBDragon and elsewhere.

lol she knows less than me, were a freezer food family :) does pizza boxes work as a filter? lol

No! Pizza box - bad! lol You're not gonna survive vaping, are you? lol

Ok, if you can find the part of the grocery store that sells kitchen gadgets (it won't be in the frozen food aisle) you should be able to find kitchen twine - aka butcher's twine - and cheesecloth. I won't go into detail, but they are used to perform all sorts of miraculous things in the kitchen - like tying stuff up. They are both 100% cotton. Even more important, they are not treated with chemicals because they are used to... :shock: prepare food. You don't want to use cheesecloth or twine bought in a Home Depot.
