Cheesecloth has been working very well for me. Theres a great tutorial for a vert cheese clothe wick and coil by hildicat? On here somewhere

I've tried cotton candle wick it's not really all that great,I think anyway it does perform but again gotta set it down and wait. Tried it again and freyd the ends a bit did work better,a much smoother throut hit then silica. I've tried hemp, really doesn't wick all that well. the cotton candle wick does absorb better. I will be trying cotton yarn though 4 sure all I hear is good things about it. Also cheesecloth

As you continue to try stuff, check out the rolled cotton, it's amazing. I mention it on page 2 of this thread.

Thanks for all these tips! I used cotton yarn for a Phoenix clone and it is working great. I tried the bamboo (6 strands) in a Vivi Nova head. Both work great. I kind of like the wood flavor of the bamboo. I boiled it for 20 minutes first but it adds a nice aftertaste to my dessert flavored juices!

rolled cotton gave too strong of a TH. flavor felt strange.. cant describe it really. but i know i dont like it.

100% cotton cheesecloth is FOR SURE my wick of choice. great flavor, can take some heat (much more then rolled cotton) , and wicks great as long as you dont have it rolled too tight.

ive been using cheesecloth on a 1.7ohm 32g kanthal coil in my phoenix. with a bigger oring for adjusting airhole with wick this thing has been vaping perfectly to my standards. until i find something better, cheesecloth will be the one.

can you use cheesecloth for a genesis? i really wanna try a genesis, thinking about the AGA-T from vaperite. $40 seems very fair for a SS rba

I been using both cotton and bamboo - love em both - but I use em on CE2s and CE5s - but I do chain vape - yet to get a dry hit - using a YJ VV

I use cotton yarn in my phoenix atty and 2 novas and it works amazing, no waiting, I chainvape like no other flavor outperforms silica 10 to 1. I went to walmart in knitting section. Found a big ball of peaches and cream brand white 100% cotton yarn, boiled in for 30 mins to remove anything extra and its awesome. Ss mesh is on my to do list just haven't got around to using it yet.

I use this also. I don't even boil it. I put the skein in a freezer bag with a small hole it it to pull the yarn through. Works great and keeps the cotton clean. I chain vape with my Phoenix clone and Rainbow clone with no problems at all with wicking. Juice taste very clean with no off taste. Give it a try folks.

Another +1 for peaches and creme 100% cotton yarn. You will get a really off taste for the first .5ml to 1ml, but after that it is brilliant.

I just want to add that I have moved on to cheesecloth (from using rolled cotton before). I'm using 100% natural unbleached, but will also try the generic kind just to compare.
