wick material question?

[really_now?]

Ok, I have seen where you can use bamboo yarn and cotton.

So my question is, and please dont laugh at me or think I am cheap. But my wife has offered me to use one of her cloth diapers from her stash to allow me to use as wicks, if i can that is.

It is 55%bamboo and 45% organic cotton. Only reason I am considopring this is becuase I already have it and them things are absorbant. Plus i see you can use cotton and bamboo but how about a mixture of the 2?

Any insight in welcome.

Thanks

Try it? I don't know the answer to your question, but then again.. How many would? I would say give it a go and report your findings. We're not talking big cost here... So why not?

It would probably wick and work. But ive heard using bamboo as a wick makes the vape taste like bamboo!

I started last week useing Q-tips, works great.

Pull the tip off rub it in your fingers to the right size and re-wick.

Keep in mind that wicks breaks down with use, you might be breathing some of it into your body.
100% cotton seems to be best.

I use 100% Bamboo wick in 3mm for a variety of "wick work"... so I'll be interested in hearing how it goes with the "diap-a-wick". ;-)

If this doesnt work, I have plenty of cotton laying around the house.

Seriously... I've read of people using all sorts of materials for wick. So far, the funniest one, that actually worked, was a tea bag. Don't know if it was woven cotton or synthetic or what... hell, rice paper for all I know, but the guy said it worked.

So... although a diaper is easily a close second, the most fascinating thing to me is that your diapers are a bamboo/cotton blend... I had no idea that bamboo was used in that application. Learn something new - almost every day.

Awesome to here. I almost now wish i would have gotten ribbon wire.

My wife could talk your head off about cloth diapers. They are really super duper absorbant. Just google softbum cloth diapers lol or maybe prefolds, heck i dont know its one of those. O and they are soft also.

Well, I've used flour sack towels, pretty similar except all cotton so, I don't see why the diaper wouldn't work and, one diaper is going to make a lot of wicks.

Mostly I use cheesecloth because I have plenty of it around for wine making, pickling and other kitchen uses anyway.

Ready for possibly the worst pun ever? You sure? OK... here goes...
