I liked cotton, but in a dripping only atomizer... I just keep letting it get a little dry and then *poof*, nastly horrible smoky vape. I'll stick with mesh until they make a cotton that withstands that LOL.

Hmmm, the only time I burnt a cotton wick was when I vaped my Phoenix dry ( btw, I hate dripping
). One vape it was fine, next vape a slight burnt taste. You can tell when it happens. Inhaling anything burning can't be the best for anyone.
Inhaling anything other than purified air isn't safe. But cotton wicks so much better than silica that I'll take the very slight chance that I'll burn a cotton wick over the certainty that I'll be getting a 'dry hit' with silica.
Other than stopping by and stating that you've 'heard' that inhaling burning cotton is dangerous, well, duh!
, could you give some facts? Links to some info that states that maybe getting one hit with some burning of a cotton wick every once in a great while is any less safe than any other way of vaping? I've heard that some stainless steel contains lead. Does this mean all SS contains lead? No, it doesn't. I could stop by one of the SS wick or genesis atty threads and let them know this fact; but it's irrelevant, most SS mesh that is used to make wicks is produced as filter material where anything containing lead wouldn't be wanted.Thanks for stopping by though, do read some of the posts here and if you have any pertinent questions we'd be more than willing to answer them.

I searched here and found some decent looking cotton wick too, and priced decently
http://www.wickstore.com/default.aspx put cotton wick in the search field to bring up all cotton wick.
They have a hemp cored cotton wick too =

The cotton core wick looks good too, cotton outer W/cotton core =

But it is based on inhaling ALOT more than you would get from a burned wick, over time.

@TomCatt
Impressed that you're getting a pure cotton vertical wick working in your Vivi Tank. Only time I tried this on the Zenesis it burnt up right away lol
how hot are you running it?
Based on Smoke ??,,, we aren't smoking we are vaping, big difference in my opinion
Somebody was asking about cotton smoke, as in if the wick goes dry and burns up. That does in fact produce smoke from burning cotton.
But as I was saying, that study doesn't mean anything to us, because even if you do inhale the smoke from a cotton wick burning up, it's not enough to worry about, just a disgusting hit, than replace the wick.
And what about burning tobacco? Tens years of smoking etc... Just compare amount of organics in one cig and wick. Even if you will burn your wick daily.

Are you, perhaps, writing about the post linked to below?

Just curious. Either way, I haven't seen any data that seems to back up yours or his warnings. I'll have to look into this some more, I guess, but I'm certainly not alarmed at this point...
Links to actual data that supports and warrants a dire warning are always welcome.
Ok thanks
I thought that was not a good idea I will read the whole topic and find something useful if not then I will buy the original.
Around 8 watts. I haven't had any wicking problems with the SmokTech rebuildable once it was switched over to cotton. I have two, this one wasn't modded other than using a cotton wick; the other, I enlarged the wick holes.
I've tried rolled cotton - both ends in the tank, one end in the tank; and SS mesh, no problems so far.

Also, there is nothing about a zippo wick that even suggests it needs to be food safe for it's intended purpose so I would highly doubt that it is.
sounds good man
I'd blame my fiendish sprint vaping at 10-12 watts but BJ seems to have no issues at 10-11 so instead I'll blame my silly fingers lol
The mini vivi is actually working a bit better than when I last posted at 10.5ish watts, I just have to tip more than I like. I'm gonna hunt for needle files and do some tinkering with the wick slots
Poor rabbits. Suffocating them with their own bunny balls.
Adult male New Zealand White rabbits were anesthetized and intubated with cuffed endotra-
tubes. The animals were paralyzed and ventilated with cotton smoke or room air. The smoke was produced by combustion of cotton toweling and was insufflated into the lungs with the aid of a mechanical ventilator (model
607, Harvard Apparatus Co., Dover, MA), as described previously [6]. The chemical composition of similar
cotton smoke has been published elsewhere......

Great visual aid but it got me thinking...has anyone thought of actually up-scaling a PV?, nothing stupid and certainly not something you'd pack around, more like a Hookah type design...something with a 1/4" wick, a healthy wrap of maybe even 28 awg kanthal (or thicker), a regulated PSU that could bang out 4-5 amps no sweat...I'm not talking about making something that would be over the top un-vapable but something you have at home, that because of no size constraints and larger surface areas, would last quite a while???
Side by side a Vivi genesis type converted to a genesis with a #500 SS wick 2.6 ohm 32g A1 7/8 wrap. 5.5v
Vivi nova cheesecloth wick thru coil, small batten wick over same coil at 5v.
Both monster vaper, both excelent flavor and TH, the 500 ss gives much more vaper than the 400 as it keeps the coil wetter, almost as good as cotton. Cotton still slightly fuller vaper and the 500 a little hotter TH but I am very satisfied with both.

I tried the cotton balls too, yesterday, I'm doing something wrong. Burnie burnie burnie. Not wicking nearly enough, I don't know if the wick itself is too tightly rolled, too fat for the hole, coils wrapped too tight, too loose, etc. I'm not quitting tho.
