Great!!! ..Now I've gotta get an AGA-T.
What is your Vaping Arsenal - I'll call it VapeWare. .I can't see the picture as I write, so I can't see your VapeWare. .I'm using a Vivi Nova on an eVic, but after your post, with a 1/8" Wick (Geeze!!!), I know the Vivi Nova will never do. .Whaddaya think of the AGA-T? .I can afford that one, and I can get a nice Glass Tank on one of those puppies.
Thanks
I said approx! The wick hole is 1/8". I like my cotton wicks extremely loose so it's nice and fluffy. The denser the wick, the less I like it which is probably why I haven't been crazy about the cordage. Just for you VG...
AGA-2T 30g 2ohm coil, 2 threads 1mm hemp wick. Vapes great, a little work because you have to take it apart to pull the wick thru, but it is worth it. Clic for video,
Just for you VG...
Ooooooooooh. You're not on SS. Cool!!! What's your Weapon?
Picture name is OnPXmzkhB5A/URAA6iNhSOI/AAAAAAAABkk. No help
And just for me. That's great. I'm sure you've posted that before, but it's hard to remember what everybody has.
I'm doin' OK with my little VN, but you guys post these Vapetastic Videos, blowin' Storms of Vapor. I wanna play too!!!

That one in the picture is a CHID.
so is the material that you find in a boge carto just cotton or something else? Are there any cartos out there that use hemp filler or natural untreated cotton? I'm just wanting to try everything out there.. and if there is something more natural than manmade fibers I wanna know
@Blue,
Googled it. That looks like a nice sized Tank.
Is that still for sale anywhere? Google only really shows IBTanked Tanks for it. Says Chid, DID, DUD. One showed a breakdown, where I saw the Glass Tube.
BJ's AGA-T2 looks pretty formidable, too. How does your CHID compare, in your opinion?
And those 28g, 29g, 30g Coils in you guys rigs are sooooooo impressive!!! You prolly wrap yours around a 1/8" Drill Bit and feed the Wick through, to make it look so perfect. BJ's looks like it might be wrapped around a folded over wick.

@Beege,
Have you tried the 2mm Hemp, compared to 2 x 1mm strands yet? Seems like that would be easier to get down the hole.

DiscountVapers.com should have them. I use a screw and follow the threads. Different sizes for different applications. For vivis, for example, I use a tiny screw (I *think* it's 1-2mm?) with super fine threads. I've never used an AGA so I cannot make a comparative comment. A pretty coil alone doesn't make a good vape IMO.

My good 2mm arrives tomorrow....

Waiting for the 'love to kick in'. I've hear ya'll talk about the hemp needing to break in. I've tried my 1st 1mm hemp (lovepedal) in a Vivi Nova. Been vaping it about an hour now, and still waiting for the flavor to show up.
About how much vapin' on the hemp does it take to settle in?
i boiled it 4 times for ~20 minutes each time. It does turn the water a light tea color. The last cycle was pretty clear. My coils 2.6Ω 32g Kanthal and a tad bigger than 1/16 I.D. I put in 1 1/2 piece of the 1mm natural hemp. Just 1 piece didn't seem to swell enough so I took 3 strands from another piece and threaded that through it. After soaking it I could still easily pull the wick back and forth in the coil, so I don't think it's too tight/thick.
FWIW - I also bought some of the white 1mm hemp from lovepedal. It's the same thickness but made up from 12 strands of hemp not 6 like the natural color. I'll give this a try next and see if it 'tastes' any different.
eta: forget to say, it's wicking well and vapor production is fine - just missing the flavor or my juice. It's a pear flavor.

FWIW, I didn't care that much for the hemp. I did my regular set up for the CE-2. One hemp and one aunty's to compare apple to apple. The hemp taste was not so good. Kinda, almost like silica. Dry hits were fairly common even after a couple days. The bamboo was flawless as usual.
Like everything else, different strokes. :>)

I have a hemp wick in my penelope and I've vaped 1/2 tank and the flavor is starting to come through. It really darkens my juice fast but the hemp wicks last a long time. It should be broke in by the time I finish this tank.
I read the whole thread. Just kidding.
As far as health concern, does it get any better than these linked? Too bad they're not organic though: http://www.ebay.com/itm/200-RAW-FIL...074?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item231df6f86a
I read people are using all types of shady cotton/bamboo yarns and stuff without emailing manufactures about addatives and are relying on smelling and feeling burnt test pieces to convince themselves it might not have addatives. Boiled or not. I think they assume that out of the obviously dyed choices that 'natural' means it has zero addatives. A good way to find out might be a trick question email to the manufacturer as if hoping it has addatives so that they're less likely to lie or assume it doesn't to not lose a sale.
I'm set on SS mesh for now but might add some cotton/hemp/bamboo/maybe silica since some swear it might be the safest because it's the only approved material besides maybe SS.
I'm using these in bottom coil clearomizers like Kanger Evod untill I get a MOD, so I don't have to join pieces together to make length.

@ MikeE3, I also bought some white from lovespedal, both my white and natural from loves pedal has 12 strands. Is the 6 stand from lovespedal? Both white and/or natural 1mm with 12 strands has worked great for me, no difference in performance between the two.
Yes, I bought 1mm/10 yards of white and 10 of natural from Lovepedal. Perhaps 'at the time' the natural was from a different stock/supplier. I'll give the white a try as I'm not liking the natural. - Only went through a 1/4 tank of 'natural' wick w/ a Vivi Nova - but so far I'm not tasting it getting any better and don't know if having to vape a tank to break in the wick is worth it compared to bamboo.

Try the 12 strand, that is the one that I have found to be the best.
IMO one of the problems with the hemp we have been getting is we don't know where it comes from. I got the 1 mm hemp from flea bay that BJ had linked to a couple weeks back. It came wrapped on a plain piece of cardboard with no id. Tbh it could be anything. It has 7 strands. One thick leader strand with 6 strands wrapped around it. Dirty gray in color like I took it from my floor mop. I dunno.
