I thought it was called a Flugelbinder?

What is a flugelbinder

It is just the cheap line. If you look at the thread, he's all over it. I give him kudos though, it's about time someone made an affordable rebuildable available in the states. Now we just have to see how his supply keeps up with the demand. The unavailability of this type of stuff plagues the e-cig industry more so than any other.

OK, great. Thanks for the info. Given that it is a "cheap line" do you think it will work with a cotton gauze wick as opposed to the SS wicks its being packaged with?

If you read the cheap line thread you will see I made many and also have several regular lines. The problem with a gauze wick is getting it in the hole and after, keeping it from shredding inside. The lines do not come apart for cleaning. I am building a new cheap line that will come apart so I can try gauze on it.

Fantastic, thanks for the answer. Not to derail this thread more than I already have, could you recommend a rebuildable suitable for a noob starting out? Not really looking to tear apart and rebuild a stardust or CE2, rather looking for a purpose built that could easily accept the cotton wicks, and that would work well on a provari.

Thanks again!

IMO the line cheap or regular is the best, saying that if someone finds a better wick I want to try..

the stardust is stupid easy to 'rebuild' its actually not so much rebuilding. if you like the flavor that is.

I ordered these today and going to see how easy they are to change the coil and wicks. E1 Clearomizer - ReVive - v2 eGo CE5+ Rebuildable Clearomizer

I just got mine and they are NOT very rebuildable friendly (though not impossible). The vivi nova beats it for rebuildability but I have to say they perform extremely well out of the box.

(FYI, I'm talking about the revive.)

It's a pretty wick! Did you roll it yourself or did it come that way? My bamboo is thin strands and I'm too lazy to braid or twist lol

That was a thick yarn, I use thin yarn about 1mm and use it as is, no twisting or brading.

do you have a preference yet, think vs. thick? too early to tell?

 

[Cyrus Vap]

i have two stardusts going side by side right now, one cotton, one silica, both short wicks, and the cotton is kicking the crap out of the silica lol

so yeah, it seems the CE2 is the only one where cotton is giving me a thin vape

 

[Big Screen D]

Aside from a serious case of pure laziness, one thing that has kept me from trying this out is the inability to dry burn.

I'm loving the CE3 with the inlet holes modded to vape Boba's Bounty VG juice. But, I have to clean and dry burn every 2-3 1.5ml tanks for peak performance.

I do read where y'all report that the natural wicks are slower to gunk up. How would you say they compare to silica in this regard? If I clean every 3-5mls of juice now, are we talking double, 5x, etc.

 

[Cyrus Vap]

I can't quantify it for you unfortunately, I'm too scatter brained But the good news is, you can easily slide your cotton wick out, dry burn, then slide it back in, or even replace it with a fresh one. It won't crumble or disintegrate like silica even with mean and sloppy handling, twisting, pushing, etc

 

[Big Screen D]

Well, I suppose there is one way to find out. I'll have to slip out the house later today and make a trip to Micheal's with out the wife knowing where I'm headed. Can't take her with me. Doing so would increase the $3 ball of yarn to $100 easily.

 

[Cyrus Vap]

LOL that's hilarious

I love tricking the fiance into going to michaels as if its for her knitting supplies HAHAHA

 

[TomCatt]

OK, must be slowly getting over the procrastinitus, picked up some cheese cloth today.

Thanks for the heads up rockinrobbie do you know if the coil on the revive is removeable i should of ask you before i wasted my money on these quess ill buy a vivi nova then they look easy to rebuild.
