Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

Now comes the trial-N-error part . I'd go with a bit longer than you think you'll need for the length (can cut off excess).

The one I've been using was sold as 'Sterile' and 'USP' so I didn't boil; I don't think Quigs boils his either.

Gotcha.

Thanks,

Chris

I just opened the box of rolled cotton and have no clue what I'm looking at and how to cut it properly. The roll is about and inch thick and seems to be made of many layers. Do I separate one layer and cut off a small piece?
Sorry If this is an obvious answer.

Nice vid, I'll have to try that technique. You're so soft spoken I had to turn all the volumes up. lol

Talk softly and roll a big wick.

Now you're asking yourself, did he wrap the kanthal 3X or was it 4? Do ya feel lucky punk?

Stupid background cancelling headphone mic I swear cancels the exact opposite of what you want

...me being described as "soft spoken"...I've got 5 guys on my crew that would beg to differ ...although I do find this hobby has a good calming effect.

Ok what the heck is this thing? Is it an automatic cotton wick rolling machine?

I wondered if anyone was going to ask about that ...you know what...lets see who the first is to figure it out...an no, it's not a wick rolling machine, though that would be cool

It's a spring-powered wind up generator for an e-cig.

Tourbillon...till now is one of the most complicated devices, made by watchmakers.

 

[Quigsworth]

Nope...here's a hint, these things where everywhere, then on Christmas Day, in 1969 it all changed...

Boo wah!, notscared nailed it

to save you the google...Dec 25, 1969 Seiko released the quartz movement watch to the public...my other love, watches, I've got dozens of them

...by the introduction of the quartz Acutron?

AHHH, the wrist watch in the video should of given us a clue. Thats the downfall of a global community. We have highly educated folks and then we have short bus riders like myself.

My grandfather was a watch maker...only reason I knew what it was. I couldn't remember the name. I had to call my Dad to get the correct name for it.

The Accutron came much later...the first was called the Astron, it sold for $1250 (in 1969!, you could by a car for that)

I've got this guy on my crew who continually referrers to his taking the short bus to school...this is the same guy who regularly bails out my sorry ... and fixes the problems I've created with my usual "over think", some call it "short bus" but I'm usually witness to "brilliance in simplicity".

So you used your "phone a friend" option...
