Here's a little tool I made. On one side it has a battery connector for taking apart things like phoenix cartos and on the other is the coil winder. The pin has a handle and a little wooden cover so I won't stick myself digging around in my bag any more.
buy a roll of this SS 316L wool Mesh = Stainless Steel 316L Wool Roll 1 lb Reel - Medium | eBay
Roll a small ball, real small, and Put it under your wick in the Odysseus
Put A small piece in your bottom cap on your Bulli smoker
Anywhere near your coil in a rba but so it doesnt short it.
Take apart a 510 Atty carefully by removing the tube without messing it up,,,, remove bridge and strip stock mesh around the cramic cup so its clean,,, put a very small piece under the ceramic cup, and wrap a small piece around the ceramic cup and re-install wrapped ceramic cup into the tube.
Pretty much any way you can obtain utilizing a small piece of this near your coils it will double intensify the flavor of your vape, not cheap but works SUPER, splitting a Roll with a friend will leave you with plenty, hope this helps
Similar to the mesh used in another popular Atty but I'm using 316L, fine grade will also work as will medium grade, hope this helps some of you out.

What are the thoughts here on using "mercerized" cotton thread if it has been boiled well 3 times?
EDIT: Found the answer here on page 28 of this thread
"cotton yarn (regardless, make sure whatever you get is 100% cotton and NOT mercerized)"

Been using this for years. Fine, medium, coarse.

Great idea what type do you use the brownish looking stuff or the white jute.
Actually, I believe if you go a little further. The general consensus is that it's not really that bad. We're off in the weeds here though as with a lot of things, there's no way to really know.
For finishing and polishing though, I used it for years as well for that, but try it in your Atty's BJ it's super and makes them monsters !!!

Lye isn't that bad. lye is used in food preparation all the time and most people have no idea they are eating Lye treated food.
Lye treated foods include Black olives, Bagels, pretzels, Corned beef, and pastrami.
edit to add more info:
Mercerised cotton
The process was devised in 1844 by John Mercer of Great Harwood, Lancashire, UK, who treated cotton fibres with sodium hydroxide. The treatment caused the fibres to swell, which in Mercer's version of the process shrank the overall fabric size and made it stronger and easier to dye. The process did not become popular, however, until H. A. Lowe improved it into its modern form in 1890. By holding the cotton during treatment to prevent it from shrinking, Lowe found that the fibre gained a lustrous appearance.[1][2]

so last night i tried again with the cotton wick. wow, what a difference. i took this threads advice and used basically the smallest amount i could possibly make into a wick. So much better. A little goes a long way.
I rebuilt a E5 this morning with some 100% cotton flat candle wick I bought a couple years ago at Michaels. It fits perfectly in the cup slot
Interesting note is that although It sucks up joose big time (Iv'e gone through 4 mil already) the flavor is somewhat diminished and less vapor compared to the same set up with cotton gauze. Maybe the wick is too dense?
Here's the Quigstip in the cup that I put in dry. Just sitting there nize n wet waiting to be vaped. Oh-well :>).

The "Quigstip"? 
...as cool as that sounds ...I think that should be the "Bluegrasslovertip" or BGLT for short
I can only claim the "Threadstick"

When I said I had used it for years I meant in Attys, three years ago I started using SS wool instead of poly.

Yep, all of us are running along after the next best thing; then BJ hears us coming and saunters on ahead some more.

Did you say "Threadstick"? I gave it a try Quigs. It's working good, but next time I think I'll try to wrap it a bit thinner and looser.
oh - and if anyone wonders about all those coil wraps, I was trying for high Ωs to see if I could warm up the vape on my GTUS. It's metering at 3Ω and the wick is keeping up with it at 5v, though I'm vaping it at 4.5v.
~5 wraps of 34 gauge kanthal will give you ~3ohms , just sayin'. I've never been a LR vaper, I've preferred to bump up the volts.

Wow, nice job, mind you, by looking at your avatar pic you look like you may be a pro
...thinner? absolutely...I basically cover the wick to about the thickness of one of the threads I pull out of cheese cloth (pretty thin), I use 3 threads just so it goes faster...but loser? no, thread is tight and kanthal is also tight (just the way I do it)...I think I said it in my vid, I basically use the cheese cloth thread as a permanent "rolling paper" as in the genesis rolling paper method.I'm starting to move away from the raw cotton batton since making these mesh/cotton thread wicks, I'm finding the hardish surface gives a almost genesis taste, (with no dry hits, metallic TH or shorting) but with a smoother, warmer cotton vape we've all come to love...the soft straight cotton batton wicks taste awesome at first but I think because the coil tends to get buried in all that juicy cottony goodness it gets sugary and goopy pretty quick which mutes my flavours...but that's just my findings, I think it has A LOT to do with your juices therefore totally subjective.

You pegged me right from the avatar, I've got more than a few years under my belt wrapping fur and feathers on a hook shank. That Threadstick is actually being held in a fly tying vise (he he).
I used 5 strands from a piece of cheesecloth and tried to build a little bulk to act as a sponge under the coil. Then I pulled the strands up through the center of the wick. I left 1/4" sticking out the other end just in case it might be helpful pulling it out when re-doing the wick. I've also done it w/ 1 and 2 long tails (like a long wick Vivi) to help get the last of the juice out of the tank. Can't tell if it really helps yet.
