Hi I've been wicking my coils with just cotton bacon. Problem is is that I like to change ejuice pretty frequently, I was wondering if there is any type of wicking material that doesn't require me to change the wicks every time I change flavour? Sort of like how it works in a normal sub ohm tank, thank you.

Many just vape a ml or two of unflavored. I use a light meringue I mix myself between juices when I'm too lazy to rewick.
You don't have to rewick to change flavors. The trick is to change to flavors that kinda mix well. I just went from Bubbas pig sauce (carmel apple bacon) to cinnamon red hot to dutch apple pie without rewicking. Letitia is right though. You can just basically rinse the wick with unflavored juice or a light flavored juice.
Not as far as I know. Silica is the least bad that way because you can dry burn it (a little) but has other big safety issues like silicosis. Imho wicks are cheap. Just keep replacing em
SS mesh would be a quicker transition between flavors but are you willing to go through the long learning curve with using it?
Oooh. I forgot about ceramic wick. And stainless wick for that matter. Both are only used in genesis style rdas. I’ve never used ceramic, but stainless wasn’t a lot better than cotton.
I've read MacTechVpr posts about it. Pretty interesting. Seems if cared for properly lasts a very long time.
Do a search on Genisis or Genesis with mesh wick, there is loads and loads of info in the forum. Most folks were never successful or willing to put in the time to learn how to properly use it. The greatest issue with mesh is learning to eliminate hot spots (shorting between wick and wire) causing burnt juice and or metal taste. Once the technique is mastered it is in my opinion the cleanest vape.
Yep. Outlasts the coil generally and you can dry burn it. The problem is getting it to work right in the first place. Lasts 5 or 10 times as long as cotton but takes 5 or 10 times as long to get running correctly. When you do it’s awesome. Very clean flavor. They’re a bit annoying about leaking though. I never replaced my last genisis tank after it died. An avacado is basically a genesis tank that uses cotton wick.
A bit less long actually. When they run dry they really run dry and you can dry burn the tip. The problem is any juice left in the wick is more than happy to mix with the new stuff so it comes out as more or less a wash. To change flavors you basically have to vape it down to dry hit, and dry hits on genisis devices really suck.
Both ss mesh and ceramics were used as wicking BEFORE being used as coil materials......
There are ceramic versions of silica type wicks........ and ceramic rod wicks....
SS in a dripper is easy.... learning curve really only applies to wicking tanks with it....

If you really really hate changing wicks though a genisis tank may be the way to go. Iirc someone actually posted a book about genisis rigs somewhere around here. Unfortunately it’s in Russian.
Yeah. I actually used to use th SS stuff. I just forgot. *is old and fluffy headed *
I had forgotten about some silica wicking considered a ceramic, called Ready X or something like that. It may be a little easier on flavor transition, not sure.
