Holy crap. Thanks! I almost said "bah, I know how" and skipped watching. I watched it....mine have been too thick. I'm pumped that it may get even better than it is!
I use a small scissor from Walmart in the craft section that rocks on trimming wick. Way better for me than nail clippers.

Hey, same here. Mine is a Westcott Titanium scissors for $8 or so. I didn't want to spring the big bucks for the Fiskars.
I have a feeling a lot of folks are doing theirs up too thick .....
I experimented the first day finding as little as possible and still due the job ....
Its surprising how little you can go. If I ever taste any cotton at all I know its still a bit too thick.
Thanks for the video ..... and ditto on the scissors ..... any new pair will cut that cotton clean and easy.
But I did "spring for the fiskars"
Nothing is too good for my vape gear.
A cotton wick that slides through the coil with very very little resistance is perfect. It will wick quickly and the cotton can expand a bit when saturated. With cotton, the "less is more" rule applies!
Nice vid, pwr! The size reference with the dime and cotton ball is very helpful for folks just getting into this stuff.

You've always been at least one step ahead of me in the vaping world.
But.....are your Fiskars bent at the end? My Westcotts are bent at the end so it probably makes them .....I dunno, cut bent stuff better, I guess.

Hey Roger...were you the logger video taped with the bulldozer tearing up the neighborhood on the 20 20 TV show last night?

Odd that the video link isn't working for me.

cotton wick tutorial - YouTube
? See if that one works. It's the same link.
Very strange the 1st one didn't and thanks!
Wow. After watching that I too have been using too thick of cotton wicks. I would have never thought it would make a difference. Thanks for your informative video and thanks to JC...she knows why.
You're quite welcome. I like to see how thing work for myself when I buy things instead of just hearing people say how to do things. If we all just listened, we'd all still be smoking blue cigarettes. Lol.
I put a new wick in my grand after this vid. It's working great. Granted, my others did too...but this was way easier!
Excellent video! Only my first week of rebuilding, but I found that very helpful! Now, I'm off to roll another wick!

crap. now you tell me. my younger daughter told me to buy Fiskars, so...
That was awesome! You also cracked me up when you messed up the camera and when you said " Who Hoo HOO!" !
Matt, you would enjoy this also!
lol. i have my phone mounted on a suction cup, it lost its suction. i don't edit my videos, so you get what you get. i find it more UH unscripted. which is why I'm not as popular as grimmgreen or PBusardo.<< 99% of my knowledge has come from them on vaping.
Nice video, thanks.
Here are the scissors I've been using. along with file, screw driver etc:
