Hypatia ..... you are supposed to use NEW TP, not used TP .... that should solve your "leave behind" problem and I'd bet your e-juice will start tasting better too .... just sayin' :blink:

Ewww! As if! LOL, I was trying to think of the word "lint", but was having a brain fart (hee hee). LINT, I meant LINT, ya'll!

Being a now not-so-frequent pipe smoker, I've been using pipe cleaners for my rda's and drip tips. A pipe cleaner bent at the bottom end will hold several drip tips and takes on the form of a skeletal finger. BJ Long are the best bang for the buck when it comes to quality pipe cleaners coupled with quantity. Tapered fluffy tails are very versatile, but BJ Long also manufactures different sizes and non-tapered cleaners too.

Chenille hobby pipe cleaners or any sort of "craft stems" are to be avoided when it comes to pipes due to fibers and non-absorption. It stands to reason that the same should go for mod equipment.

As an aside, even just dabbling with pipes will make you appreciate just how reasonable most quality mods are in price. :)

I know that feeling. The moment I thought of them I was wondering why it took so long. I ordered a big package from Amazon, and since I cut them in half that should last a long time.

I know they're dirt cheap (even if you buy them at a B&M analog shop), but I'm cutting them in 1/3rds :blush:

Great tip on using a pipe cleaner as a drip tip holder. Never dawned on me to use one that way. Thank you. Yes, Long's extra absorbant pipe cleaners are what we use here. Pack of 36 that are about 9-10" long for $1.25 at my local tobacco shop.

You can find some alright deals online. For pipes, mind that it's been awhile and he seems out of stock on a few things, I've always liked Mars Cigars and compare it to RTD for supplies and bulk tobaccos.

I'm right in there with you all that are mentioning cutting pipe cleaners, with good nail clippers, you can get a lot more usage from a single pipe cleaner.
