Cotton Wick

[head5000]

I was reading last night that people use cotton as a wick.
I presumed that cotton would simply burn up, does it not?

This would push the price down to ridiculous levels. I mean 10m of kanthal and a load of cotton for a few pounds and you've got close to 100 coil/wick assemblies.

What is this witchcraft!?!

Yes cotton wool will burn unless you keep it wet all the time. If you are not careful it can be a nasty experience that you will not repeat unless you would like a lung transplant

Yep.. I find cotton better than silica wicks .... But be careful to use only organic cotton.. The regular ones would have chemicals in them and hence harmful for vaping.

I find the flavour far better with cotton. Depends on the attie I suppose. Gravity/pressure fed (my preference) bottom coil it's superb but not the wick of choice for many that prefer genesis style/top coil atties.

Heard a bit of talk about the organic thing. Where do you buy your organic cotton ? I just have regular asda cotton wool balls for my wicks, i imagine it's all washed when they process it but i would still rather go organic, as with anything where possible.

i use it in all my Kayfun type attys in the squape and in all my genesis attys i even use it in the aios not to mention the drippers and the only one thats a bit tricky is the aios

but once you get used to setting it up its fine and the flavour is great

I think its available at almost all stores.. Easiest is search for organic cotton balls on Amazon!

I'm really getting into cotton too, I've got organic balls from wilkinsons - two packs for £2.20 but one pack is gonna last me ages.
