Just vaped it dry, dry burnt the coil and added juice afresh.

40 drops absorbed into the wick, every single one. I stopped because it was starting to get stupid.
 
Rob sent me a sample, arrived this morning along with a sample of the 5mm Ekowool. Have yet to give either a try. That will be a job for tomorrow :) Better start mixing some more juice, sounds like a thirsty wick :)
 
Yeah this stuff holds a feck load of juice, Video is editing now, But its quite a lengthy one as it contains two rewickings, a review, and some babbling, :D
 
Well stuck some in the Chimbus and like @Mawlsey said there are loose ends everywhere, but once in place with a dowsing of juice they're fine. On the next build I will use a little more and tuck it under the coil. Vapes well with a single coil at 0.9 ohms. No dry hits yet :) And plenty of vapour.

I've taken it as low as 0.75 and it keeps up. This, ladies and gentlemen is the wick we've all been waiting for :)

EDIT: Which is a blessing, as the amount of money I had to spend to meet the minimum order quantity would have made the titanium episode a drop in the ocean. And they more than halved their offical min order too.

I still have some titanium left :) Still use it occasionally. I'm a bit nervous about using it in sub ohm builds though!

At least your brave enough to experiment with these things :) I'm sure the 5mm will be flying off the shelves. Need to get another Igo-l as I lost mine, would be easier to build with only 1 negative post.

You can get an igo-l for not much if you shop around, think that's why UD/Youde are starting their set retail price malarky as the undercutting is devaluing their products. We're putting off ordering more igo types till we move early Nov as their lead time can be quite long. I think in theory (theory) the Ti should be fine as long as the wick doesn't run dry but sod that lol The world will never be ready for Ti wire, it's awesome but dangerous. I lit some to show a friend the other day to show him it's incendiary properties and foolishly pinched it out like a candle, cue two perfect holes in finger and thumb.

Getting wire wound into the wind of silica is my next hair brained idea

You should try that with some Magnesium ribbon next.
