How To Taifun GT cotton wick for different VG/PG and big clouds!

Question about the cotton...

Whenever I see pictures of a cotton build the cotton is even and long, but when I try taking it off cotton balls (never tried organic so don't know if they are different) it isn't even all the way along. Mine are usually fat one side and thin on the other or in the middle

What am I doing wrong, or what is the secret to getting it even and consistent like in the pictures on this thread?

Unravel the cotton balls so they are flat and tear off even strips. No difference in organic as far as im aware. Google how to make cotton wicks, should find some vids on how to do it

Anyone know where I can get spare o-rings and stuff here in the US,mine didn't come with spares and was hoping to get a complete set without having to buy another one

White Fog deliver to the US

Not sure of any actual US hops though I'm afraid.

Well here you go peeps, someone asked for pictures so here goes.


First pic : Old coil 1.6ohm done a few pulse hits to clean the crud but still looked a bit cruddy so it came out.

Second pic : with the collar pushed down you can see it sits quite high.

Third pic : In went a very quick built 3 wrap doesn't look that neat but it will do came out at 1ohm
Cotton cut so the ends touch the tank.

Forth Pic : Tools used and the old coil that came out.

Thanks. I've gone from 70/30 to 50/50, so hopefully the double loop trick works for me .

Awesome

For higher VG liquids 60/40 vg/pg, 70/30 vg/pg and 80/20 vg/pg (I don't use any higher vg):

Very similar set-up although the wick is done slightly differently as from testing it, the above will not wick properly if the liquid is thicker. What I do for these thicker liquids is:

1. have longer wick ends poking out so when folded you get a longer loop
2. bit of juice on wick to tidy, then chimney cap on
3. cut the loops close to the chimney, so it's still doubled but the wick is now open
4. tank on
5. a few dry pulls, then bigger clouds!

(photos and numbers should correspond)

Make sure that every time you build, you lube all the O-rings well to avoid issues with snags, leaks and cracked tanks. I also well lube the chimney cap hole so the chimney post slides in and stops the chimney turning. I also press down on the chimney ever so slightly till it stops swivelling after I put my wick through.

Hope this has been of some help

AAAwesome.... But one question tho. I usually trim off the ends instead of folding them back like you did. does it make any difference?
