i usually use readyxwick, but, for some unknown reason, i decided to wick my magma dripper with japanese cotton, dual coil configuration...
the coils (2) are 28 g kanthal, just shy of 2 mm inside diameter...total resistance is 1.1 ohm...coil type is kind of a hybrid between a spaced coil and a continuous shorting coil...
i am currently vaping @ 20 - 22 watts with a max vg blend e-liquid called "everydaydrip, bananas foster"...its really clear with a very, very slight yellow tint...
anyway, the cotton started out white, or as white as japanese cotton presents itself...and the more it gets used the darker the cotton is becoming...and is darkest were the cotton touches the positive and negative posts...
as the magmas chamber is depleted of liquid and less and less liquid is present in the cotton, the cotton starts to get white again, except where it touches the posts ( that portion of the cotton stays dark in color)...
the cotton directly under the coils is not burnt or charred at all...
the flavor of the bananas foster with this japanese cotton is impressive...
the wicking properties of the cotton took a while to really kick in and start to carry liquid to the coils, i may have slightly if ever so slightly a bit more cotton under the coil than is needed with this thick of an e-liquid, but dry hits are non existent and i can tell when its time to re-drip, from the flavor drop off...
sorrry to babble on so long... the question is...why is the cotton so dark where it contacts the positive and negative posts of the dripper as the wick decends into the reservoir?
or is this normal...keep in mind, im a readyxwick user and cotton/japanese cotton is new for me...
