i re-wicked early last night and have been hitting it every so often since then, so probably about 30-50 vapes, but its still got a subtle cottonish taste. my coil is pretty high off of my air hole maybe that is a factor?

Are you using cotton flavour e-juice?
Usually means you need to wash your hands.

i actually tries washing my hands lol, it helped a lot but its still just the slightest bit of cotton taste, i think I'm just getting too used to my juice as well lolAre you using cotton flavour e-juice?

Mine said shipped same day but still waiting.
I had a 3fvape order where I never got a tracking number. E-mailed them, nothing. Then a few days later it was at my door, fastest china order I've had. Don't know what was up with that one but in the end I can't complain.
Common misconception. Hes still got a dick, it didnt fall off. But it did explode. Bad. Its a mangled mess down there. Looks like someone stuck a hot dog in the microwave too long. It looks like one of those cartoon sticks of dynamite/cigars after it explodes. Just bad. Probably why he tells people it just fell off. Easier than saying your dick exploded into a ripped up mess resembling a limp octopus.
First attempt at a staple. Failed when wrapping the coil. I only got 1 wrap on the ribbon's edge. 3mm ID and measures 0.58 ohms. 3 pieces of 0.5x0.1 N80 ribbon for the core and a 0.5x0.1 N80 wrap.
Pretty happy with the photos. I made myself a mini lightbox to take coil pics. Much better lighting this way.

Cotton bacon = medical cotton repackaged and very expensive. Reminds of the g plat ripoff.
Tastes different to me
Had my sister who is a nurse uhh, liberate some for me. Looks, smells, feels etc. exactly the same.
I'm with you, but I trust those that say it's better. Question is, how much is slightly better worth to you? And, when it's still as cheap as it is overall, it's not that big of a difference.
What about taste? I can't taste the bacon
Lol. I can say this, I'll never have to buy cotton ever again...
I buyt Cotton Bacon V2 for $3 a bag....Ive had 3 bags for over 3 months and have only used a bag and a 8/10 of the second so far..and I build and wick/rewick constantly...I dont mind paying $9 for 3 bags of cotton that nice and the resealable bag thats sexy looking.
Cool. My ziploc freezer bag full has a resealable feature also lol
Like I said to Rocco I dont mind paying for Cotton Bacon...Its not a problem to me. If you want to save money then do your thing...I dont have an issue spending $3 on something that lasts a month for me...Ive spent much more on things that lasts hours in the past.

Wow, they sell it by the gram. But it is pretty cheap, the other stuff (that I used to buy in a former life) that came by the gram was a lot more...

Yea, if youre payin $6 a bag of the Cotton Bacon, youre being taken. I get it for under $3 a bag at a local B&M shop. And they are known to spike prices.
Its good stuff. I personally love it, way better than that "organic" japanese pad shit. Easier to work with, easier to wick, easier to everything. Maybe its repackaged medical shit, maybe not, but I dont care. Id rather have a slick resealable bag with a nice design with a nice name on it rather than a big sack with a giant cottonball in it labeled dental dam cotton sterile medical whatever.
Cotton Bacon all day.

That's a horrible way to live...
I've bought cotton bacon in the past, but what i typically use is your basic "japanese organic" cotton from a B&M close to home. its like z$4 a bag, lasts around a month, and it does the job just fine...
its s convenience thing to me, and $4 a month is whatever..
i do wonder what that native wicks is all about... and VCC...

Cotton bacon is no way easier to use than the pads of cotton. Buy and use the fucking shit if that whats you want to do but back the fuck off on the 'big sack of giant cottonball" as you don't know what you're talking about.
lol, thats what those medical cotton shit come in tho, a big waddy ball or a sheet. Its just cotton bro, you dont gotta get mad about it.
I get mine for 2.50 a bagI can get it for much cheaper....
I wish there was an iOS app that did focus stacking.
You guys try pima cotton?
Has a small break in period, usually after a redrip its good to go.
Superior than that jap stuff imo also to cotton bacon which ive also used.
Wick lasts longer, way longer and can withstand a bad dry hit or two and not burn as easily. Pretty good shit.
I think native wicks is also pima, no?

So my first coils made from wire I actually wrapped myself. Fused Clapton 2x 28k/34k, 2mm ID, ~0.3ohm dual set up. Hits good around 5 volts.

Rolled 25 AWG KA1 40AWG Ni80 clapton at .6Ω
You would look at the Nipple RDA and think ....nah!
But you would be wrong, it's a surprising little beast
....plus its small so you can put it on the minivolt.

this is the cotton that i like to use for my Astroglide juice.
There's many ways already that are really easy to do...Buy the Toothpaste Roller (Metal Version) for something really cheap and easy, or that Multi sized patter Corrugator I posted yesterday...Or bguy some RC Spur Gears and mount them on a piece of wood so the teeth are together like gears and pull the Ribbon/Wire through. Ive done both Ribbon and wire as thick as 26g so far.

I saw the metal version of that...couldn't work it out ha ha, so obvious in those funky colors. Happy daze, any corrugated wire you wants.
So for a TC oriented build, does just the core need to be a TC compatible material or do you gotta do core and wrap? Ive been meaning to make some TC coils, and have a couple gauges of SS316, but for wrap I dont have anything high enough in SS or nickel.
I made a 316l fused clapton wrapped with 38g kanthal d and it worked just fine in tc mode. The outter wrap has little effect on resistance. If anything, just drop your desired temp down to start with

Another option is to unwrap the ends of your leads and install just the SS cores into the posts. At least. that what I've read. I still haven't ventured into the TC world yet, myself.
