I don't know if this post will be a waste of time because everybody knows this stuff, but I have not seen much mention of it, so here it is.
The Q-Tip has so many uses in vaping. There are of course the obvious ones, like using the Q-Tip to swab out the wells of RDAs, or drip tips, or chimney tubes. With a little isopropyl, they do a great job of cleaning the threads and pins on your mod's 510.
RTA decks, and top caps frequently have tight spots that are hard to reach for cleaning, and a Q-Tip fits very nicely in there.
Two newer uses I've found recently, pertain to the use of Q-Tips on coils. When pulse-cleaning my coils, while still glowing, I apply the water saturated end of the Q-Tip to the coil, and its coil-gore no more!. Two or three times per coil, and the coil is quench-cleaned all shiny and ready to be wicked.
Recently, when fighting with TC on SS on various mods, I finally got tired of watching a cotton wick burn when testing TC accuracy. By the time I removed the charcol, and cleaned and rewicked ( a must before continuing, because carbon IS a resistor, and will change the readings) I have usually forgotten what I was doing. If I even knew in the first place.
Holding a Q-Tip on the coil is much faster and easier, and much less messy and time consuming and very easy to extinguish it does begin to blaze.
You can also stab your brain with them.
I'm sure there are many more uses for them I haven't thought of. If you have a good one, please reply.
