I took the coil out, I am going to wait for the wick to properly dry out. I put the last wick in the microwave to dry it off a bit on the one I coiled yesterday. The wick smells a bit more now it has been in soak.
I was using some Cherry flavor liquid. I shall report back when I give it another go.

Well so far not so good, in fact it tastes awful :-\!
Maybe it needs another rinse. Shouldn't do seeing as it has no chemicals. The wick was fully soaked in e liquid so that is not the bad taste. It pretty much tastes like the wick smells if that makes sense.

Perpetua I have just received the wick you recommended, I installed it on my Octopus Rda but having a bit of trouble. Problem I am having is the wick does not soak any liquid up, in fact it does the opposite and just slides off. Any tips of getting the wick to soak up properly? I was very surprised by the result! Thank you

That is perfect thank you Perpetua. Do I need to boil the wick or just use it as it comes?

This is on a Vamo at 1.7 ohms using Silica Wick and .20 kanthal wire.
The 4 wrap coil is in the center so I do not understand why.

Surely this is not a good thing as it might burn away the nicotine/flavor.
This is when rebuilding a vivi nova or anything similar. The head gets hot and the heat spreads down the center post. Am I doing something wrong here?!

I was going to ask the same sort of question (sorry to butt in!)
So has anyone got any links on where to purchase quality cotton wick?
I have been using 100% cotton wool pleat from my bathroom, I got it to work once. It was lovely but a pain to use because its all furry and breaks apart to easy.

wire one of these to an old clearo and save yourself a few quid Wow that is a great find!! Do you just put each each end on the battery orrr?!! I am not much of a tech wiz. I will take the advice and just stop using it when it drops in quality. Or get the above if I understand how to use it. Only reason I wanted to test the voltage was to be on the safe side, I thought over discharging the battery was very un safe so I wanted to do my best to avoid it!

+1 for the vamo from me. Love the vamo. You can pick them up pretty cheap on fasttech if you are willing to wait a bit longer.
