I love my V3's and chucking a new head on it for £2 every 2 weeks or so is much less frustrating for me than trying to recoil one. Having said that, if you enjoy fiddling then go for it

Well after having a nosy i've found out I can use cotton for the wick. Just so happens my local yarn shop sells 100% white cotton yarn for £2 for about 85m for £2 I reckon it's worth a try Just need to now exactly what I need to buy for the wire now, oh and to manage to watch far enough into a you tube video to figure out how to test the resistance haha.

I haven't tried cotton collie2011 but some say it is better. But if you use cotton boil it first. (If you use silica, burn it). I haven't used pre-coiled yet Roscopecotrain, just plan to try it. robby is your man if I remember right.

I dont use cotton personally as I like to dry burn to clean my coils, you just burn the wick if you dry burn a coil on a cotton wick. I do use pre made coils because I really dont have the patience or the finger size lol, it did my head in at the start when I did it lol. So I go for these, www.vaporbreak.com/en/phonenix-rebuildable-atomizer/205--wick-for-phoenix-atomizer-10pcspack.htmlThey are about £2-20 for 10 plus shipping. I usually buy three or 4 four packs at a time, the shipping stays the same as for one pack, takes about 10 days to get here though.

Thought you were using the health-e-vape stuff robby - 89p for 40cm rather than £2-20 for 50cm. But I can see that yours would be easier, and at what, £24 p.a. or something, what the hell. Is there a UK source other than vapourworld? (At £4-45 for 5 you might as well buy the heads) Has anyone tried the health-e-vape stuff? Seems to come as one long coil. Might not be appropriate for the Nova - could be as fiddly to attach or unwind the tails as to wind a coil. And similar stuff shipped with the mark-t is reported to short easily and not draw the juice well.

I think the Health e Vape stuff would work well, you just cut the exact length of wick you want and unwind the coil to your spec, I have been going to use it loads of times, but can never find them "in stock" there. It would probably work out at better value than the vaporbreak coil and wick. giles
