Cotton Lace

[Greg]

Just tried this in the kayfun and it's stellar.

tasted a little weird at first but soon bedded in 

A doddle to use to use and much less faffing than gauging cotton wool thickness and wicks like a dream.

Thanks blakey

You're welcome
excellent wicking material and dead simple to swap out from a microcoil, I've had it working well with a 2.5mm internal diameter coil and two strands of lace through the middle but that's with a dripper and the wicks soaked. Anywhere between 2.5mm & 3mm is fine in an attie

[Greg]

I just used a single strand through a 2mm microcoil, chopped each end off at the height of the top of the lower chimney section then prodded them down to the juice channel deck.

blakey when you use a bigger diameter coil and double lace I assume in the kayfun you would cut the two top wicks short either side of the coil and leave the two lowers longer to go down to the deck ?

[blakey]

Nope, I cut both ends to size and drop both strands on either side into the base.
When the lower part of the chimney is fitted I take a 2.5cm length of lace and pack it round the edge to ensure that the main wick has another reservoir to feed it, this also reduces the chimney slightly and increases the density of the vape.
You could just as easily let one strand on each end drop to the base and wrap the other two into a nest around the coil

That sounds like a very full chimney

I'll give it a go next time.

So the 2.5cm extra length runs the full inner circumference of the lower chimney and just rests on the 4 tails.

That's right, makes it very hard to flood a kayfun

Anyone wanna start a group buy the postage is a bit steep

It is indeed steep postage but on the bright side it was £3 earlier in the week and now it's £2 so think of it as a pound of postage 

Also you do get 65 metres so should last a while.

Yeah even with the postage cost 65 metres of the stuff is gonna last one hell of a long time.
Might order a couple though just to be on the safe side

Yes I almost ordered 2 but managed to demonstrate restraint, quite proud of that

Although since they've knocked a pound off the price if I buy 3 then essentially the 3rd on is free!

I would be foolish to ask how long 200m of wick will last, wouldn't it?




Yeah, thought so.

How long is a piece of wick string?
