Do not use sera or jewel pads in your coil. these are normally used as a storage medium for holding the liquid which then just feeds your wick. They are not used for the direct contact with with the coil as it could give off noxious fumes during say, a dry hit, which you will then be inhaling.

@fockskey

Thank you for clearing that up,i did see alot of talk of spheriod regarding sera wool i just presumed it could be used thanks again
I cant see anything on the pack about it being bleached ect how would you steralise it? some milton fluid and a boil ? or just a boil
il run the remaining tank of juice through it see if it beds down like you say

I dont know for sure if it can be used but i have seen it in some posts on other forums and in pictures and i used it when i had tanks myself (fish)
Its a filter media you place in fishtanks works really well in tanks for vapes im not so sure but you could pick up some from petshop cheap enough to try

Somebody more knowledgeable than me will hopefully be able to tell you if they see this but i've never heard of anybody using these filter materials for making a wick.

My guess is that it's probably not a good idea.

Wilko's Organic cotton wool works great in my protank coils, I don't find it tastes nasty at all and is cheap as chips.

I've got Sainsburys and boots cotton wool and both of those are fine

Mental note made not to use asda cotton wool!

[Greigster]

When using cotton wool as a wick, you need to make sure you have washed your hands thoroughly before handling. Cotton wool is so absorbent, that it will allow the transfer of anything that you have on your hands, on to it, which will taint your vapour. The end of the cotton which you have rolled tight between thumb and forefinger to allow you to thread it through the coil, should be pulled through the coil enough, so it allows you to cut that part off, thus using only the barely touched section of the cotton in the coil.

Asda was the ones I used as well and I want getting on with it. I could taste the cotton very loudly over my juice. If you boil it though it tastes better

I use Sainsbury's cw in just about everything I own. It's flipping great. 

the only time I've had a weird taste from it was in my genesis, where the wick had started to dry. It didn't burn but it tasted off. Once rewicked it was fine. Everything else - kayfuns, taifuns, spheroids, drippers - it's been fantastic.
