Just tried some cotton yarn in my rose and ive gone back to wool.
Have to say it didn't wick as well as wool so produced less vapour, but that might be just my setup.

lurking in the background to see how some of these fare as they get more 'vape time'. still have a pack of cotton balls left but y'know..!

i know its a daft question but do anybody remember making wool yarn at junior school
there was a pair for brushes you used on the raw wool to get all the strands to run same way
wth were they called cause i recon it might be worth a try with cotton wool

for huge ammounts of wool (sheep wool ) you can make your own with plank of wood and nails in it.
i suppose one could do the same with thin plank and small pins, or even thick cardboard and tacks pushed through.   Just thinking out loud decoy

ruffdog i dont seem to get on to well with cotton wool but was thinking if i carded it 1st it should be easier to get the right amount and get an awesome wick outa it as it would still be lose
saves buying yarn ,should in theroy work better than yarn and ive got 2 cats so can explane away the purchase to the wife icon_shoppingm Tease-smiley

I dont know if this helps anyone BUT.. . . .
Yesterday I sonic-ed an Iclear 30's bit's n bobs.
Now It was well and truly crusty and had been in denture mix for 12 hours but still caked in crud.
OK, sonic didn't get crud off. BUT, i realised I'd done it for about 20 min all told and the wick (silica i think) had fuzzed right up. gone quite funny indeed, dried off and it has kinda jiggled all the strands a bit loose. i wonder if sonic-ed cotton balls would do the same thing. maybe the cavitation bubbles are actually loosening the fibers.

Thoughts.

Very interesting BUT long thread.

PS: re-wicked an iclear the other day with 2mm (measured with ruler !!) silicon wick (ionian please chime in if that is not what the wick material you sent is please)
took old wicks out, dry burned coils, poked and prodded and squeezed coils back to where they belonged. resistance stayed ok.
wick slips in, snip to length then untwirl et voila.
no gurgles, flooding or burned taste / dry hits and airflow a tad better too.
run half a tank of bananas n cream and it and the coils still look new after a quick rinse under tap.

Mrsmac, @scooby thank you again for your kindness ....my cotton has landed ....oh al of about 20 mins ago I tried the rico ..and style craft ..in coils I had prepared in anticipation ...lol....both are better than cotton wool ...I think but so far the rico gives a much more rounded taste .....I've washed the other cotton and I'm waiting on it drying as I type .....thanks again

[Mrsmac]

you are very welcome my love, let us know how you get on

@scooby, received with thanks will pass on today

Glad your pleased Fagsareus I also prefer the Rico. I think you may find the organic cotton to your liking . I'll post my thoughts later.

Been vaping the organic in a Kayfun V3.1 and a Spheroid Mrsmac and comparing it with the Rico in a Spheroid. As I said to Fagsareus I'll be back.

No need for carding with the Organic Cotton I've just got, it's already done. In fact it's wrong to call it yarn, it's more like very fine cotton wool with the fibers all running along the length.
