What is that *-SARIN-* ????? also can/do you need to fuff it up how does it work, i can see the juice would hold in the cord
but how does it "soak" it up.

[*-SARIN-*]

Silica wick, us oldies used to use it back in the day.

@broadblaster...I would try wetting it...you've nothing to lose, but everything to gain.

That is a generous offer chykensa

Sorry for the Q *-SARIN-* how does it work i presume you run it through the coil and just leave the ends in the bottom so the juice soaks up the cord.

Yup. That's pretty much what you do. You need it to fit inside the coil tightly though, not like a cotton wick is done. Not that I suppose you have tried

Anyway, good luck

ps, maybe you should see a therapist about your cotton aversion.......

i was the same i still hate the feel of cotton, but you get use to it well i did

if you can only handle wet cotton you will have to wait for it to dry but if you wet it with e liquid you wont have to wait for it to dry. it also primes coil for you at same time. problem solved.

Back in the old days (steadies himself on walking stick) we used to wind the wire around the silica wick, using a needle to give a bit of space inside the coil after it was finished. This might work for you, but TBH things have moved on so much that I have yards of the blessed stuff which I will never use now

I did think to do it with juice greendog but could end up wasting good juice, leaving them to dry should not be a problem as i have a 
few set ups that i could do in rotation.

I'm going to try the rayon chykensa hopefully i can get on with that, if not may have to have a try with the silica cord.
Trust me you not the only one who needs that walking stick

I might be wrong! but if it's the new kanger subtank mini RBA, I don't know if rayon or any type of string wick will work without leaking, the new airholes are pretty big and I've found with mine that even leaving the smallest of gap in the wick around the airhole it leaks, every leaking issue I've read up on on the new RBA has been down to bad wicking and not covering the airholes, so I don't think rayon type string would spread enough to cover them, but I'm sure others here will tell me if I'm wrong and it does work, as you can't touch cotton it must be down to the feel of it, so how about some disposable gloves and some Muji pads or Bacon bits cotton? the gloves are thin enough so you can still feel what your doing without actually touching the cotton,,

Its a v1 mowjo i'm going to try the rayon and see how i get on, i tried to use the pads that came with the tank and no good for me.
I have thought about the gloves but i tend to split them and i have enough problems with my fat fingers without them on aswell 
Worst case i will get the cotton a bit wet enough for me to thread it through the coil then let it dry out and poke it down and fluff it with a 
tooth pick if i need too.
