I'd like to ask a question of y'all... How long and how much effort did it take to get at least OK with wicking your coils? Whether it be rdas or rtas... I've went through a whole cotton field and still can't get it right! Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome and thank you in advance o_O:)

Which ones do you have? That may make it easier to help guide you. Each has its own unique style imo.

I do not "require"ppl to be active, I certainly encourage them to, it makes the experience so much nicer. Some ppl just like to read and are shy to comment or new to forum life lol.

I just recently got it down pretty well. I let other people do it for me, but after watching this one guy on youtube I realized i had it wrong. Basically don't overdo the cotton twist it while you pull it through, and then fluff it up and make sure it isn't too tight, but not too loose either. I also make sure the cotton just dips down into the well without much excess, and push it up against the wall of the atty. So it basically looks like a little tent.

I also noticed there are not too many active participants in the conversation, and I HOPE that it doesn't translate into anyone just keeping the box. I guess that is always a possibility. I would definitely have rather had someone I knew before me than someone I have never talked to, but the only real requirement was asking to join.

I can tell you my experiences, there are always ppl that are very active, some that pop in when they can, and then some that hardly ever join the chat. We have had ppl join, make 1-2 posts, get the box and put a pile of good used equipment in, can't ever tell. And yes there are always ppl that take advantage of the kindness of others, I feel like we have a good group. That's why we tell you whatever the issue please don't hesitate to contact us and COMMUNICATE. We can't know what will happen in ppls life, ppl get sick, have love ones die, lose jobs, have unexpected things come up... If I know what's going on I can work something out. My goal is for each person to get both boxes and have a good experience out of it lol

I also blow YouTube up watching videos but there is a big difference between watching someone else do it and doing it yourself.

That's probably the biggest problem I have is with how much cotton do I need to use... Hopefully there will be some cotton in the box so I can resume my studies :)

Have u tried rayon yet? I think it has a very clean taste. I am definitely happy with it.

Took me building constantly for two weeks to make really good wicks
Alot ofnit is learning what works and what doesn't add cotton remove cotton different cuts ect ect a poor wick can wreck a build and even choke a coil and give a burnt taste so its basically practice practice practice

Protip go to Sally's and get a 500ft box of rayon for 10.99$ and you won't have to worry about running out if wick for a while

Well I've had a few worries at times like bondo for example (sorry bro but its true) he didn't talk much and when the box went to him in 6.0 I was like oh lord we don't even know this dude.... But he jumped in participated and they came back and was all chatty after the box but one of the more chattier people prior to the boxes start ended up leaving the box wrecked and he was at the beginning so can't ever tell simply by if someone is active or not... Its basically all a gamble any way

Orchids and kayfuns are just retarded once you get them right you do it again and again just to make sure ... Its such a pain in the ass to wick them

Its hard to explain but you use half the wick in the juice channel and the other half as a stopper above the juice channel

I don't chat alot mainly because I'm constantly working but also partly because I have a nasty habit of putting my foot in my mouth.;)
Even though i dont post much I do check the forums multiple times daily.

To me, this looks like you don't have hardly any cotton in the coils. Is it a "less is more" type deal?

Well look at this I stay away for a night and everyone gets chatty. How is everyone doing. i am not too worried myself about the group, and it is definitely good hearing from you all, even if we aren't chatting back and forth for long. I like to go back and read everything too.

A typical problem for new builders is they use too much cotton. You basically only need enough cotton to touch the bottom so it can draw your juice up. heat rises and so will your juice.

i have learned alot from you already man. And the online forums in general. I was scared to do it myself for the first month, and then it got to where my cotton was so gunky i said screw it and did it myself. First time It was most definitely to much, I was getting a burn taste. Second time a bit better. Now i can pretty much eyeball it. Whether its an organic cotton ball, japanese cotton, cotton bacon, or anything else. I have liked cotton balls best so far, but I am probably gonna get some rayon after hearing you guys talk so positive about it.

I think cotton bacon v2 has a very clean taste to them.. Easy to work with & holds juice pretty well.. I learned how to wick by watching youtube videos & googling pics of the attys that i own.. Hardest time i had wicking was the goblin but after @dre showed me how to do it & a couple builds later,I believe i may have perfected it lol

I use cotton bacon as well. I tried the Japanese cotton sheets and they always tasted funny. When I first started building my own coils, I built a new coil every day for about a two week period just to see what I personally liked. That give me a lot of opportunities to practice my wicking.

I have the Goblin mini and I use it every day. I have 2 26ga kanthal wire builds at about . 44 ohm. It's awesome. Wicking is a bitch. It's gotta be just right or else the juice will pour out of the air holes in the bottom.

ive tried other tanks but none can compare to the goblin as of yet.. Im waiting for the smok tfv4,hoping that tank could end the goblins run lol
That statement is exactly why i really didn't get into tanks yet, basically it seems like there are so many thing that can be done to make them even better and new ones come out pretty often. I have continually heard good things about the goblin/ arctic/ and another that is slipping my mind at the moment. The other one you mentioned has been talked about a whole lot lately too. I am probably gonna get that goblin though. They retail for about 18bucks right.
