So I’ve been hearing a lot of about cotton lately.

COTTON –  COTTON – COTTON !!!

I always doubt until I try for myself.

Finally, the Golden Greek God himself came down from Mount Olympus and said, “Hey Feel, you should try some cotton.”

I’m one of those guys who, if I can get it to work well and I’m satisfied with the vape, I call it good enough. If I can get a slightly better vape but it increases my build time or adds steps to my build, I will usually shy away and stick what with works “good enough”.

Since using cotton simply changes one material for another, I decided to give it a try and bought some from Mod & World.

My first attempt was using it in the Russian. I rebuilt it last night. I wasn’t expecting much, but I’m quite surprised and pleased.  I made sure the wick was boiled & dried before using it, and that the wick and coil were well primed before the Russian was buttoned up.

This is one of the issues with cotton.  It burns.  So if your wick isn’t always nice and wet, it could potentially burn, unlike silica which has much higher temperature resistance.  Dry burning is also out when using cotton!

Unlike my experiences with Ekowool, which I’m not completely sold on yet, I liked the flavor of the cotton right off the bat.  I thought it was slightly better & cleaner than silica.  Wicking has also been flawless so far.

I see more cotton wicks in my future and look forward to trying this in more devices.

Every now and then I get something that surprises me and exceeds my expectations so let me start off this New In The Queue with a couple comments about the V3 .50 Cal from V3tronix.

Now, it does have some funky configurations and it may not be one you’ll want to take to the air port and try to get past TSA ;-), but what is does have is some of the finest machining I’ve seen. Not to mention a bottom button with a lock done right. Very impressive gentlemen.

Additional items…

• The Phantom V2
• The Aspire BDC Clearomizer (as far as I know, this is the first dual bottom coil clearomizer)
• The Kamry X8 Tank
• The Futura DNA-20 Tube Mod
