HOW TO WICK A COIL with Cotton
2
Introduction
While there are many discussions on how to build
the coils for the vaporizer, wicks are often the
most ignored part. The right wicking material
plays a key role in making or breaking the vaping
experience. Even though you dont consider it
much, it is important to know about the wicking
technique.

Wicking Materials
There are various types of wicking materials and
each of these has it perks. There are organic
vape cotton, silica, rayon fiber, ekowool and Koh
Gen Do, etc. Out of these, the organic cotton is
the best option and suitable for all types of
builds. However, ensure the wicking material you
choose isnt bleached and comes chemical free.
Many vapers suggest that you boil it for 15
minutes before using it to ensure it is safe and
clean.

Cotton Measurement
The cotton measurement is crucial to ensure you
get the right flavor and vapor. Usually, the
right cotton needs to be 1.5 to 2 times the
width of the coil. However, the length doesnt
actually matter much. Ideally, the vape cotton
should be 2 to 3 times the size of the deck you
are actually using.

Cotton Tapering
Tapering is a technique that has won the vape
community largely. In fact, it has become really
popular that you can even buy pe-tapered organic
cotton for the builds. But dont waste the money.
Tapering cotton is quite simple to get. Just hold
the measured wick in the palm of the hands and
lightly twist the ends in the opposite direction.

Cotton Feeding
In case of cotton feeding, you need to take one
end of the hand tapered cotton and insert it
into the coil. If the cotton moves slightly
through the coil. It maintains enough resistance
so that it cannot be pulled easily, it means you
have enough cotton. A good way to tell if you
have enough cotton is by both the sides.
7
Cutting To Length
To do that simply bend both the sides of the
cotton and ensure they touch the base of the
topper. Next, press both sides inwards, making a
indentation with the fingernail in that cotton.
It is better to leave a little extra length.
Finally, you must cut each side on the line left
by the fingernail.
8
Cotton Brushing
Cotton brushing is not that important, it helps
increase the absorbent surface area on each of
the sides. In order to brush the cotton, take a
small builders rod and move to pull the rod
through the cotton on either sides( like brushing
the hair. You can remove the fuzziness after you
have finished.
9
Cotton Tucking
When you are about to do cotton tucking, ensure
take one side of the cotton and loop it into the
desk. Next, you must repeat the other side. Once
you have finished tucking both the sides, poof
every side upward slightly with the building
tool.
