Thanks, will try it Toastie.
I just can't understand how some of you guys just cut edges and put it in the holes like its nothing, and its working.
I tried all possible things and still can't get nothing but dry vapour...
Sorry to chime in, I don't know your experience, nor do I own the mini
(own the larger 3.5ml version which is very good)
But - are you ensuring the grain direction runs through the coil ???
If the grain direction or the cotton is cut the wrong side the direction is different
& it does not wick efficiently as ensuring the grain runs through the coil
This grain direction doesn't get explained enough imho
If you look at the Scottish Roll method, pulling off one thin layer and stretching it
the whole process demonstrates this cotton grain quite well
You
gently lightly tug the cotton & it will pull one way than other
where you can tug it - that is the direction you cut upwards from following grain
The Scottish Roll, you stretch out the single thin layer bit by bit
to create a stretched out ultra thin layer, you then roll up "fairly" tightly, not ultra tight
and then use that to wick up.....
But you realise that is the grain of the cotton running straight through the coil direction
(like it should do)
I learnt though very odd builds a number of bad builds was coz I was cutting the cotton the wrong way
It would work sometimes but soon clogged up on drawing like a manky clogged coil
as the juice wasn't flowing as well as the grain direction running correctly through the coil
(like you do on the Scottish Roll technique)
I don't know why but a lot of guides don't explain this very often but it makes a difference
see #1
pull the cotton gently - where you can pull it, the grain direction is running between your thumbs.....
