How many wicks are in a 180 piece bag of Muji cotton pads?
What I have and use is a 180 piece bag of Muji cotton pads. Each piece gives me a rough 9 wicks. 180 * 9 = 1620 That's 9 wicks per piece, giving 1620 wicks. The 9 is an average though. I might get 6, maybe 12 per piece. I got those cotton pads from FastTech for $7.06. $7.06 / 1620 = 0.0043 cents per wick. Learning to use Scottish Roll technique helps out quite a bit as well.

Also, the actual process of the coil heating up from the middle on longer wraps can push out the juice physically and burn out the cotton left behind, easily.
