[QUOTE="HUAINAMACHERO, post: 426155, member: 13040"] Ok, so I got interested in the So I made a little experiment. I compared the burning time of a dry cotton ball, and a vaseline impregnated cotton ball. The dry one burned for only 40 seconds, while the one with vaseline burned for 3 minutes 30 seconds. As with everything in life there are a lot of variables around this, and what I found is that if you burn the cotton balls with vaseline making the fibers to be loose, they will burn very fast, but if you tighten the cotton ball with vaseline very tight it will burn for 5 minutes 40 seconds!!!. Great little tip I learned reading this thread. Thanks guys. Here are some pics. On the left the vaseline coated cotton ball still burning while the dry one is off.
