Just bring a large plastic bag, stuff the rayon in it, then sit on the bag to mush it down and stuff it in your suitcase. I'll bet you could get the largest box in that way.
Guys what's the smallest box I can get from Sally's? I'll be in the states next week, and would like to bring a manageable size home![]()

buy a stuffed animal that you can carry on the return flight. Take out the stuffing and put the rayon in.
Now... are you bringing any of that Grecian titanium alloy wire with you?!
Lol... Smuggling rayon it sounds like. Lol
You been cracking me up lately, that comment about wierdos on the internet. Lol!

Do you have a buddy in the states you can ship it to? You can order box #44130 (40ft) and have it shipped there (Sally's doesn't carry that size). But it would probably end up costing MORE than the 500ft box (#44060) from Sally's. Or just do what Awsum said. If you'll have access to a vacuum cleaner one you get here, you can get one of those vacuum storage bags that you can suck all the air out of (Bed, Bath & Beyond, Harbor Freight), then it would be nice, compact, waterproof and super-flat.

You should be able to stuff enough in one of these:

Each store can carry their own selection for products like this, so which ones will be available kinda depends on the store. I would suggest contacting the local store and making sure they will have whichever box you want available.
I suggest using the Ziploc Roll-Up Space Bags...
The 'Carry-On' sized bag might very well hold a 3# box of CelluCotton with room for some TIDI and Delasco balls as wellIf you do get a multi-pack box, you might save enough room in your luggage for other unexpected purchases

Just buy a pillow case stuff it with the rayon and tell the hostess it is your personal non allergenic pillow. They even sell pillow cases with zippers so you don't have to worry about sealing it.
I foresee someone being stripped and cavity searched by TSA!![]()
Ok guys so finally took some pics of my wicking technique. What instigated this is that getting the right density was a headache especially for beginners. I got got the density right a lot of times but it had always one problem. The center of the cool is always the week spot. When you insert a wick it gets compressed. When you take it back and forth, you secure the edges but the middle of the coil will be the weakest point.
I have said before, when using a dripper sometimes I forget to drip or squonk. I would be busy at work and just forget. So i get a dry hit. With ever dry hit, the middle of the wick goes down. Probably because of scorching a little or because it cannot hold more juice as before I dunno but it does. After that point you will get more dry hits one after the other.
So what I did is use 2 pieces of rayon:
The pieces are of random size not too small but smaller than what you would usually use as a full wick.
You roll the edges:
And now you insert from both sides:
It is not easy the first time but gets really simple the more you do it. Once you have 2 tips showing, hold one and with the other hand (might need a tweezer, I don't anymore) pull the other end.
The trick is to pull both at the same time. They will interlock and provide a consistent thickness in the middle. Don't pull too much for it not to choke. But the benefit here is that the two pieces push each other toward the coil and push out the air without leaving gaps at the center of the coil.
Then cut the tails and put liquid.
I have been using this method for a while. Still dry hit lead to more dry hits but now you get around 4 or 5 warning toots since the wick is touching the coil in more places and takes the form of the coil. The pushing of 2 wicks ensures better coverage at the coil from the inside.
