I just switched the Genelocity Giant over to DM Viskose. I also changed the coil to a 6 wrap on 4.5mm (still a Z coil), the 4 wrap was getting hot legs as there is 15mm between the post holes. I used 3 layers thick in the coil, fluffed, trimmed and laid on the deck. The Viskose has no problem feeding a coil of that size as it pulls the juice up through the SS cables quite nicely.
A cleaner vape than Sally's, too bad we can't get them here easily.

It's all about coil density and thinning the tails, a little experimentation untill you get it right for each atty. You cannot apply cotton wicking techniques to Rayon.
In the details of rayon wicking theory, thinning is a must if the wick is longer than the deck or makes a bend.
Depending on the tank, amount of juice flow, type of juice and power levels, you may want to thin more. Newer tanks have much more juice flow and hugher power capabilities so you can at times get away with more tail and not notice any problem.
The col
Technically the tail is the 20% or so that I pushed into the wells. Then I trimmed the rest to deck width.
From the op-
Just about everything you need to know about rayon and wicking strategy is on the first few pages of this thread.
Wow that's a big boy!
I had a LUX at the register ready to check out. The register attendant got distracted with someone else so I took a moment to skim through the manual. Only capable of 70W in TC....whaaaat?!
Bummer. That's a game killer for me. All of my TC builds require more than 70w.Love the form factor and batt capacity though. The menu system is pretty cool too.
I don't know what came over me:
I bit the bullet & finally built my NextGen clone-
with 100% tencel fibres.
It was pretty easy, really.
Saliva-moistened straight fibres down the tunnel-
minimal thinning
top dry for easier fanning
2 sides- didn't check to see if there are 2 juice holes...lol
Back-combed the top wrap- juiced it to keep it in place & attached & wrapped the coil pretty snugly.
(Twisted 30G TiNi---ha ha I like TC)
0.62Ω
24W and old high PG 18mg/ml juice & wow!
Nothing like the nic hit of a brand new tencel wick
Doesn't match the flavour of parallel in Derringer v3, but it is my new #1 tank.
I'm amazed at how well the tencel wicks from that/those tiny juice hole/s.
I'm not sure how well this would work for high VG
I'm really pleased about not having to try stainless steel mesh.
EDIT: Forgot to mention- the final trim was after everything was firing, so I could leave some tencel on the legs.

That's one of the things I hate about the Wraith Squonker, only 50W in TC. One has to build accordingly.I had a LUX at the register ready to check out. The register attendant got distracted with someone else so I took a moment to skim through the manual. Only capable of 70W in TC....whaaaat?!
Love the form factor and batt capacity though. The menu system is pretty cool too.
The latest firmware supposedly removed the TC limitation on the LUX, I'll let you know if this is the case.
Where does everyone buy their rayon? I'm thinking about trying it out.
See if there is a Sally's near you. This is the stuff you want. Or if you want just a little shoot me your mailing address. and I'll send you some.

I bought my 40ft box from amazon this summer to try before commiting to a 500ft box and still have tons of it left - https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B018IYY3I4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Also, some use Delasco's Rayon Balls. I can send a few of those also.

Sally's does have a 50' roll I believe, but I think it costs more, but yeah 50' would last quite awhile.
Actually it's a 3 lb. box.
CelluCotton Beauty Coil 3lbs.
