I just have a lowly EVOD.
I guess I'm just in JV Tootle Puffer Spring Training.

The fiance's new tootle puffer. Best part is I got it for free. Hopefully it keeps her away from my sigeleis. Lol

My experience as a Rayon-wicking tootle puffer.
I'm currently using CC Rayon (from Sally's) in everything I vape: Evod, Evod Glass, GS-H2, PT2 w/AFC, 19mm KF clone, KFL+v2 clone, Erlkonigin clone, IGO L, Veritas clone, Plume Veil clone. I'm also using up my stock of Aspire BVCs in an Anyvape Peakomizer. When the BVCs are gone, so is the Peakomizer.
I have tried and have in stock: twisted & braided silica, organic cotton balls, KGD & CC Rayon. I don't boil/treat anything.
If you're keeping your vapes to 10W or less, any organic cotton works great. I plan to never use silica again.
Why I like Rayon:
After a 2-3 week learning curve, I find Rayon the easiest and most consistent wicking material. The flavor is superb with no break-in period. It wicks like an SOB. I vape all my attys dry with no dry/burnt hits. The flavor drops off dramatically before any burnt/dry hits occur, warning me to refill/drip. Rayon has a higher singe point than cotton. At most, Rayon has a burning paper taste/smell when run too hot. If you get a nasty/chemically taste, it's the residue burning on the coils. Dr. Farsalinos believes this to be bad and probably means your build needs a bit more wick. My wicks last 40-60ml between changes. Coils last 6-10 weeks, depending on gauge.
JeremyR has an epically superb thread on Rayon. Many helpful people with many tutorials:

I vape all my "tanks" @ 10-15W (occasionally 18 on the Erlk) and my RDAs @ 15-25W. This may be pushing the "tootle puffing" definition. But that's where I am.
Mods still in rotation include: iTaste VTR, DIY VAMO box mod, iStick 20W and a rebuilt Cloupor DNA 30 Hana clone. My favorite go-to is my iStick 30W!
I DIY my e-liquid @ 85-95% VG and have NO wicking/leaking issues.
I rebuild my smaller tanks (Evods, GS-H2; all air holes have been opened to at least 1/16") thusly:
-Horizontally: 30g KA1 @ 1.59mm (1/16"), tensioned, symmetrical-spaced coil from 1.4-1.6Ω
-Vertically (becoming more rare): 28g KA1 @ 2.38mm (3/32") TMC (tensioned micro-coil) from 1.4-1.6Ω
ProTank 2 w/AFC:
-Horizontally: 28g KA1 @ approximately 2.6mm (#4 machine screw), tensioned/spaced around 1.3-1.4Ω
-Wick channels in heads are opened up to 2.6mm with a needle file.
-Positive pin & chimney are opened up as much as possible with the needle file.
-Holes on AFC base are drilled out to 1/16".
-This build gives a stock KFL a run for its money with a bit more airflow.
RTAs & RDAs:
Horizontal: 28g KA1 @ 3mm, tensioned/spaced; RTAs @ 1.2Ω, RDAs @ 1.0-1.2Ω.
For those unable/unwilling to rebuild, I'm told the Eleaf GS Air and GS Air-M are excellent!
I hope this is helpful to some. Ask away if you have any questions.
Cheers!

I use rayon exclusively for the same reasons. Great wicking, flavor, easy to work with and higher burn point than cotton. Cotton also swells and blocks air in my Rose. I use 1 to 1.2 in RTA's and GSAs ... no problems. Thanks JeremyR (Rayon Pioneer)
i wanted to put the other one with the purple background into my sig (or stealing atty pop's avPREMATURE CONGRATULATIONS on a 100 page thread featuring new terminology (Tootle Puffer), and in under 5 days.
Extra points for motivating several new signatures, including this little guy:
) but i'm only allowed one image in my signature
i'd try it just for the sake of trying it.....
but then again this is me
i've tried bacon vanilla icecream, hot dog and Italian cheese i'll try just about anything once *wait* don't reply to that
all already been made
I have caspian, jalapeno, and i forget whatelse laying around that i still need to try
Guilty of puffing tootles - Spinner batteries and smoketek single coil BCC basically throwaway clearos. But my puffing of the tootles has me 4 weeks free of the stinkies as of today!
I just have a lowly EVOD.

Evods are my high power vapes.
Congrats uab. That's great.Guilty of puffing tootles - Spinner batteries and smoketek single coil BCC basically throwaway clearos. But my puffing of the tootles has me 4 weeks free of the stinkies as of today!
I won't argue with the quality, but it was hard enough going into Sally's and buying it...I'm not going to the drugstore for my rayon.
I usually get a box of condoms an a box of the Kotex tampoons at the same time. Then I politely tell my pharmacist that if by using the first product my wife don't need the second product, I will be back with a shotgun!
STOP!
Why is it that every thread in every forum evolves into wicking and rebuilding! This is not a conversion thread. This is not a thread where one has to defend their choice not to rebuild. There are thousands of threads on ECF for such talk. This looses 90% of tootie puffers including me for no other reason than
it's B-O-R-I-N-G. Go anywhere else. Please.

I agree! I think it's fair to say that many, if not most, of us are tootlers because that's what we LIKE! It gets the job done! (staying off coffin nails!)
On a cheerier note... all those tootle goodies I ordered Saturday HAVE SHIPPED!!!!
And apparently Durham, NC, has figured out the secret of teleportation, as my flavors from BCV arrived in Atlanta from Durham without benefit of any in-between steps! At least according to the USPS.
So I have my flavors and can proceed with my mixed-fruit vape yumminess.

Holy Toodles Batman! I thought going off for the weekend while ECF did it's shutdown change over I would be safe. Dang it maan, it has taken 16 mls of juice, 3 barq's rootbeers and several litterbox runs to get caught up! I have some serious worries about a 3 to 4 week jaunt I am considering this summer. Maybe I will just need to get banned right before we leave

Or just keep up while you're gone with a smart phone... apparently this new software they're switching to is more flexible for use with mobile devices. Or, you can pick up a tablet pretty cheaply nowadays. I just got a new laptop, and I'm downright flabbergasted at how great a PC I was able to get, for so little $$$.
