That is true, I went a bit lighter on the rayon this time, squeaky but not distorting my coil and it worked great. So glad I tried the rayon too. I have a bunch of cotton and only a little rayon, figures I'd like the rayon LOL
i have a sewing needle i use to tuck my rayon into its final resting place,, when i think i am done i use the needle to ensure i can still get the needle in between the ring and base (i am talking about griffin tank),, if the needle fits =i have a good balance of 'thicker rayon that still flows the juice really well without leaking'.... on my others i sorta 'fan it out' at the tail to make sure the fan stops the juice from waterfalling the atty's.. it becomes a rayon dam.View attachment 602985 Trying get a pic of the CLR showing rayon wick ends, it seems to be wicking ok now, I did not thin them out. Does it look too poufy??
rayon is the bmw of vape wicking,, cotton is for noobies
to avoid the rayon flavor on 1st few hits,,, after i wick and juice and test fire,, i flood the wick 1 more time with a lot of juice. replace the top cap and vape,, that flooding ensures its wet and i dont have to experience that rayon break in period. (i tend to do this with juice flow closed when possible)
1 coil tends to last me about 400-500mls,, then i replace or dry burn (depending on guage and whats going on),, i rewick about every 210 mls (7x30mls/day)
I have thought about doing the priming of the wick from the inside out with pulses on the tank bases that I can. i.e. drip on the wire and keep pulsing/dripping until the juice works it's way out to the tails and they are completely saturated instead of just soaking it and breaking it in while vaping. I will try that with the next tank I have to re-wick which should be soon.

you are an inspiration! anytime i pity myself i remind myself that someone else has done it with more effort and problems than i have.
fwiw,, the tractor supply store at Myrtle Beach is sold out of pg $22 gal,,,,,,,,,,,sorry i just 'had to have it' ........we passed by 3 TS's before we timed it right to hit up this one
I tried DL hits and they are not for me, gave me instant lung pain. Guess my lungs had enough abuse from smoking LOL But I think I will like a bit extra air flow, the V1 is pretty tight, not bad tho but think I will like a bit more air
I MTL and either V1 or V2 work for me, I like em both.
I think putting together these attys from parts is just brilliant!!
I'm stocked up with my authentic KFL+'s and my 2 EHPro Clones, so I don't need to buy any more.
But *serious* kudos to whoever came up with that idea.
I really love the way the KFL+'s vape, those and my RM2's, and I'm ALL set. Happy camper/vaper.
Neither might be the vaping style for some, but for me, it's just about perfect..
The only thing that would make them better is if you could remove the *rebuilding* part, but that's just not realistic.
I still have some other tanks that I haven't really tried beyond making sure that they work.
They need to be used with a lowered nic level, and I just haven't taken time to mix that up...but I'll eventually get to that too.

Bnrkwest, I'm sure that anyone on this board who uses rayon has way too much. If no one in the States can send you some, PM me. I've got 40 ft of the damn stuff. [emoji3]
ditto-- i send rayon out often with SASE envelopes
I have been using KFL's, STM's, Serpent Mini's, ego one's, and an Erlk. The KFL's have been changed over, and will be replacing most of the others with the KFL's. The Erlk I like, so it will stay active.
Shhhhhhh, no.
Bnrkwest actually spins.
. We want her to get the GINORMOUS box and spin it so we can see how beautiful the yarns will turn out. JK.
So you like them modified better?
I guess modifying mine didn't really appeal to me (as much) because I need/want the extra volume. I take two tanks with me to work, so I can just swap instead of refilling.
Yes, I like them better modified as they are shorter, and lighter. I see your point tho. I am retired, so I'm at home most of the time and don't need the larger volume.
Lighter would definitely be good though too.
A KFL+ on a Classic V2 ProVari, running 18650, could be classified as a weapon.
I just figure my arms need the exercise.
I would also go with rebuilding by scratch the KFL's, but don't like plastic tanks. so afraid they will crack with my juices. I think it's really neat all the looks and styles you can put together.
I did get my copper Nemmy (logo free cuz don't like it) today in the mail with extra magnets. Took the spring out and left it in the mech as not to have it stressed before I ever use it which may be years.
That would be the deal breaker for me, one of my favorite vapes is a tank cracker/froster.
I run my KFL's with the stainless insert...even more added weight.
