I prefer rayon as my go-to wicking material. I cut my tails at a 45 degree angle and trim it to just rest on the deck and leave the floor exposed for proper drainage. Like DB mentioned, you need to add more rayon compared to cotton and make it a tighter fit thru the coil because as rayon ages with juice it will shrink a bit. If it shrinks too much after a bit of use and doesn't make contact with the coil all the way around you will get spit back and hot juice pops. I wick my nuppins for about 5-6 good pulls before I squonking again.

I have used thinner tails too, but need to squonk every other hit since it won't hold as much juice. There's a whole group of squonkers that prefer less wicking and squonk every hit for the freshest taste. Personally I like a few pulls before I have to squonk again, so it eventually becomes a matter of personal preference.
My current wicking seems to give 2-3 hits before needing to squonk. I guess that is acceptable, considering a squeeze of a bottle is much easier then dripping :D

I have done some posting in dat thread meself :p
my query was squonk specific in how people were running their tails to maximize vape time between squonks. Sorry if I didn't ask it in a clear enough manner, English is only my first language after all :blink:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think my problem is I am used to thinning out my tails too much for my RTA's, my next rewick I will try and leave them a little "fatter" and see how that does me :p

I'm way too new to Rayon USM, all I know is I've been thinning my tails and getting more hits per squonk than 2-3...that said I tend to squonk every 3-4 hits out of habit without thinking about it. Left over from the old days of running RM2s (2-3 hits per squonk on a tiny chambered coil). Squonking becomes such second nature you won't even think about it :) but I would imagine a bit thicker of a tail may help, or longer rather? I want to play with tail density because rayon wicks too well for me, it floods my coil almost everytime and splatters hot juice :w00t:

But for the record cotton has never ever tasted even close to the flavor I get off rayon. Sloth on a mission...will figure it out :D
