Hear, HEAR!
Look at it this way, CMD - in Vapeworld, we CAN have Variable Voltage without wattage, but we CANNOT have Variable Wattage without voltage (aka, "Of chickens & eggs").
B'sides - volts taste better.
To paraphrase a well known kontributor, "I'z kornfufsed".
This debate was foreseen by the great wizards' council named Diesel in 1980, and they proclaimed the winner "Watts (used) In A tank."
Shawn, ya know ya can't cloud chase with a Provari. (3.5 Amp limit)
You need to get at least 35 amps out of that Trustfire to cloud chase!!
disclaimer: Don't do it!!!
I picked a good topic, huh? I'm actually surprised that the thread has gone this far. I know all this has been discussed in past threads. I took a short leave of absence from the forum recently due to some minor tech difficulties with a new cell phone. I was also surprised when I came back as to how "dead" the forum seems. Nothing much new to see here. Sad, really.Oh wow, this really takes me back to good old days of ECF in its heyday, lol. We've even got the volts vs watts shenanigans going on
IMO, both rayon and cotton are great if they are set up right. Neither one has any benefit in wicking, flavor, how long they last in a coil or how bad they taste if you burn juice on them. And the same for silica, ss mesh, gauze and hemp. I'm thinking I've missed a couple, but that's all I remember using right now over the years
And @DPLongo22, you know you can't vape volts. Volts with no amps doesn't create heat. That's because there are no watts in the picture. Volts times amps equals watts, therefore you can only vape watts
There, I feel so much better now.
Hey, how come no-one mentioned cloud chasing and Provari's?!!?
It's been happening for some time, across all the ecig forums, as vaping became more mainstream. The restrictions and shrinkage of the US market has accelerated it rapidly in the last year.
An entire generation of vapers may never know the ultimate joy of silica wicking and those tasty volts.
It's one of the reasons I went back to reddit. But it doesn't matter much since the vast majority of threads there are about disposables and pod systems neither of which I have much interest in. Top that off with the pitfalls of reddit in general and it's not exactly a great alternative. But the classifieds are at least very active.
Paraphrasing Norman Greenbaum lyrics,
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go have a vape that's the best
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go have a vape that's the best
Ummmmmmmmmm. <blush> I do knot!
In fact, and appreciations in advance to those who do not tattle, I am a konfirmed kottonatti at this point in my vape life.
(Anyone want a TEXAN-sized bag of the Ray-Ray stuff?)
Hopefully, maybe, perhaps, eventually I would have found your thread, but (dammmm) DPL dragged me back into the forum (yes, kicking and screaming). He's such a good friend.
Seems like rayon requires a witches brew of chemicals in its production.
From Wikipedia:
Rayon is a synthetic fiber, made from natural sources of regenerated cellulose, such as wood and related agricultural products. It has the same molecular structure as cellulose. It is also called Viscose. Many types and grades of viscose fibers and films exist. Some imitate the feel and texture of natural fibers such as silk, wool, cotton, and linen. The types that resemble silk are often called artificial silk.
The fibre is used to make textiles for clothing and other purposes. Rayon production involves solubilizing cellulose to allow turning the fibers into required form. Three common ways to solubilize are the Cupro process, not in use today, using ammoniacal solutions of copper salts; the Viscose process, the most common today, using alkali and carbon sulfide; and the Lyocell process, using amine oxide. The last avoids the neurotoxic carbon sulfide of the viscose process but is also more expensive.
Back when I was still stocking up, I bought nearly a pallet of cotton bacon, so I'll be using that for the foreseeable future.
In the discussion above, I'm surprised no one has tried turkey bacon.

I don't like
I don't like the taste I get from rayon. Gave my sally beauty rayon to my wife's hairdresser. Mostl using Labo puffs pads now.

I was never exactly sure why, but from the moment it hit the vape scene, my brain equated rayon with those old, horrid double-knit pants and suits that somewhere made it to "Bigs" status back in the early 1970s.
Possibly related, I was never able to fully embrace it as a vape option. To me, it always tasted like Tang, or maybe Tab soda. RC Cola, possibly (etc., etc.).
"Less filling. Tastes great."
