Talking of kanger...I never had any luck with any of the dual coils for the protank 3 or aerotanks - worst coils ever for me, however their new vocc single coils work really well.

1.5's in cotton excellent....though have to say this one in silica is vaping a treat.

Actually, and sorry JeremyR, it was no one in this thread or even in this forum that got me started using rayon. The folks at my local b&m did. And they knew nothing about ecf until I signed into my account here about a month ago.

Lynn, truth be told, most (if not all) of the great innovations and inventions in vaping started on ECF and other vaping forums all over the world. B&Ms and/or big Chinese manufacturers learn from our talented modders and the word goes out. Everything you buy from Chinese manufacturers (and in you B&M store) nowadays was invented on this forum (and similar forums in Germany, Greece, Russia, England, etc.) by vapers who were not satisfied with the hardware they were using. Trust me. Carto tanks, fillerless clearomizers, APVs, RBAs, RDAs, variable voltage and variable wattage batteries, and now the DNA 40 with temperature limitation. :D

No, we didn't know much, but we asked questions, we contacted people who did know--our resident chemists and materials engineers and electricians. Our modders are extremely clever. Many commercial juice makers started here, as fellow ECF rank and file DIY enthusiasts. And we enlisted real experts, like our favorite cardiologist Dr. Farsalinos, who's conducting all kinds of fascinating studies of eliquids, high temperature vaping, for example.

This thread alone led to many changes in the "industry." Many of the participants (including my dear friend Tibs and yours truly) were invited to be beta testers for several carto manufacturers. ;)

The industry continues to develop through our feedback. Feedback from vapers, reviewers, vendors, bloggers...

And if you don't believe me, behold the first carto tank/clearomizer, invented by my dear friend br5495. :)

That was another epic thread, BTW--so many great things were invented by those guys and subsequently manufactured in China. :)

So, again, big thank you to our modders and inventors, including @JeremyR.

Sorry, didn't mean to be preachy, but it's worth repeating...

Really? I liked them a lot. Never had a problem with them--and I tried all of their 3 versions. :lol: I still use my Aerotanks.

Katya, my point was that I was using rayon long before I came to this thread. I took some notes when I first started building pro tank coils...that was in October of 2014. At that time I was solely in the Nicoticket forum. I didn't know the rest of ecf even existed until maybe March of this year. Whatever...not going to argue the point. Doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things is it?

Aye I had a nightmare with all three versions of the dual coils, bought from different stores and think I verified all as non clones. May have been user error who knows. But the new vocc work just fine for me straight off the bat.

Thought it was my old ego batteries, bought the mvp 20 & 3.0 and still no joy, tried all manner of fixes...learnt more about vaping and bought some of the version 3 and nope no good. Final fling of the dice when I heard the vocc had come out and all tanks work just fine now!

Baffling...then again I am having no issue with the cotton 1.2's for the gs air...must just be the way I vape.

Love that first tank picture btw a real piece of history.

My point is that you were using rayon because our modders had tested it and recommended it before you even started vaping, I suspect. Our modders and vapers who use RBAs have been experimenting with different wicking materials for years--everything from stainless steel mesh, silica rope, eco wool, hemp, alpaca wool, cotton balls, rayon (cellucotton) to Japanese organic cotton has been tested and debated here and on other e-cigarette forums and on YouTube for a long time.

Check our modders forum and you'll find several mile-long threads about different wicking materials, different metals and alloys used in out hardware, wires, polycarbonate, nickel-plated drip tips, and diacetyl...:)

If it doesn't matter to you, that's fine. I'm just stating it for the record. Your B&M is selling rayon because our modders had tested it and started to recommend it. Before that, all we had out of China was silica rope. ;)

Right? :lol:

Then came the syringe mod. Yup, we used to slice up syringes to make our carto tanks. :facepalm:

Sorry, I'm feeling nostalgic today...




ETA: Anyone needs a syringe? I got plenty. To a good home... :lol:
