Just hemp

[junquedujour]

it is a bugger to work with, not only cuz of the shape, but cuz it's so springy. i have been using it very successfully in drippers and/or bottom-feds on the reo. i stretch just enough of a *fuzz ball* to pull thru the coil (where it slides effortlessly) and then *puddle* the remaining around and under the coil.

oh, and i am not a sub-ohmer, so as always YMMV.

Got some Seacell from a friend. Looks a lot like the ramie. Put some in a Taifun GT double 1.10 coil at 17 watts it is vaping great. Very clean flavor. Really liking it. Will do some tests to see how it compares at wicking, but just from the use I can see it is very good. Now to see if it will last with the heat. I don't know where she bought this seaweed fiber but it is right up there with hemp and ramie on flavor and vapor production.

A quick lookup for Seacell turned up this:

The idea behind SeaCell® is really rather simple: a cellulose-based fiber is manufactured using the so-called Lyocell process. This Lyocell fiber then serves as the “functioning substrate” for the seaweed.

Seaweed is added as the active substance for a very good reason. The fact that this marine plant is rich in trace elements has been well known since the times of Chinese medicine, and seaweed has also been proved to protect the skin and have anti-inflammatory properties. It is seaweed which forms the basis of the SeaCell® fiber.

That'd make for a hell of a medicated wick

In other words, it's just rayon - with a small % of seaweed - or did I get it wrong?

so glad you like it! i have been using the seacell exclusively and i like it much better than all the other wicking materials i have used. it's been extremely tolerant and long-lasting for my NON sub-ohm coils.

this is from the paradisefibers site:

This wonderfully silky fiber is perfect on it's own or used for blending with other fibers. SeaCell is about 4" long and very strong. Here's a little bit of information on this wonderful fiber. SeaCell pure is a cellulose fiber containing seaweed (e.g. ascophyllum nodosum). The idea behind SeaCell is actually quite simple: The natural raw materials cellulose and seaweed represent the basis for the manufacture of the SeaCell fiber, employing the "Lyocell Process". The cellulose fibers act as functional substrate for the seaweed. Breathable Soft Supports skin blood flow Stimulates skin cell regeneration Pleasant touch, comfortable feel

sorry about that. try SHIP728. when they offer the free shipping code (which seems often, but it changes often also) it is generally on their scrolling ad on the home page. i just looked and the SHIP728 is what is says today.
