Congrats on the Rose2 acquisition, have two myself. One vertical the other horizontal, both Ramized. lol.

Hmm, thinking Ramied would be a single rba setup and Ramized would refer to multiple rba's with ramie.. lmao.
I've tried ramie top in multiple ways.. Always the same result: loud hissing, burnt taste, however, the wick appears saturated and clean/unburnt. Suggestions? Cleaned with peroxide/baking soda and boiled/rinsed. The stuff is dead clean for sure. Been juicing it up and running it through horizontals. Tried verticals, but it was a hot mess and overwicked into a straight flood.
I'm guessing I'm using either too much wick, or not enough.. but it honestly looks like just the right amount to me haha.

Two main things about Ramie that I've observed, keeping the fibers straight and aligned improves wicking, and the density through the coils should pull through easily, when fibers are wet down with juice and compacted into the appropriate shape for the coil build.
For through the coil, I look at my juice ports or channels of the rba I am building. If going through a port, want my wick to be the exact size to totally fill that port when everything is in place and tightened. So number of juice ports comes into play also, and number of coils. Doing a single coil with 4 juice ports, will make my coil large enough so that when one strand is passed through it, can divide it into 2-3 strands, to fill the ports and loop down to the juice deck, to recover any over wick.
For Vertical coils, I shape the wick like a wide ribbon or shoelace, so that it's width will completely cover the length of the coil. And wrap around 1.5 to 2 times, depending on the rba.
When I build an rba, I first look to maximize it's watt threshold, then try to build to optimize the rba's features. Then go from there. Sometimes it takes 2-3 builds before totally satisfied. My first build, with any new rba, is always an horizontal micro coil, whether it be dual or single. That will give me a base vape of its potential, Then I modify my build to what I think would work best. Then go from there if needed.
I am ashamed to admit that it took me weeks to be able to wick confidently with ramie. Took the purchase of a high end rba for it to gel for me. Now use it exclusively in all my builds. When filling the magma, when dry, it's like a 3 stage process, first fill up both juice wells, watch the ramie soak up half the juice, then top off the juice wells. The Magmas "crater lake" juice wells hold almost 2 ml of juice. so it looks like the way I have the ramie wove through my dual verticals, the fiber holds about 1 ml of juice. it's pretty impressive to see.
Vape long and Prosper.!!!

Quoted myself for timestamp purposes.
After I placed my order with The Woolery on Tuesday last week, I subsequently received an e-mail informing me they were out of stock; they expected to receive more by the end of last week or sometime this week.
And sure enough, it's still out of stock... They expect it "within the next 7 days". But considering they told you just that last week, I'm not going to hold my breath for it to materialize any time soon. Shyte.
This kind of things royally pisses me off.. Managing inventory on an e-commerce site shouldn't really be rocket science, uh? /rant

Thankfully, I don't really know what I'm missing, LOL. For me, it's easier to treat out of stock experiences like co-ops. The Woolery prolly has no idea why so many people are ordering ramie? :shrug:
So, have we given up on the possibility of getting raw de-gummed Ramie fiber in an amount reasonable enough for a coop to handle?
Been using Ramie for a few months and it's now all I use.
I rolled a few wicks from the noil in the beginning but the tops are a lot easier to work with for that. Noil is great for packing around vert coils, it felts together pretty solid but still carries the liquid really well

yeah but group buys are not allowed here. you would have to set up a group buy in the right section for that is what he's saying 
What I am saying is that you'll understand more clearly, when you get a warning from a moderator about mentioning co-ops in a non co-op thread. This a thread about ramie not a co-op discussion thread.
And not really comfortable with you calling me buddy, don't know you well enough to be on that kind of terms of endearment.

Fun fact of the day: the "opposite" of resistance is Conductance, and it's unit symbol is the ohms symbol (omega) written upside down! Fancy that.
