I have no idea. I did 3 different re-wicks last night due to the burnt taste. Last one I let sit for a good 5-10 min before I started vaping it and has been vaping like a dream since.

Rayon wick from sallys.....
I wish I could say it is the holy grail of wicking material.
I have done 2 builds in a kayfun. First one maybe not enough wick so I rebuilt using just a hair more rayon. It is maybe a hair easier to work with than cotton but compared to a good cotton build I don't feel it preforms any better. I have run 3 tanks of juice through my latest rayon setup. I have 500 feet of it so will probably still work with it for a while. Maybe next week I will feel different.... right now on the fence

Don't get the wait either, the rayon wicks much better than cotton...instantly noticed as soon as it's moistened.
I am not saying rayon wicks are bad... maybe more forgiving than cotton. I did notice some of the posters from another thread that are being blown away complained they could not get cotton right.
Hey I got 500 feet gotta use it for something.... along 90 cotton balls... 100 feet of silica....eckowool... 5 sheets of ss mesh...maybe even some ceraminc wicks laying around someplace too

Before y'all get too excited about Rayon, conversations have already started on Reddit about natural sea sponges for wicking. 
I couldn't find any reviews yet but I'm sure they're coming. And, you can grow them yourself! Yes you can, really. You really can....
Oh Man - say it isn't so!
ETS: (never mind the FDA, now we'll have to worry about PETA!)

Just let me know when we get to telekinesis. I'll pass on everything else.
Nothing wrong about the conversations for wicking material.
Somebody has to try something first...
I think the coversation from us regular joe's have had alot to do with the gear we are using today.... 4 years ago I started with a classic and 510 cart..... uck

I don't really understand needing to wait that long for rayon either... the one I did that had a fresh coil, yeah it had a little bit of a 'break in' period... but the couple I did with coils that were already working well, no time at all. I also do that bit with moistening the wick ends and placing them just so on the ledges, screw on the chimney bottom, check placement and add a couple more drops, close 'er up, fill, and vape away.
The real benefit I'm seeing from the rayon is being able to turn it up higher and not getting that awful burnt taste. When I first started vaping and didn't know any better, I was naturally using stock coils, wicked with silica, and I was turning it up to 9 and 10 watts, getting a pretty decent vape out of those lowly lil T3S tanks. But as soon as I started using cotton, I had to drop that a good bit, to no more than 8.5w, or get a burnt taste, no matter how much or how little cotton I used. Building my own coils with a larger diameter, 7/64 at the very least, I was able to avoid a lot of that, but not all by a long shot.
Sometime this weekend I'm going to try out my nano again, using this rayon; it should be a real improvement.

Does anyone know of a Nano kit that will work with the Kayfun Lite Plus V2 by Ehpro?
I have the medium set (among other things) on the way from GR-Modders
kayfun - Gr-Modders
I have 2 sets of nano rings but I like full disclosure.
The nano rings alone work without a short chimney but only with a wide bore drip tip.
My hope they all do; I have one on the way- will let you know.

I just got a Kayfun Lite + (second batch) from a B&M. Being a noob w/RBAs I got them to build it for me. The build: 30g on a 5/64 drill bit measuring 2.0 ohms. He used KGD cotton which I provided. I'm having serious wicking issues (I'm using Claim your Throne, a pretty thick juice). I keep getting dry hits at 8 watts on my Darkstar (a DNA30 device). I've already tightened up the airflow somewhat. Any advice?
I built my first Kaylite today. Took me about 4 hrs to get it right. I made a microcoil with 30guage on a 1.5mm (1/64") bit. Firt I tried torching the coil with bent needle nose pliers, didn't work because the pliers were a heat sink. Finally I was able to aneal the coil with the provori and tweezers.
I got stuck on the wick. I tried threading cotton and just couldn't get it thru the whole. Switched to one strand of 1mm silica. It worked but was awful tasting. (it was burnt in the center.)
Finally was able to thread the cotton thru. And then magic happened. I have never tasted Vaperite VR4 (my mainstay) like this, amazing.
flavor. Its just an Ephro unit, but works great.
My stumbling block is finding a way to load it. A syringe didn't work (27 guage.) I was lucky enough to find a vaperite sample bottle and that worked great but have no idea where to buy more.
Any way thanks for the help on these threads this is better than any clearomizer.

The viscosity of the juice shouldn't effect you on a kfl. From what I've seen on them the wicking is almost always the trickiest part.
Very little cotton- to just touch the floor of the deck, you don't want to block the juice channels.
Thread the cotton through the coils and it should just run the coil - or almost not touch. Cotton expands as it gets wet.- and dampen the cotton before you finish assembly.
Thread the cotton- cut it so it just touches the base; flip the cotton up- put on chimney base; position the cotton with screwdriver- dampen cotton- put on chimney top- reassemble.
After you fill cover the airhole blow into the drop tip once or twice that'll equalize the pressure In the tank and get it going.

Anyone know where I can get a Russian Big Clone or if they even make a quality one?
I was using way too much cotton and not pulling it as it was originally threaded. I just rebuilt it again for practice 25 minutes. I could see myself saving a lot on buying Kanger coils, but I've got to find a place where I can find a bunch of those little sample bottles for filling.
I have a kaypro I want to try too, with the provari and a leather strap on case I can see that being my work day vaporizer.
