Screw it! I'll just get that 3lb box. It's only $3.50 more and I can give some away.

I'm expecting delivery of 3 new rda's today and really want to give this rayon a shot as wicking tends to be the most crucial and difficult part of building for me. From the sounds of it, this should be a great help for me.

Yeah that what PIB, pay it back, is all about :D friends giving friends fiber. Sent some ramie to a bud, they sent me rayon.

Sorry about the thread jack fellas.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming. :D

It's all good, wicking is all part of the same thing :D. Kind of hi jacked it with the Erly atty too. tis how we all learn and discover.

Ok, had to come back to this thread and jack it up some more. :laugh:

Anyway, when I called Sally's today, the sales person said they didn't have the 500ft roll but they did have the 3lb box. Got there and lo' and behold, they had both. That 3lb box was freaking HUGE! So glad they had the 500ft roll. There's enough in that box to lat me 200 years. Ha!

Got some new RDAs in the mail today. Washed them up and decided to try out the CLT with the rayon. Wow! Unbelieveably easy to wick! I am now using what I used to think was the right amount with cotton but was always too much. Flavor and vapor production are just splendid.

The CLT is actually quite impressive as well. Granted, I've only been vaping it for about a half hour but thus far it is performing just as good as my authentic Plume Veil. Difference in price between the 2 attys? 75 bux! Don't get me wrong, I still love my PV but what a bargain this CLT is.

Carry on.

Is anyone else wondering why they didn't just have this function like a Kayfun? Simply have some press fit metal tubes into the air holes, raised up enough to the level of a Kayfun's center block/airhole and build the coils over that. I got to play around with one and was VERY disappointed with the amount of leaking. No wonder, you have two giant air holes on the bottom of the deck, where juice is. Would have cost less than a dollar to do the mod I just described, and it would completely stop leaking.

I'm thinking of buying a clone and adding the tubes and using it like a Kayfun, I was REALLY hopeful and willing to pony up the $150 for the real deal, until I got to use one. Ridiculous!

And before anyone says anything, I'm aware it's supposed to be build with wicks in channel. But then the channels are very small. It's like they couldn't decide which way to go with the design and stopped somewhere in the middle.

I hear you on that, deck should of been a bit different, or the wick channels 3 times as deep. This is the first piece of Authentic gear that I feel violated with. Know I can fix it, and she'll vape great, but shouldn't have to frak with it at this price level. Will like never buy their chit again. Shame on you Aethertech.!!! You gear is a pos.

Going to try wicking with just a tad down the channels and a fluffy wad blocking them. If that doesn't wick right, we's going in and doing some trench dragging/enlarging. Thing Pizzes me off so much, don't even want to mess with it. Feel like tossing it into the Pacific. :evil:

Lol..sub ohm/we did it correctly, this time, version.

Not even close to the did it right version, it's the add a tat and get some more sucka's hard earned cash version. Nothing "right" about it. Don't see any improvement what so ever, just another laser etching, that's it. Frak them and the horse the rode in on, and it's mare and stud too.!!!!

Oh...I didn't compare the two. I thought this was a version with a raised deck.

Depends where you get it, guess there are now 2 US venders. I chose to get it from the Manufacturer, wanting the 9 ml SS tank, SS drip tip and drip tip adaptor crown. $253 for everything with shipping. Someone posted, you could get just the rba for $150 state side.

Did get extremely fast shipping. Ordered last Sunday, showed up Wednesday, all the way from Austria. Now just waiting for the customs bill that some have been getting. been like $15.

Well worth the money. Love its capacity. The stock plasti tank holds over 6 ml's as in, but I prefer SS tanks, whenever possible, so went with the Jumbo size:D Like tanks built like tanks. No crackie, no breakie. TANKS!!!!!:lol:

And best of all, it works, and works quite well at that. Have it at 0.40 ohm, perched on the Stingray C.B. Damn fine Vape.
