Ya have to give it a haircut lol, the gaps at the top, seems to be a lot of work to get it right, again I'm sure if you have that kind of patience it's great, I may even try it, but just reading through this post that there are many variables that need to be just right for it to work

You don't have to give it a haircut, if you wick it just like cotton with a bit more density it will outperform any wicking material.

The tail thinning improves longevity and increases wicking speed a bit, it's not necessary.

@Rayonati Sloth .. New video nice .. please cover the differences of heat flux of SS and Kanthal .. looking forward to learning

so I figured out my leaking issues with my sub tanks and it was never the rayon at all it just coincided with when I started to use the rayon. the o-rings on the bottom of my rba deck(s) have become flat. and therefore allow juice to seep down through especially when im moving around. kind of frustrating because kanger wont even respond as to where I can get new ones. I have looked all over and got nothing. they are tiny little thin chincy o-rings and after screwing and unscrewing they flattened out. I hear that it's because I screw them down to tight but if I dont turn them down all the way when I take it apart to fill the rba stays in the tank stuck to the chimney. I kn ow this much I will never buy another kanger product. I'll go back to smoking first. im really frustrated because kanger wont respond about where to get the orings their only response was that it's user error for tightening to much guess I'll simply use pre-built coils until my Cthulhu comes in today. sorry for the rant just wanted to clear this up. apparently this doesn't happen with the standard rba's as they have better orings even though they look the same the ones on the rba plus are cheaper and less rubbery therefore dont expand when you take them out. maybe I fiddle with them to much but thats kind of the point of rba's isn't it?

Good to hear, I thought so.. It's typical.

I have a Q, because rayon is so tight in the coil, is there a particular method you use to avoid wrecking the coil when taking the wick out?

I usually don't have a problem but sometimes it's happened but usually not 'cause it reduces by the time I yank it.

Cut it off before pulling it out

I cut one side, as close to the coil as I can, then twist and pull the other.

Being a lazy reprobate, I find that the bunny ears lopped about 1/8" over the chimney and tucked gently down to the deck works fine in all my Kayfuns. As easy as cotton, but lasts longer.

Unfortunately, I'm not too knowledgeable on that...I recorded already and it's far less technical than many would like. Really, just my opinion on the difference in the vape between them.

I went a bit overboard on the rayon aspect in the vid had too much fun with it...

Vid'll be up in a day or 2...editting will take a bit, and internet's slow in my neck of the woods

Are you going to upload it here? I don't want to miss it!

Yeah, most def. Forewarning to all it is almost a freakin' hour long

LOL

But I'll provide time notations for what part of the vid is what. The last 20 minutes is a bunch of vlog style sappy garbage about how much I love you all

Cut it off before pulling it out [/QUOT
must be painfull

I guess for a rayon newbie it does seem complicated. For example I started on the Crius & Griffin they were hard for me to wrap my head around it. I did get it to work with everyone's help.

Maybe I over thought it?

I wicked a Smok TFV4 micro RBA with the single Clapton & at first just put the RBA cap on & cut it flush. Worked good for a while then I started getting dry hits. I opened it up & it the wick ends was apparently too thick, so I cut it down 45 degrees & now it's great.

I used the Naturemade Vit D rayon to wick the Serpent & for a least 4-5 refills it was fine then it starting leaking/seeping juice. The Serpent is notoriously prone to leaking when filling if not wicked properly. Cos I was busy, I just did a quick rewick with cotton.

I think for a newb its trying to understanding how to wick different style RTA's, RBA head, etc.

I have the spare tank o rings but it's the little tiny o ring on the bottom of the rba deck that creates a seal between the rba and tank. looks like it would be easier to just order a new rba for $5 but I'll probably just retire them when my velocity deck atty's come in today

Do you have an old or new stock coil that you could take the oring off of?

That's a good idea. I have a half-dozen or so old OCC coils laying in a drawer. I went and checked the little o-ring on those against the one on my RBA deck and they look the same to me. I think that should work, but it sounds like Phil has washed his hands of the Subtanks...for now anyway. Still, it might come in handy to remember in the future.

Okie dokie. If it seems too much work for you, use your cotton. I'll keep using rayon. Your seeming negative comments do not persuade me to do otherwise. I will not attempt to dissuade you from using any wick material you choose using. Have a good one.

You could try an auto parts supply... They usually have hundreds of o rings... Just my

So, I have actually made it to 100mls on my Gemini, it's pretty amazing, I don't think I am going much further with it yet on this wick, but I am just stoked I made it

Remember the good ol' days when you thought rebuilding would just be too much trouble and replacing 2 or 3 factory coils a week in whatever setup you thought was the shizzle at the time wasn't all that unusual? Ahhh, good times...NOT!

Oh, okay. No real matter either way though.

Think I may have been unwittingly doped this morning. I am feeling all kinds of peaceful, happy happy joy joy. I may also be passing gall stones, though. I have weird circuits inside, ergo I am left wondering at times. Still no matter as I likely misread the tone of your text. I was not attempting to be passive aggressive, defensive in my response but rather neutral.

Excuse me, going to go do stuff. Need to write out a scene to get started on a novel. My Boss Lady helped me clarify how it was setup. I could not quite get how to write a Law & Order type of scene. Used to doing Dashiell Hammett & Raymond Chandler kind of writing with a twist of Anne Rice or Lewis Carrol, a lot of the movie and tell lie vision kind of writing goes over my noggin. She let me see how it is all the same spotted horse though.

Ingredients

Hero
Bad Guy
Hero Helper
Hero Mentor

Preparation

Bad Guy into the mix first to create adversities
Hero comes next into mixing bowl, stir until Hero starts trying to get out
Add Hero Mentor to liven things up for the Hero, "Hey, are you really a Hero? Can you follow my path?"
Toss in Hero Helper to garnish

Cooking

Bake at many woes until Hero finally prevails after solving all problems and lives happily ever after.


(Side bar: They ate all the minstrels and all were happy. Yay! Except the minstrels. Boo! )

Hi Paul,

FWIW please don't take any of our comments as being rude or offensive. I can only speak for myself actually but feel comfortable saying that as a blanket statement 'cause I know these peeps and they're fantastic people. I understand why you think it looks like a lot of work and in some cases, atty dependent, it certainly may be more work than cotton until you factor in the fact that we typically need to rewick far less often with rayon.

Please make yourself at home, and if at any point you would like to try Rayon for yourself (you did mention you may want to someday), I would be happy to send you some for free. Keep that in mind, I am a PM away

Oh yeah thanks for that, I'm having nightmares already.

J/k bring pudding.
