Great threads JeremyR, many thanks. I'm waiting for my small lyocell cellulose delivery to slow boat to me. $50 USD shipping for the 44060 is just .. well, normal for US -> AU .. but too much. Still less than the recent $160 USD shipping estimate for 1 gallon vg + 1 litre nic. Speaking of too much, I've searched high and low for a bulk rayon supply in AU, or reasonable shipping, but no luck.

I did find this though ... .. ..

Welcome nk!

That is the same thing we're using, cellucotton rayon... I would also look for kotex u in black box, the rayon quality is good... one may want to try to get tidi balls or European DM stores ebline viskose if your paying that much for it to ship. I like both better than sallys, not sure on the shipping to au.

Well you got me Jeremy...
I was going to formulate an introduction in the new members' area but I'd rather spill my guts here as it's going to be one of my few new homes on ECF.
I've been vaping for 2 months today, I quit the stinkies for health reasons more than anything. I must say im starting to feel better and certainly smell just a tiny bit better.
I'm currently taking the plunge over to the Dark Side and am getting into DIY juice and building my own stuff, just waiting on a metric pantload of vapemail from all over the globe and I'm set. I live hundreds of KMs(desolate Canada)from a B&M so it's all online for me

I'm pretty confident about both aspects, I figure if Average Joe can do it I'll have no problem, so even though I've never wicked jack with anything including cotton I've got 500' of rayon(44060) on it's way. Ironically my name is something I've imported from elsewhere and not referring to here. YET.
Thanks to everyone that contributes to this community in one way or another, some just deserve a little more thanks than others;) cheers!

Thanks for making us your first stop.

Welcome to ecf! ...

Lots of great people here to help you achieve your goals.

I've found rayon a natural to use -- I was consistently over-compressing cotton (coin toss on a burnt puff -- d'ohh), which was the right amount for rayon :) The cellucotton also "frays" nicely, able to spread it apart to cover the aromamizer inlets easily

Only $58 per foot. I can probably let go of 40' for only $20 per foot. That's only $800 (plus shipping and handling.. other restriction apply). ;)

In Aus rayon wool is apparently used by morticians:
Preparation Supplies - Hyqual Australia

"Highly absorbent white rayon wool. "

Might give them a call, ask if it's indeed a pure rayon, without chemical additives.

(Do I win the weird rayon post of the week award? :) )

A 4 kg box would last a looong time -- perfect for multiple people (Imhotep Mummy Wick :) )

As JeremyR noted, it's likely the same stuff as cellucotton, just used for beautifying at a later stage. Probably make a lot of Australian vapers happy if it is a decent source of clean rayon coil, though a box of it would need to be split up into rational lengths (still might be cheaper than Cellucotton + shipping).

Good find by the way..

Rayon is easy to find in Australia, take your pick.

If you used the aussie forum you'd find out about these things.
