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?)
You are a champ vaping at 80 pg, that would be way too much throat hit for me.Hello everyone, been a bit since logging in and adding to the thread. Recently started a new job and been working crazy hours. Just wanted to share my vaping Nirvana using rayon with a quick write up that may be helpful to others.
For this post we will feature a new recent favorite of mine, the Serpent Mini. Can be had as of today on eBay for $25-29 to your door. Found a seller in the state next door and had it in 2 days. Only drawback to it is like a little hotrod with a 2 gallon fuel tank. Kicks serious bootay in the flavor dept.
Running it with a 3mm 22ga SS coil .20 ohm:
I had started my Rayon journey with Kotex U. Decided to give the Sally's a try and must say it is much better to work with. For this 3mm coil, I take the piece of the rayon and remove 1/3 of it:
Then I take the bigger piece and roll it into what turns out to be...eh, use your imagination:
Trim the edges flush with the edge of tank and taper them down:
Then I juice it and put the wick all the way into the juice channel. Since it has no juice flow control, it will flood when filling if wicked inadequately. With a tank this small, I have to fill it every couple hours, which is a bummer at work when you can't fix it.
No leaking wicked like this:
I generally fire it a bit and blow on the coil while wetting once or twice with liquid to break it in before putting it back together:
Reassembled atop a VF Stout. Vapes like a champ with some DIY 20VG/80PG, set at 460F with a 40 watt ramp up:

I would initiate a refund from eBay for non-delivery. What I sent you should last awhile. Or you can consider ordering directly from Sally's Beauty online.
Thanks for the pics! Helps a lot! I have a Serpent Mini & it's great to be able to see pics of the wicking for different Attys. It seems like the wicking technique differs from atty to atty.Hello everyone, been a bit since logging in and adding to the thread. Recently started a new job and been working crazy hours.

Right on man! I am out in the valley hay hauling. I wish you a great retirement man! You and the others did good work there.
That looks nice.To replace the SS cables on the Genelocity with Rayon or not... [emoji38] [emoji38]
Not!
, i made a big 4mm 8 wrap coil of 24g 316l reading .5 and wicked it right. i did get it right, @ 30 watt and 420F on my vtc mini it's doing just what it's supposed to, with no cotton taste (which i never knew was there before). i'm sold. the only way i'd use something else than rayon (unless it's the new best thing) is if i ever ran out.
That's great! I'm happy you're loving it!as i had my bachelor wicked too tight (i really, really stuffed it) i rebuilt. since rayon wicks the best
