There is a list in the op of about 10 options for rayon. It's up to the user and what works for them. Many wonder if they should order or buy in when they haven't tried it.. The KU gives every person in the country a quick local option to try or buy. The melatonin bottles availability with known rayon is not as easily found.

Sally's beauty is in every medium to large town. Balls can be ordered from delascos or Tidi.

Sally's can be just as embarrassing or more than the local store. Lol

Do you think that there are more males in the Kotex isle at the grocery store than usual lately? LOL!
only a matter of time before a couple of men bump into each other and figure out they are both rayon shopping..........until then security will keep an eye on them lol,,,--security guard watching his cameras after somebody reports them as suspicious perverts

No, men have been tortured by women for this for ages, however now, they may just pick up an extra box or 12

I bought my box of Graham about a year ad a half ago at the local Sally's. I felt like a fish out of water with the stares I got. I'm 6'1" and 66 at the time. I do have to stop back there and pick up a pair of cuticle scissors for trimming wicks though. They've got a really great assortment and you can actually see them and handle them, not like online. There are advantages to B&M shopping at times.

agree,, i started cutting with reg scissors. then i bought a small/medium set for $8 in the pharmacy section of target.....best scissors for the job and was actually shopping around on amazon last night to buy 2 more,,1 for the car and 1 for the bug out bag. each have a pair of lame scissors right now.

one of the best tools i bought was a screwdriver set at home depot.. the bits fit into the handle. it has torx , phillips & slotted. so instead of keeping up with all of the allen keys & magically (crap) blue screwdrivers,,i have 1 'go to'. i dont like having too much stuff,,i only want 'what works every day'

Rayon works great with the Avocado 24 :) First try I messed up, thinned too much, full tank dump when lying coil side down. (It was fine ceramic plug side down, but I don't want to have to think about orientation when I put a PV down)

2nd try I trimmed little, stuffed the rayon through the deck with my coil mandrel, no leaks when lying down, wicks great, awesome flavor :)

The flip out fill port on this works nice, holes are good size for a unicorn bottle.

What kind of mod is that in photo, mark? The brass is grooved for better grip?

0.47 ohms. I'll swap batteries a couple times during the day, they generally read 3.6 - 3.7v on the charger, so I seem to be swapping at the right point.

Modern batteries like the lg hg2 are nice in mechs, plenty of capacity

So I was saying I put a build in the Smok rsst Genesis. This build is really nice and I'm pleasantly surprised by the vape I'm getting from it this time. And it's wicking well too. Gave it to my buddy and he's very happy with it. The wick is staying very clean for him.

I wicked the coil with it between my fingers, worked out well. Used a 2.5mm coil, the wick hole is 3mm... I cut about 75% of the wick straight off. Then tapered what was left. The idea is to have the tail fit loosely in the hole, and have the full wick sitting a mm or two above the deck. When filling it bubbles out the wick well. This allows the wick to draw effortlessly and for air to pull in to prevent vacuum lock.

Rsst, 2.5mm, triple twisted 32g, think it was 1.2 ohm or so, used Sally's Cc.






Once filled I just swirled it around to lay the wick around the tank. Working well with Vg. Don't know about crazy high power chain vapes but working good for regular vaping at 25w for my friend.
Wow! That's so cool! Thanks for the great pics! I'm going to try your technique on my Theorem.

The rsst has a small 3mm wick hole and needs quite a bit of thinning to work right.. That tank is from about 3 years ago. Lol..

As long as your thick above the juice ports on the theorm you should be OK. That thing looks wide open though you'll have to experiment a bit maybe.

It's been a long time since I checked this thread... Here's a 1.1ohm kanthal coil in a Kayfun Mini V3 wicked with none other than slavkov's DM balls. I still have almost a full bag of them and I am very grateful he sent them me and others.

LOL, sorry I do avoid using that word. Their just little Rayon bullets.

Have you seen my video review and build with KU?

I'm looking at the op right now... Man I can't believe I did all that on a first edition moto g phone... I see I didn't put that video up..

Here it is.
