bummer,, i have been careful to group my items based on stock status..i dont want any 1 item slowing down a whole order. my rule of thumb is it had to be listed as avail within 2 days......if not then i will wait on that item and go with what was avail.
A very wise FT shopper!

You see too many people complaining on how slow FT is, come to find out that one item they want has been on 7 Day Restocking for weeks... :lol:

Fellow Rayonati I need you help. I've always been a dripper and then got a little into squonking but have never had any luck with tanks but I'd like to give them one last try. Here is what I am looking for:

Low sr and vr since I will be using it in TC

Easy Top fill

Easily accessible deck without draining the tank first.

Small capacity probably 3ml or under.

Dual coils with space for 3mm Id coils. Preferably big enough for 3mm 26/32 claptons

Decent airflow. I don't need it to be huge but not mtl or restricted lung inhales.

Preferably without a proprietary drip tip(like the alleria has) and possibly a chuff option.

Preferably juice flow control or than can handle high VG juice

Preferably top air flow but not a big deal it it's bottom as long as it isn't super prone to leaking.

Oh and I'd prefer it in black

Velocity style deck.

Preferably not super expensive and that has fairly easily resourceable spare parts.

I'm probably asking too much.

I do know I don't want one of the new Genny style ones. More of a traditional tank.

Atm Merlin by Augvape & Roxy. The mtl screw on the airflow hole can be removed. It's not that airy though, I like the airflow. Not mtl with screw removed but not very airy I like the airflow. You can do dual coil but everyone thinks it's more suited for single coil. Lots of room on deck. Check out the thread on ...................
Maybe the Griffin RTA will suit you too. I'm sure others will answer as well.

I went to sallys a few weeks ago and they didn't have the right rayon. The lady sold me salon care non-reinforced salon coil saying it was the same. lol i used it once and it had a perfumey taste to it. (could have been in my head)I have this huge box now. I think i'll give to my mother. Think it's safe to use still though? i mean, it did wick good. Doesn't say on it if it has been bleached though, and can't find any info about it. I mean, the organic cotton balls i use now from walgreens look bleached even though they say they are not, but i thought organic cotton should be off white? these things look too clean.

Taking a look at that on Sally's site, it says 100% cotton, not rayon. Depending on how it was processed, that could be the taste...

Oh wait i just realized i can boil it!
-I'll grab some fire wood, get a bonfire going in the back yard.
- i'll empty out the box of cotton, should take around 15-20 minutes, it's about, oh i don't know 50,000 feet :p
-acquire a clean oil drum from unshady italian relatives i know who have some for some reason, say they like to fill them with concrete and dump them into large bodies of water??
-Throw that cotton into the drum, onto the bonfire, boil it up...Presto! vapable cotton!

That doesn't seem like too much of hassle right?

Yeah the cotton is probably worse at absorbing smells since it's more like a sponge. The scents would just be on the outside of the rayon fiber if they were exposed. Like I've said before nothing worse than perms smell.. The bad thing with Sally's is the scents in the store... Depending how old the box is and where it was kept and how well the bag was closed, it could get an off taste from extended exposure

Really if you want to be sure it's a clean rayon that was handled with care I would order some balls from delascos. They will be handled by supplier with medical use in mind.

They have a new shipping deal for us, $4 shipping. Check out - Delascos consumer catalog, cost is about 8.00 shipped. I'm Vaping with those as we speak. They are a little smaller, just might need to double up for larger coils.

It's weird tho guys. I actually prefer unrolling regular cotton balls and scottish rolling them up as opposed to using japanese organic cotton sheets. I just feel like i get it more fluffy as opposed to the sheets, which don't really roll up as fluffy as the reg cotton balls for me. The sheets just end up looking more like flat peices of cotton sticking out as opposed to the rounded cotton balls having a nice round look to them sticking out of the coils.
