So what # on the boxes are the ones we need to buy? There are so many different box #'s. I'm still using the Rayon another member gave me but I'm running low.

So far I see 44060 and 44130 ???
These are the ones you need to choose from.

44040 CelluCotton® Regular Coil 1200 Ft.
44043 CelluCotton® Regular Coil 3 Lbs. (900 Ft.)
44060 CelluCotton® Regular Coil 500 Ft.
44130 CelluCotton® Regular Coil 40 Ft.

Sitting down, facing forward.
Damn. I wish I knew that before. Do you rinse the rayon at all before using a different flavor?

Nah, I just load up the next flavor when the mood strikes me, assuming I want to change flavors and the tank is empty to almost empty. It can lead to some interesting flavors, some I'd love to be able to duplicate, and some I don't want to duplicate, but the bottom line is a quick change. If you rinse the wicks then you're stuck producing steam until all the water boils off and that, to me, is worse than mixed flavors.

Same here, I just vape the previous liquid until the wick is dry, then load up the new flavor. You might get a little bit of carry over depending on the previous flavor but it will dissipate quickly.

You can actually vape Rayon wicks bone dry, unlike cotton that always has a residual amount left in the tails.
Rayon transports liquid, cotton absorbs it.

I just pulled my bag of 44060 out of the 500' box I bought last Sept. and it looks like it's still over 3/4 full. I use 15ml-20ml/day and only get 30ml-60ml use per set of wicks because it's sweet and I want clean wicks/coils.
I wick my 'mizers about 3-4x/week.

Not bad. 8 months of heavy rewicking for under $4

No need to rinse, just wash to tank though.

Sexcellent. I'll remember that for next time.

Thinking about it looking at the 500' box. I cut 2 inch length of rayon and peel about 1/3 off, same for the next cut then put the 2 pieces together for a 3rd wick in 4 inches of rayon so 9 wicks per foot. I should get 4500 rewicking out of my box of rayon. There is no way for me to figure a time frame since I've never kept track of how long a build lasts or how often I sit down and rewick. For fun I'll say 5 wickings a month so 900 months or 75 years worth of rayon, maybe 74 years for the wick that gets pulled and trashed for not being right.

I've been getting very dry muted flavor with this new e-liquid (Naturally Extracted Tobacco RY4) in my EXO RTA & OBS Engine Nano. The only difference is the Engine Nano produces very weak vapor compared to the EXO. But either way it's a very dry muted flavor.

The liquid is quite thicker than what I've been using. Do you guys have different wicking methods when using thicker e-liquids?

Edit: Well it's not the rayon. Just tried organic cotton and I have the same dry tasteless weak vapor result.

I have several feet of rayon in a snap lid container, cut, wick and enjoy. Only concern is not getting dust into the big box in the closet by the time I get to the 500th foot.

I keep my working stock in an Altoid tin, same concept, possibly a smaller package, but easy to add my scissors and put in a pocket.

And the big box is kept in a kitchen size plastic bag. Dust isn't bad here, usually, but one of oour cats is long haired, and off white... :facepalm:

Damn. I wish I knew that before. Do you rinse the rayon at all before using a different flavor?

Er, no. I have different rigs for different flavors. :blush:

I meld mine with Schipperke. Delish. :rolleyes:

Is this fine to use? Also, does anyone here wick a Kayfun Mini 3 with rayon? I'm pretty sure I'm going to need some tips! :blink:

I have lots of tips for the KFM3. Don't use one!! :D

LOL! I don't, actually. I love the tank, but the wicking is a heartbreaker for me. Just NOT easy.

Such a love/hate relationship, us. :facepalm:

If you rinse the wicks then you're stuck producing steam until all the water boils off and that, to me, is worse than mixed flavors.

We got 3 labradoodles that don't shed but the cat who finds pleasure in anything shiny on my vape desk then takes off with it, vape bands and qtips. I've pulled many cat hairs out of my work so double checking for rouge cat hair has become the norm. A vape of cat hair is mighty nasty and something I don't want to do twice.
