Interesting that he says it’s better to over use than under use it

...it's discouraging, but the only thing for it is to keep trying, yeah? And I did just get some new wire in so I guess I'll need to make some new coils anyhoo...
but there is some sort of "tactile feel" I get with the right amount of wick, and at first I was slightly overwicking, and going through my rayon wicks more quickly. That kind of helped.
Yeah I think that's part of it. I have the big box from Sally's, and some sections are smoother, while some sections are more kinked up. Sometimes I can just tear it to width, twist it up and put it in the coil with great results, and sometimes I have to fiddle and straighten and thin...I think a lot of it has to do with the actual strand of rayon itself.
Thats why I try to twist the rayon as tight as as I can then try to maintain that tight twist while feeding through the coil then back off the twists so the fibers in the coil all go straight. There is no way around having thick tails to thin if you have enough rayon in the coil. The older the coil and the thinner the wire the more chance of distortion trying to wick. Wicking 30 gauge single wire is frustrating as new build let alone a old coil but a 30/34 clapton easy to wick even after a few rewickings, holds its shape and produces a much fuller cloudz than the single wire.Well, yes, I was overwicking, and then I just got to that "sliding but not quite with a bit of resistance feel" and that's when it was right. It's indescribably honestly....

This is how I've been doing it too...it ensures that there is enough rayon in the coil. Untwisting can be a little fiddly in the beginning, but I don't usually have to go back and mess with it after I've vaped a tank or two.Thats why I try to twist the rayon as tight as as I can then try to maintain that tight twist while feeding through the coil then back off the twists so the fibers in the coil all go straight. ....
...Any monkey can ...
Your in luck today, I was just getting ready to rewick , here she is with a fresh wick.Would appreciate pictures of someone's siren v2 wick'd with rayon.
Do you stuff the entire wick in the liquid channels without thinning?
Thanks.
