I have cotton balls, cotton pads, hemp fiber, roll of cotton baton and my 44060 box all on the same shelf in the closet. My wife sent a small parcel and used a few feet of my precious RAYON and I almost went into respiratory arrest. All that cotton but uses the rayon to pack with. Box of rayon is now on the floor under other stuffs so that mistake won't happen again....
What, no 3 LB box? Still, that is a waste of good rayon. I'd ask her to use crumpled up newspapers/local-ads instead.
... Also trying to work off my ~130ft of fasttech [high-quality] silica. It ain't nearly as bad as it was in those old devices, but it still ain't no Rayon.. Albeit it doesn't ever burn through, leaving your wick to end up having those pull-off piggy tails when changing.
Split it out into gallon zip lock bags. Won't pick up odors, easier to access, easier to stash
Good idea, but that's a lot of bags to hold the 3LB box worth of the stuff. Hmmm... But come to think of it, I could just use those gigantic zip lock bags.
Although I still wouldn't store it near scented things, at least it could prevent dust from building up too much in the fibers over time - which is supposedly made up of mostly dead skin cells. Yum! Human [and dog] skin-flavored eliquids!
One thing I would question about that, though.. Is that most new zip lock bags have a pretty strong plastic odor to them. Maybe airing it out first will work, but I dunno. Right now, I have it in it's original bag, mostly closed up except for just enough for the 'snake' to pull out.. Then the box lid keeps it in place. I've had it long enough that any plastic scent might probably be all gone by now - though I don't have anything to compare the difference with.
