Sorry, but that's wrong. "Viscose" in the context of fibers is German for Rayon.Google translate says that's cotton.

Rayon isn't made from cotton. Cotton is too valuable a form of cellulose in its natural state to break down and turn into rayon. Rayon is generally made from wood pulp.Rayon can be made with trees as well as cotton. It's cellulose. Cotton and woody plants are also cellulose.
Rayon has indeed been made from cotton. Not economically nor ecologically the most useful way. Could be any woody plant, though.Rayon isn't made from cotton. Cotton is too valuable a form of cellulose in its natural state to break down and turn into rayon. Rayon is generally made from wood pulp.
Oh, I'm sure it's possible. Rayon can be made from pretty much any form of cellulose. But it's not economically feasible to make rayon from cotton. Bulk cotton costs more per pound than bulk rayon does, so using cotton as a feedstock for rayon would be sure-fire way to lose money.Rayon has indeed been made from cotton.

If you are in Germany dm Viskose balls are top quality Rayon. They are a little more work than the Graham Cellucotton as you have to unroll them.Hello
This is a fantastic topic. I found 100% viscose which should be rayon from my understanding. The brand is Duchesse. 200gram for about 2 usd. It's used for medical purpose.
Maybe someone can confirm if I got the right material. When I burn it, it smells like burnt cigarette paper. It burns very fast and leaves only very little ash.
One member said that some rta isn't suitable for rayon. I wonder which kind of rta/rba is rather difficult to use with rayon. Mine is actually a classic velocity deck.
I would like to try out Rayon, but it's expensive shipping in Ebay, is there any other places I can buy Rayon from? I'm from Australia
On the tails, yes. But in the coil itself, I disagree. The coil needs to be stuffed full.With rayon, less is more.
But in the coil itself, I disagree.
The Ravens Moon RTA wouldn't work properly with Rayon for me. It has a velocity style deck which you can't wick until you put the chamber on. There is not really anyway to thin the tails as you have to put the wick through a hole on one side, continue through the coil and out the hone on other side. Trim both sides flush with the edge of the chamber and juice. Easy with cotton, not so much with Rayon.Unfortunately the few rta's which I own that simply will not play nice with rayon have nothing in common. That means that the outcome is not predictable. The good news is that of the many I tried most work very well with rayon. I am now very experienced at wicking with rayon so although the comments from Anna are all true, that does not change the fact that a few simply won't work. I freely admit that I did not try every possible coil size and composition when I found problems I simply switched to KGD cotton and of course it worked as it should. I did observe that all rta's that used a raised deck (the sort your would find in the Doggy Style or the Siren V2) will work every time.
Since some will insist on examples here are just a few. The Tilemahos Armed Eagle, The Vapor Giant and the Hurricane rta I found impossible to use rayon. It would always result in leaking or dry hits eventually. Even now I have 7 rta's that are using rayon perfectly and several are being used in tc with no problems.
