Rayon Wick - Better Flow, Flavor, Longevity, and Nic Hit!! - Pt.2

[hisionics]

@bask i ve just received the Comair Viskose you told me. It's freakin a lot

I found the external plastic with some holes, a couple big on the top side and 2 couples of small ones on the side.
I think they do it to avoid Cellulose to absorb plastic flavour (i'm seeing the same approach on many products based on plastic envelops), but this poses some risk (both health and flavour) about the place where was stored. I highly doubt it was stored in a "protected" room.

Your pack was the same or it was 100% closed (no holes)?

The only issue I've ever had with rayon is with menthol, it can mute the "flavor" if not wicked absolutely perfect.

With other actual flavors like tobacco's and such its better in every way compared to cotton, it lasts longer, produces more flavor, a stronger nic hit.

If you're getting two days with cotton my guess is you will get around a week with rayon once you get it dialed in.

Has anyone got any tips for wicking the Tripod for DTL vaping with Rayon?

I'm not having much luck with it at the moment, it seems the Rayon gods have forsaken me.

No pictures but I wicked mine with Rayon about 4 times, and to me it was a serious PITA. (Steamer also has a DL, not sure of Rayon). After wicking the coil, there's a removable shield you put around the coil and that shield has the wick holes. So you need to lift the wick up like bunny ears to put through that shield on either side, and pull through. Then you gotta do the whole back and forth to get the twist out before cutting and thinning. Nothing special, thin a lot, great flavour, just not worth the effort to me. Cotton turned out much quicker for me

I own a few darvws, but not the dtl version. With my mtl darvws, I do not do the bunny ear thing, dont have to. If you just wick normally, then cut tails, thin tails and place on deck its easier, much easier. Later will post some pics, but I place them on deck , thinned and at the correct length, then push them inwards some, so the ring snaps down without touching them, once the ring is in place, I just nudge them over against the holes.

@Wayneo , @TrollDragon , not sure if this helps, but here's how I wick my darvws with rayon. Although I dont use cotton anymore, I fail to see how it would be any easier in terms of wicking. The only difference is that I use slightly more rayon thru the coil and trim my tails more.

vapdivrr Your prior description was good, pics are always better, thanks. Mine's cleaned and packed away somewhere.

Much appreciated @vapdivrr I passed the link to your post along to the FB Group member.

I now get what you were saying with rayon being harder. I guess if you have to trim and thin tails after the jc ring is on, it would be. Hopefully if you ever get it back out, this will work and get you using it again

It is 100% closed.

This wouldn’t make any sense, as it is made for- and used by barbers.

Dunno @bask is the only thing i can think of. The holes are (except one on top) perfectly circular and symmetric. I think they were made on purpose (even if i dont know wich is).

You got the Comair Rayon from Amazon too, right?

I think i'm gonna return it back. The smell wasnt that clear/pure as the HolyFiber's one. Maybe is only suggestion.

Luckily while surfing Amazon i ve found the DM Ebelin and i took the only one left (pretty cheap too). @Rossum I found (and bought) 2 products : DM Balls and DB "watte", wich i dunno the exact format coz there arent real pics. In the front-pic of the product seems a towel ). Do you know this format (and/or you tried it for vaping)?
here the link (ebelin Watte, 200 g dauerhaft günstig online kaufen | dm.de).

Need to get myself a full box to have a cheap lifetime supply of wicks.

been using 100% rayon cellucotton by graham for 4 years, bought the samall box of 40 ft, still have plenty left, i break mine in by pulse firing with juice on it, i keep dripping juice on it for a minute or so then i screw on the glass tank.

I suspect the shipping to Portugal would be exorbitant, though.

Yup, do the same before closing up my KFs and Skylines.Prime and break-in in one step.

I just wick it and vape... There's barely any strange flavor from Rayon.

I can source it in Spain so not so bad.

Very important to use clean fingers... I find a little oil from your skin will have a strange taste but goes away quickly with a few hits.

I've been using the dm Viskose balls lately, they are a little more work than the Sally's but I find it worth it.

Also I have been too lazy to go refill my Rayon working bag from the 3lb box in storage.

I have to try them. Where do you get them?

tried both ways, priming it first and pulse firing before putting tank on does greatly improve flavour and an overall better vaping experience/consistency.
imho, ymmv
