I have some JeremyR sent long ago and they are flat and really small, much less mass than a regular cotton ball but maybe cotton balls in my memory are jumbo though.
I have a question about rayon. I just bought my first kayfun ever. I got a good deal on a 3.1 kayfun. I decided ive had enough of sub ohm and loose draws and want a tight mtl experience. I also bought a box of rayon off amazon after reading so much about rayon. I can't seem to find any detailed videos though of how to wick properly with rayon, especially in a kayfun. I've read things about the importance of cutting the tails right and using more than you would with cotton through the coil but id really like to see that visually. Can someone point me to any good videos that shows how to wick the rayon correctly? I've used both cotton and silica which i can continue to use but this rayon sounds like it could be really great and i'd like to get my wicking right when i try it. My kayfun arrives tomorrow so i'm excited to see how it all works out.
Likely someone will come up with a vid... but KFs are easy 
I use mostly the KF2L, the build is the same as the 3.1. Yes, tight in the coil with rayon. Listen / feel for the "squeak." Do a quick scan of the start of this thread for general tips.
After installing, fluff out both "ears", cut so it will just touch the bottom of the deck, then snip at a 45 degree angle. Put the chamber cylinder back on, use a toothpick (or similar tool) to tuck it down. The "mullet" cut isn't strictly necessary on the KF, but it can help to prevent over-wicking and gurgles. KFs are remarkably forgiving on wick
At that point, I like to douse it all well and do a few test fires before complete re-assembly. Along with making sure it's all working well, I find it also eliminates any "new wick" flavor.

Yep. One of the things I really like about them, easy and forgiving build.
I'm a hard core tootler, so target my build for about 1.5 ohms. A 2 mm ID coil works well, for me, set about 2 - 3 mm over the air intake.

oh and i forgot to ask, what wattage do you run with that 1.5ohm coil? I was thinking maybe a bit higher on the ohms. I plan on tightening the airflow to focus more on a tight draw and flavor. Not so worried about vapor so was thinking less then 10 watts.
Uh, both?
Mostly spaced because I usually space out... I like the fast action (which can be important at low power, I'm usually a 8.5 watts) of finer wire, so use 30. I'm not fond of the coil taking a bit to actually work, and then taking that same time to cool down, the "waste" heat carmelizing the juice all the while.
Compressed will last longer with rayon, since there's less chance of distorting it when wicking. Heavier gauge, I'd "recommend" spaced, more wire to wick contact area. And it's rigid enough to minimize the chance of being messed up. Lots of folk use 28 for that reason. But even with 30 the coil (if careful) will last many rewicks.
But, as with many things in vape, best to take any recommendations as merely a starting point for your experimentation, to find what works best for you.

i have both 28 and 30 so ill experiment and see what i like better, also might try ribbon wire since i still have a bunch of that i bought for my immortalizer rda
That's the spirit! 
Speaking of Kayfuns, I recently put the KF4 back into rotation to give the BSKR V1.5 MTL a little rest. The KF4 vapes better and is much easier to fill.

Love that mod, is it an original? (I always wanted one of those)

So I just heard about Tidi rayon. Where is everyone getting theirs? I’m only seeing it available in very large quantities on Amazon (it’s also pretty expensive). Just wondering if anyone has a good source?
I just tried kotex-U.
It's very consistent.
Is there anything I should be worried about ?

I've heard of people using them. Don't remember anything else about them tho.
Are you male or female cuz it depends....
I kid there's no documented reason not to, and someone sent me one to try but really.... It just felt kinda slippery to me compared to the Sally's stuff and you can get a lifetime's worth for 10 bucks so I just went that way.
