I've also discovered this works with those little snips of dry rayon left over from the wicks. I just use those any more to mop up any messes and to go over the coil/wick when refilling to clean up a bit.

Yes the wiping was a great idea of yours.
Sorry I was a little hard to understand there and yes the BG is running in TC mode on the D2. I have noticed on other devices when the tank is dry, you will still get quite a bit of vapor out of the remaining juice in the wick until the No Liquid warning shows up. The last two hits just before that screen flashes are very poor in flavor and vapor. It never occurred to me that this is what was happening.
I hate a leaky tank and have had the BG loose quite a bit out of the air holes from improper wicking on numerous occasions with Kanthal builds. You open the juice control a few turns and wait after a fill, one coil wicks fine and the other one does not. So you take a hit at 35W and it has an underlying wick char taste from the improperly wicked coil not getting enough juice. Then you open the juice control up another turn to get more juice to the dry coil and end up flooding the base from the good side. What should have happened was the bad wick needed to be replaced, but there are times you just can't do that. I get a little juice paranoid when the BG doesn't work right...
The BG is exactly like the Rose V2 for deck removal with a full tank. Invert it and unscrew the chimney and tank as one piece, the chimney has a stop one way but will push out the other, you need to be careful of where you set it down.
So to make a long story short, the BG was actually running too dry to keep the coils wet and there was just enough juice in the wicks to keep the D2 throttling and not putting up No Liquid screen.
The D2 did it's job as it was supposed when the BG was going dry, I just didn't realize it...
If you have a sally's beauty supply near you,they sell it in the 500ft. box and the jumbo 3 pound box haha.I opted for the jumbo box which was like $14.99 or so.They have a website also that you can order from if they don't have a store near you.
Well Im up to 130 to 140ml run through my Billow and Im starting to get a sort of funky gross taste. Maybe once every 20 to 30min or so I get a few bad hits. Not a dry hit though. I think the coils are just to gunked up. The time has come. Either tonight after work or in the morning Im going to dry burn, clean my coils and re-wick. I think I had a pretty good run. The wicks still look perfectly white. The coils arent looking to hot though! Its a shame I was really hoping to hit 200! Im curious to see how the wicks look in the middle that were in contact with the coil when I pull them out.
On Average How many ml are you guys putting through your tanks. Are you finding your wicks are outlasting the need to clean your coils? Im running really high VG so thats probably contributing to how fast my coils are getting gunked up.

There are a couple that I know of (I think the Sonys and an LG), but the mAh is low. I guess that's the tradeoff?
Would that be Helga, the Big German?Last O.T...
I'm still giggling about the "big boned lady"

Mooch has them all listed in a PDF from his blog, Rated Amp and actual Safe Amp guidelines.There are a couple that I know of (I think the Sonys and an LG), but the mAh is low. I guess that's the tradeoff?

Well, y'all... I'm out for the weekend. Hurricane Patricia is supposed to be on her way to kick our butts and flood the streets here in Houston... so hopefully everything will be alright and I'll see y'all either Monday or Tuesday. I'm not too worried, though... I live north of Houston and my area doesn't usually flood all that much. Definitely makes me glad I don't have to go outside to smoke anymore though!! 
Have a great weekend everyone!

Take care, Kaezziel. It looks like another "historic" storm for the talking heads to wring their hands at. Not saying that it won't be a major storm, but come on, you'd think it never, ever, ever, happened before. Somehow, I think there has been far worse, just not since records have been kept.
Will do, man. We'll stay hunkered down with plenty of food/water/vape supplies... you know, the necessities in life!
Yeah, funny how they act like if it happened before records, then it never really happened, huh?

Thanks for the heads up, I hadn't heard yet, will have to call some family.. I miss the hurricanes, they were always fun when I was a kid. Lol
Now, I just have historic cold and blizzards, oh and tornados not far away.
Hope its not destructive. We've really been getting hit with weather in the US.
"Are you finding your wicks are outlasting the need to clean your coils? "
Yes always.
If you developed a burnt taste most times you can easily wipe the burnt juice layer off, it can be generated by various avoidable reasons. This will allow you to return to good vaping without rewicking.
"Im running really high VG so thats probably contributing to how fast my coils are getting gunked up. "
The first Rayon Wick was using vg. The benefits with vg were better than other Wick materials. I only use 100%vg.
The length of time you can vape it depend on many factors. One how many times you accidentally run it dry and overheat it.
Being you developed a burnt taste you had overheated it enough to burn juice on the coi at some point. Possibly poor juice feed from tank intermittently vapor locking or something.. You should be able to flood the Wick and wipe the coil. Refer to my tips & trouble shooting section of the op.
Also touching coils accelerate gunking at a coil level and be the first spot to burn juice.
Always remember to inspect the wick before you pull it so you can learn from it .!!.

Fun Friday night flashback -
This wick is idiot-proof. Just so damn forgiving. It really opens up all kinds of builds that just weren't possible with other wicking materials. Looking forward to seeing some people think outside the "box", lol.

Just a comment on the BG posts, I have a Kayfun V4 and all I hear on the forums is how tough to wick, leaks, etc... I used rayon from the start and I have never had issues. I was using it for 2 months before I realized that the juice control should be closed when filling! I still don't close it unless I am leaving it full for more than a day or two.
This stuff just soaks it up and doesn't let any juice out!
Thanks again for the help along the way.

Yep, it wicks like a boss, always in control.
Big thanks Jeremy and all as I now too am a rayan user. Cleaning the coils has changed things for me too.
Big thanks to all. I have learned so much through this topic!

I went ahead and dry burned the coils clean and ran them under tap water while they were still hot to get the gunk off and rewicked. The rayon was fine when I pulled it out . Nothing was burnt. Just a few spots of discoloration from the gunk on the coils.
My coils are tight and touching so in about 2 weeks when I need to do this again I'll rebuild my coils so there more spaced out.
As of right now I'm back up and running again!
I have two KFV4 and have never had any leaks with them. I have had dry hits from improper wicking with KGD when I got the first one, that and MaxVG juice. The juice problem is easily fixed with a quick opening of the top nut #38, a few bubbles rise, close and vape.

If it was truly like me it would leave rainbows and vape stuff instead of damage Be safe and take care
