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

[cheech226]

my 24g 316l from temco arrived today, still NO rayon in my box.
i made a 12 wrap 3 mm coil for my theorem. this stuff is stiff! still playing with tcr settings on my vtc mini but it seems to work well. wish i could have stuffed rayon in it tho...

Try a TCR 120 or 138 on the VTC Mini.
Sorry those values are for SS430, my bad.

I picked up 4 Green 25R`s, 100`of 24g and 26g 316L today at the post office from LV.
Tomorrow the hcigar VT133 and SQuape xDream arrives!

Thanks for the review bud!

My pleasure! I just today changed out the wick that went over a Mo! This one is even better! Amazing!!! I sourced mine from a e-bay seller with a 100% rating. I only procured 6FT. I shall hagle with the seller & see how much for a large quantity. I paid 1 dollar a ft. If he won't cut me a better deal I shall go with sally's. The stuff he sold me was/is perfect. Trying to keep up with the threads I am watching. Its daunting. If I might ask how many wicks (failures lol)did it take for you to realize how great this stuff is? It took me about 4/5 to get it right. Without this thread I may have given up after a few fails. I have found that with every wick I do it becomes intuitive as you can't go by a set of fixed numbers ( no blue print).Thank's again to all that have contributed to this thread.

Love the "Mark" with the blower in the hood.

Ive been told using the wicking techniques i post here makes cotton work better too. If its got knots its cotton.

The big difference is on the dry hit. Cotton fails on dry hit, rayon doesnt.

The bachelor is good, but in comparison to the flash, for me, it just cant compare. The flash isnt for everyone either. Unless they need a bullet proof tank that can take nearly any abuse, ill run it over with the car and it would be good. Lol.. shes a little heavy but that goes with its strength.

But it also isnt good for pocketing.

Where would one pick up this fev (flash)? Does it have the hole in the 510? For my drip box.
If not, could anyone point me in the direction of some good (did I say cheap? Harhar) attys that would go on the drip box (particularly RDA but I'm open to other suggestions)? Its kinda confusing for me knowing what would work. Sorry for side tracking the thread. Again, thanks to all.

Heres a review on the new v4 which is looking good.
Flash e-vapor V4

I linked the fev thread which has the latest info near the end. Post there also...

You want one with the pin for the cap not the notch. I didn't get any of mine from fastech. My last came from focal. I recently linked the clone with wireless base in the fev thread.

I would get this one if you want a full kit and wireless base. i dont have it but its on my list.. its the only clone version thats the full kit right now.. focalecig.com - FEV V2 Style 23.2mm Diameter 18650 Rebuildable Atomizer - Silver

This tank is only a few mm longer than the bachelor tank. Its pretty heavy in full stainless mode for sure, no joke, the glass kits take off some weight and some capacity with it.

The v2 will need to be drilled to get bigger than 2mm air. The v3 is 3 mm with the air screw out. V4 may be bigger. 3mm is pretty good for me on this tank at 40-45w typically.

With high vg i just use a 2 - 2½ wrap mesh straw, wide open.

Jeremy you're the balm digitty thanks! What is a wireless base? Do I need to buy mesh?

This one here is my choice
$20.73 Flash e-Vape V3 Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 4.5ml / stainless steel + glass / 23mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I have the same one that awsum140 linked and added the glass section when they became available.
focalecig.com - FEV V3 Glass Tank- Silver by Hotcig

The one Jeremy linked is your best value though, all the options but it has an 8ml tank if that is a problem and might not take the glass add on.

So you get both!
focalecig.com - FEV V2 Style 23.2mm Diameter 18650 Rebuildable Atomizer - Silver
AND
$20.73 Flash e-Vape V3 Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 4.5ml / stainless steel + glass / 23mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Then the FeV love be strong!

Thanks for doing so much research for me! Do I really need the one Jeremy linked to? Jeremy said it is the full kit. This is really confusing. Wouldn't the V3 awsum140 linked to be sufficient?
Thanks guys! @awsum140 @Jeremy R @TrollDragon

Hopefully your rayon arrives soon!

Yes hotcig v3 is more than sufficient.. Information overload huh, sorry.

Essentially they're all about the same thing with only very minor differences. Some personal preferences. Some may want the full kit with all the options, as its been really hard to find, aside from authentic, so i posted the link.

Im using a hotcig v3 right now with stainless tank. The glass tank is much lighter and probably better for you. The regular base hasnt been a problem for me.. Never had a wireless one before but would like to get one.

It`s a great show.
For the 50th show, they took 10 of their episode cars and did a speed run vs a new Kia...

Sorry for the OT stuff.

 

[awsum140]

Nah, I love "Top Gear", they do some neat stuff. I had a Mark X, stock motor, and loved it.

I truly appreciate all the info! It was just information overload. Lol!
Do I also order mesh? Is it just a piece of mesh? Something about 400? If it's not too much trouble, could you link it? So I don't buy the wrong thing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Is this the mesh needed?
$2.67 316L Stainless Steel 400 Mesh for Rebuildable Atomizers (10-Pack) 10-pack - 50*50mm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

 

[cheech226]

Try a TCR 120 or 138 on the VTC Mini.

hahaha i found that out right quick! 0088 seems to work good.

Yes that would work I use a 350 mesh. Since they are only used as feeders instead of wicks, I am thinking that a coarse mesh like the 200 might work better.

Any thoughts folks? @JeremyR

 

[TrollDragon]

I don't remember using my VTC Mini with SS316L. I got rid of mine with extreme prejudice during the early firmware days when the TC never worked at all. A friend who has one confirms the 88 working.

I use the default SS setting on the WeeLeaf Pico and Cuboid. My VT133 that should have been here today will be here tomorrow, it will be interesting to see how it compares.

 

[markfm]

Rayon is very nice in the Aromamizer

For 316L I use 0.00097

That will work for the fev. I also use the 350 or was it 325.. and 100vg.... The 300-400 range should be fine.. 400 is easier to roll.. 250 is a little stiff to roll up for some. Please visit and post to the fev thread with these questions before it gets closed.. We will be there... I just got my mesh from mfs a long time ago- link. I also posted a video on how to roll the mesh. Link
