Just want to check my memory from discussion of rayon as wicking material on the stockpiling thread. Is what I need to buy called cellucotton 100% rayon that can be found at the beauty supply store? Should I look at Sally's or will most beauty supply stores be likely to carry it?

The sallys by me only had the huge 3lb box and since I had never tried it I went for a 40ft box from amazon - Amazon.com : Graham Professional Cellucotton Beauty Coil (Rayon fiber) : Beauty

I like it and will be buying a big box from sallys when this runs low. I think the big box at sallys was 17 or 18 dollars by me.

My 5mm notch coils came in yesterday. These dudes do indeed take an entire (undivided) strand of Sally's which makes that part easier, but some serious tail thinning is in order. It took me several tries to get the tails thin enough, but once I did it's keeping up great on the Limitless Plus with dual coils (.13 ohms) at 80 watts. I'll probably knock that down to 60-70 watts for typical daily use though. Even though they're supposed to be SS, they won't work in TC mode for me. The Cuboid keeps kicking into Power Mode. That's okay. Power mode is fine.

I have these Demon Killer Notch Coils on the way. Three different sizes (3mm, 3.5mm, and 4.5mm). I'm planning on trying to stick them in a couple different RDAs (not sure which yet). Any chance you can grab some pics of how you thinned your tails? If not, no big deal... I'll figure it out. I'm thinking that they'll be pretty awesome in the Stumpy on the squonker, though. :D

I'll be happy to post pics as soon as I get the Galaxy Note 7 I hornswoggled my way into getting, but it doesn't ship until the 18th or 19th. I thing my only issue was trimming enough so it didn't choke off the juice through the notches between the deck and the tank on the Limitless Plus:

That picture is from iJoy, but you can imagine fitting a full width strand of Sally's through there. I just kept trimming and trimming until it started keeping up. Mine doesn't hang quite that far down into the tank, but I don't think that would make too much difference except I tip the tank over from time to time to make sure the wicks are good and juiced. No leaking whatsoever.

As soon as my new phone gets here, I'll take some pics. My crappy LG just doesn't cut it.

Pics, pics, or did your Galaxy Note 7 not arrive yet lol! Oops! Didn't read the next post. Sorry, anxiously awaiting your phone delivery.

I know what you mean. One of these days, I'll get a decent phone, myself. I did just get the wife a new Galaxy S7 (to help her get over the fact that I just ordered new vape toys). I doubt she'll let me get my hands on her phone any time soon, though. :lol:

I'm curious to see how well these notch coils work in an RDA. I imagine they should be pretty good, and simple enough to install in some of my RDAs... prolly not gonna be able to squeeze them into a Hobo, but should work well in the Stumpy, and maybe a few others...

Kaezziel got game!

Yeah, I would borrow my wife's S7, but she doesn't ever put it down long enough. She keeps it in overdrive with her favorite pastime; gossiping with her buddies...about their other buddies. I don't get it. Oh well. C'est la vie.

More game than you know, Brother... I bought her the phone before I bought new vape toys! ;) Got her in a happy mood ahead of time. All part of my master plan... :evil:

Hahahaha! Yeah, they've probably found each other in there somewhere and they're gossiping about us and our "silly toys"! :lol:

I've got to say this Limitless Plus with the notch coils - since I got it wicked right - is incredible. I guess, 'juicy' would be a good word. It's even better than it was with my 10 wrap SS coils and that wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination.

I do think my 8 wrap SS coils I have in the original Limitless are slightly better, but it could just be a difference in the way I wicked them, I suppose. Either way the Limitless is a winner. I'm a big fan.

I still keep my trusty Bachelor nearby. I only fill it up every couple days for the last month or so, but, on the 15th, It'll be 5 months since I wicked it and it's still good... and I'm making a direct comparison to this Limitless with fresh wicks in it. So, when I say it's still good, I mean it's still goooood. I'll take pics if it ever starts to go south and I take it apart to look at it.
