Rayon wick, better flow, flavor, saturation and Nic Hit!

[BeerGolfClouds]

I haven't had time to read through this whole thread, but saw enough to convince me to give rayon a try. I like it! The strange thing is, my rda seems to be running cooler than when wicked with cotton. Anyone else experience this? FWIW I'm running dual 24 ga macros on a CLT at .21 ohms. Will attach pic.

It's cooler BC it's getting more juice on the coil.

If I were you, looking at the pic and numbering the posts 1-4 left to right, I'd go for 1to 3 on one side and 2to4 on the other side to center up you coils and even out your wicks

Quick update:

Been using rayon exclusively for a while now, and I don't know what I'm doing differently, but I'm not getting any of the bitter flavor I got at the beginning. I went from using the boiled to the rinsed, and still a straight, clean flavor. Once I'm through with my rinsed CC, I'll try using it straight outta the box and see if I notice anything. But otherwise, great performance all the way around.

CC for the win!

Sally CC showed up today... the 40 ft box is roughly 4 3/8" square and 5 14" tall - about the size of a box of kleenex.

Coil was gunked up again, so threw some in the R91...

Just put rayon in my Cyclone on a Redsky Cruiser.

BLOWN. AWAY.

That's the sissy box... Haha jk

Tbev what do you think of the kaiser atomizer by Yiloong?

I usually do that with longer coils, but wanted to keep the legs as short as possible on this build. I appreciate your response though, that's what I was assuming in regards to the coolness. Count me in on the rayon fanwagon!

It's cooler BC it's getting more juice on the coil.

In fact on all my attys I have to raise the power level to get the same amount of vapor. This is especially true on my dripper.

With cotton the wick looks wet with Rayon it looks like it is coated with Jell-O not that is thick or anything if you touch it is just liquid. The rayon just hold it without dripping as if by magic. I know, I know a little overly dramatic but none the less true.

So my coils are not just up against something wet they are partially submerged into the juice requiring more heat to overcome the cooling effect of the liquid.

I am going to quit with this explanation before someone calls the mental health people.

PS - I don't sub ohm I generally run 1.8 to 2.0 ohm coils.

Your welcome!

Welcome to the group, the wicks *may* be a little light if that's a pic shortly after wicking. Check to make sure the coil isn't higher than the wick, ie. That the wick is still in full contact later. If not you will dry burn the top of the coil. Rewick with more if the wick loses contact.

Good luck!

Thanks Jeremy, you are correct. After about an hour or so it wasn't that I was getting a horrible taste or anything but it didn't seem to be as good. So I rewicked based on your recommendation and now it's been fantastic for the last 3 hours

Funny guy!

So, it's only 5 years worth instead of 50.... lol.

This has been a very interesting thread,i am awaiting my delivery of cc,looking forward to coiling up my toy's,and giving it a go,couple of them need re coiling,so hope fully this week,got all my batteries charged.plenty juice on the go,
let the fun begin,of to look for pic's of your build's,do I go sub ohm,single's or do some double's,looking forward to kicking back on the farm's this weekend and making some cloud's, and enjoying some flavour,
has any body tried this stuff with a donut coil,
keep the post's coming,enjoying the banter and advice,
have a good one peep's,

Thanks for reporting in dj.

Just confirms most issues for new users are related to getting through the learning curve .

NOT the fault of the rayon.

 

[UKPaul]

Received my Rayon today.
Many thanks Dave.

Threw a quick wick in my Quasar and it vapes nice but not sure if I need a thicker wick.

Will experiment some more tomorrow.

Would that be #44043, 3lb. box?

 

[cindycated]

Would that be #44043, 3lb. box?

Nope, that one's waaay bigger, and around 750 feet. About 1 1/2 times as tall as the 44060 box (9 1/2" cube).

 

[mnealtx]

Would that be #44043, 3lb. box?

No, it's the 44130, 40 foot box... about .7 cubic feet.

Almost exactly the same size as the square box of kleenex.

OK Cindy,

I got the message [9 1/2" cube].

You know how guys are they tend to over estimate the size of every thing.

Ok, I just went to Sally's web site and didn't see it listed.
