well ive wicked all my rba's with "cellucotton" , i think ill call it sallys rayon...
anyway...in the taifun, i cant get a dry hit at all. ive drilled the air to 7/64 per cloud 50's mod and have a 26ga 3/32 bit .7 ohm build on it.
with cotton id get dry hits if i didnt take care on how i hit it. with tencel, id get one dry hit about once maybe twice per tank.
with sallys rayon, i cant get one to happen. ive tried.
in the kayfuns, what can i say, they are easy. tencel was great, no problems, great flavor. with sally's rayon, same thing. great flavor, great vapor.
in the fogger v4.3...with tencel..i just had it stuffed on the opening of juice port and it was great, but id get a little juice through air intakes. and that was with a .8ohm build oh and with the airband all the way out...awesome vape!
now with sally's rayon, same build, same wicking method, i didnt get any juice coming out of the air intake.
so...i dropped down to a .4 ohm build....to push it ... no dry hits....no juice out of airholes.....airband all the way out, the vape is close to if not right there with a dripper!

I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO COTTON!!!!!!!!
another thing i like about sally's rayon is how easy it is to work with. easier but similar to cotton. sometimes when you cut cotton it will pull with the scissors. not rayon...cuts through it like butter... easier to get accurate cuts.
anyway, i cant say enough good things to say about this stuff.
im going to send some to cloud 50 on youtube and let him check it out...he is a BOSS at wicking!

Now you get me so excite about this rayon I just want to go to Sally beauty supplies now :)

Thanks for the report and test!

It wicks like a boss .. So you don't have to be a boss at wicking.. It just friggin works!!

It's gonna take the vape world by storm.. Wish I had a patent on it.. Lol buy up stocks in rayon companies or something I guess! :)

Hey Brian did the girls look at you funny at Sally's.. Lol

News Update. Sally's beauty chain stores runs out of rayon.. Jk

just wicked two of my drippers ....
oh man!!! the dual coil was great...in every way. ill say again that ill never go back to cotton.
but what happened on the quad coil...OH MY GOD!!
its a .15ohm and the first hit i took on it, i freaking choked like a drunk pickup goin down!
took couple of hits to get used to the increase that rayon gives it.
i dont know what im going to do with my half pound of tencel. no need for it anymore. this cotton type rayon is all and more than what ive been looking for.

Ya, couldn't imagine it being very pleasant... Not to mention their not the best smelling animal to begin with. They spit some nasty green stuff at each other when irritated. Got caught in the middle of a battle once, took about 3 hours and two showers to get rid of the smell. Now it's all I smell when I'm around them... Traumatized I guess.

You sir have the alpaca PTSD.

You .......s made me go to Sally's. Got the strangest looks in my life when I started browsing the store. Got horrified looks when I told them what I was doing. I now have a huge box of fluff.

On the other hand, I did stop at a vape shop on the way home and picked up a Stillare and an Efest 35 amp battery. Just need a hammer mod and I'm good to go (though I really want a 26650 (sledge)hammer).

Dang caged that stillair looks pretty tight.. It's a toss up with the magma... But I gotta go magma because its ready for dual Vcore coils.. (Vertical hollow core external wick) rayon is excellent on external wraps.. That's where I began using rayon, on the very first oddy verticals..

Now I know why back then some people said it wasn't much of a difference... Because they weren't using rayon, which is just unmatched.

On a whole nother level.. Lol

Wanted the 24k gold plated terminals so I went with the Stillare. I've been thinking about the Magma. Really tempted by the 3D too. This place I went to also has the Double Cross, which has insane air holes (they claim this would make a great competition atty). I also want a Taifun GT with air flow control.

call me stupid...get it out of the way...
just got a panzer today from slowtech, doesnt have a locking ring. i tested the crap out of it and it never fired sitting up.
i guess the firing button unscrewed a little. went upstairs for awhile, came back and was going to hit the taifun...
man that thing was HOT!!! sob burned 3/4 tank of juice...all it had left was what would stick to the tank. i was ...... to say the least.
i got the battery out and was taking it apart. thinking , man that wick will be screwed and that i was hoping the insulators werent melted.
hell it drained a fairly just charged battery to 2.5 volts...
i looked at the wick and coil and almost left it in it looked shockingly good.
the wick was clean except for just a slight discoloration at the wick. but i think that was just burnt juice.
took it apart and checked the atty out and rebuilt it....all good

moral of the story...i would have expected it to be toast...maybe even catch fire
man this shiite be good

Do you like the Kayfun or Taifun better? I kind of like the straight shot wicks and want something that tastes similar to an Ithaka but without the nr-r-nr wires.
