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

[anumber1]

Just picked up my enormous box of Graham 100% rayon from sally beauty supply and wicked my magma with it.

First puff... Seems great. Going to rewick a kayfun in a little while. Really nice stuff to work with tho.

 

[vampyrex13]

Just popped some rayon into my 2mm coils on my Magma, and right off the bat, I can notice a cleaner taste to my juice. Much better than cotton IMO.

What's up vampyrex...
Glad you like it..
I've watched one of your videos on youtube before...

 

[vampyrex13]

Yeah, I was holding off of it for a while until I had more information first. Glad I pulled the trigger on this.

Quick update.
I stuffed a freaking load of viscose in my taifungt and surprise surprise the sweetness is back with a vengeance. The throathit is better too.

Im just astonished by the amount of viscose that i had to put

After 4 days of constant use and changing between five different flavors on the same wick...

...

...Still no gunk, just a little on the actual coils. Didn't need to rewick but did anyway just because I now have nothing to do with my spare time, Lol. Just kidding, I have plenty to do but you get the point. This stuff lasts and tastes great! Thanks again everyone!

Looks like you could've rolled for another 4 days!

dnutz,

Mine stays pretty clean... but what are you vaping "water"?

Seriously what power level are you running?

More like 4 months, considering how clean that is.

It really works that well when you get the quantity dialed in properly. I've had great results on wicks that I'd obviously gotten way wrong with amount but didn't know until I looked at the wick. You can find pics, someone in this thread posted a dripper wick after either 80 or 100 ml of juice. No longer white but still impressively clean.

Bet he wasn't using Boba's!

In a kfl I would go with a slightly snug uncompressed/unrolled rayon wick. With fluff at both sides I would trim at a steep angle to the deck with like a. 1/4 inch full size out of the coil. Set scissors against side of base, angle to about a 1/4 inch or so from coil and cut. Then wet and gently get the thin tips of the wick on the deck.

I find thinned tails works much better. Since the wick works more on an ebb and flow it seems it creates a better suction This way it seems.

This is exactly what I've been doing.. I must have watched one of your videos or read through this whole thread without realizing it.

I'm using hangsen Arabic 100% vg which is one of their darker tobaccos. Still lighter than bobas I'm sure. I Posted pics@ 80-90ml it was still clean. Just the fact that its 100vg I think makes it a big deal to go 90 with no gunk.

Tbev is vaping a custard flavor to 100ml

This is with no dry burning or anything. There's really nothing to dry burn at this point either.

One thing to note, on my iphone HDR setting makes it brighter and the wick looks whiter when the juice is actually browner. However it would show gunking or burning with more contrast.

I've been running anywhere from 20-40 ml of Boba's before I have to dryburn, which is at least twice what I used to get with cotton. That's at 20 watts, regulated. I have no idea what I'm getting on my "clean" juices, I haven't had to dry burn any of them sense switching to Rayon, LOL

OK... I am going to go a few more tanks on my genny and see what it looks like under the coil. The part above the coil is clean not white but the color of the juice (light brown). There is a slight amount of crud a few turn up from the bottom (but just a couple of turns) of the coil but not much (one tank was a NET). Oh - and I am only running at ten watts 1.8 ohm

I will try to post a picture when I get ready to change out the wick but cameras hate me and I have never attempted to post a picture on ECF .

PS - I just tried to read this post and it doesn't even make sense to me. There must be too much alcohol in my DIY flavorings... or sompin.

 

[vapero]

finally got my big box (I thought it was going to be bigger)!!! now I'm set for life. now I change my rayon once a week, about 30ml of juice between re wicks on my origen v2 rda.

I don't see myself going back to cotton anytime soon

 

[nelsonm64]

I've been looking into cellucotton lately and have read interesting things about it. today I stopped by sally's beauty shop and picked up a 3 lb box lol (smallest they had) I've put it in one kayfun sofar and, the flavor is different. better than the organic cotton I've used for months... I dunno, juries still out

 

[awsum140]

Nelconm64, give it some time and fool with how much you're putting in. It can be hard to find that "sweet spot" at first, but it's well worth the effort.

I still get reduced vapor and 'coil crud' after 3-4 tanks, regardless of cotton or rayon - not sure what I'm doing wrong.

This is with 1/16 or 5/64 coil, between 1.4 - 1.8 ohms, running 10-12 watts on a Provari on the Russian.

On the Elf Queen, I'm using a 3/32 coil, 1.8 ohm, running 12 watts...got 4 tanks before the vapor reduced, still had coil crud.

 

[anumber1]

Ok!

Well after getting my rayon today... I now have rewicked EVERYTHING I USE with it.

Sold! Great stuff!

Awesome in my Kayfuns. Great in my Magma. Great in my Atomic.

Now what to do with the other 490 feet of my 500 feet of rayon! This house will never want for cottony fluff again!

JeremyR any chance of posting you video's in a consolidated post or in your blog?

If you have the time it would be appreciated. I searched the thread but couldn't find them and with only a couple pages to skim through I'm not sure how I missed them......
