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

Just use a toaster, 1500 watts!

And if you wick it with Rayon, you might just be able to use up a box of Cellucotton in this lifetime.

This one always worked with cotton. The rayon is in there pretty tight, no gaps that could I see when I wicked it. But I didn't thin the tails out at all, they are just as thick as the portion in the coil. So I'll cut them down a bit next time I fill it. Never heard of thinning them like that because I thought thicker tails would mean it would wick better... like a thicker pipe can carry more water than a thinner one. Guess it doesn't work like that.

I too was never successful at building Kayfuns with Rayon until I started paying attention to what JeremyR has to say about it. This man really knows what he is talking about. I chopped my wick tails and all my Kayfuns (big and small) are now working like champs.

Thanks AMD. Well that's because I've been using it since 2013. I have pretty much the most time & experience with it and understanding of how it works. Many of these devices I don't own, but with knowing how rayon works I can give tips and then you guys perfect it in practice.

I don't know why you guys are concerned with back flow.

Because it ruins the flavor of the juice. That once clear, now muddy juice tastes awful.

I'll just leave this here.

 

[JeremyR]

Cool. Nice find.

Doctors and nurses know its safe. Stu*id vapers think it's not.

Cellucotton, just another name for rayon. Nowadays they use a cotton/rayon blend. Because straight rayon lasts too long.

There's a joke in there about rayon n toxic shock ....nevermind.

I'll just leave this here.

So...........has anyone tried using tampons for wicking? They would have to be pretty clean and chemical free.....I mean, considering where they were intended to go and all!

 

[Tbev]

I believe most of them smell like flowers or something similar right out of the box, prolly not good for vaping..Sally's is close enough.

 

[f1vefour]

I think JeremeyR either tried or considered trying tampon rayon.

Right out of the box........ok, I'm not even gonna go there! lol

Ok I admit it... I looked at tampons once and noticed it was either cotton or rayon with polysorbate 20. Not sure how polysorbate 20 vapes so I checked it off of my list. My better half only uses the unflavored kind so that is why I looked. I don't think the perfumed kind would be a good idea.

Unplanned, this guy did.

Yup. I like 'em a lot. They're all I've used since shortly after I got 'em. I gave away most of the box of GCC I had left.

I tried adding some saline, 1%, to my DIY mixes. All it did for me was make them salty, and yes I used medical grade, sterile, saline. I don't use salt, I like the taste of foods in their natural state, for the most part and am therefor much more sensitive to salty tastes. Now I've got a 500ml bottle of formerly sterile saline, missing a few drops, taking up space on my desk.

I use 10% saline (.9% solution) and 10% DW in my base of 100%VG, and don't get any taste difference. I do it for the moisturizing of throat and sinus. If there is a taste difference I think its for the better, and I'm just used to it.
Its common practice to use at least 10% DW and or saline solution in high VG bases.

i got this as it is easily available on line.
Amazon.com: Gauge Gear® "The Wash" Piercing Aftercare Spray. 3oz, 0.9% USP Nacl Solution. Medical Grade Saline: Body Jewelry: Jewelry
Don't remember exactly where i got it but (same thing) it was a little cheaper than this one.
GaugeGear:"3oz of 100% Natural, 0.9% USP NaCl (sodium chloride) solution, medical grade"

The good thing about it is its not got other stuff in it; just NaCI and DW. You can make your own or find it elsewhere but this was convenient for my purposes.
