But I'm lazy and want to keep it in there as long as possible. :laugh:

I'll give you another reason, and it goes back to the roots of what we are doing: my wife is still smoking 1 cigarette a day, but is now finally on the verge of completely quitting. She is not interested in faffing around, has no interest in building coils, and when she sees a screwdriver she calls me to clean up my mess... Yet she quickly graduated from her eGo setup after trying my setups, and she now has my (original) Nemesis with my (original) Kayfun, as well as a backup Castle mod with a clone Kayfun, Both setups are 18500's with the protection of the Kick2.

At first I did the filling up for her, but since I bought her some Fasttech topcaps with fill ports, and the uCan, she is no longer dependent on me for that - which is great for both. I also instructed her on how to recharge her batteries - she has her own Nitecore now - and I'm lucky she really likes my DIY juice (which is a copy of Castle Long).

So the only thing she now depends on are my builds. Given that she has to travel for work and often isn't at home for a few days, I need to make sure her wicks and coils work perfectly and keep on working as long as possible. That way she can really enjoy vaping, and now has days where she has 0 analogs. Not because I'm nagging her about it - lawd knows we all had enough nagging when we were smokers! - but because I provide her with the best gear and setups possible.

So, this unsollicited glimpse into my family life ;) just to say that for me it is vital to have coils and wicks that keep on going as long as possible. Next week she's going to Italy for 10 days, and the builds need to be up for that. That makes it much less academical for me. Rayon was a big part of this, and that's the reason why I'm interested in spaced coils now too.

Oh come on... a pain to coil? Unless you're doing quad coils on it, I don't see the difficulty :)

I do twisted coils so yeah it's a pain, I have to get my drill out and my pliers..I have a tinkering son so these two things generally entail 5+ minutes to locate. Then disassemble the Kayfun, clean it, check the orings for any damage, twist wire, wrap coil, wick, trim wick, reassemble while fighting top chimney oring to stay in hole, fill...And finally vape again.

It's a lot easier just to fill it ;)

The less I have to do it the better. I can relate to wideo's post also. With a busy work schedule, kids, and a wife. The less you have to mess with it the better. Many new vapors complain that they have to fiddle with vaping too much. With cigarettes all you have to do is pull one out and light it. Rayon will keep more people vaping than any tmc ever could...That's my personal opinion and assessment. It eliminates the fiddling and problems in normal vaping more than anything I've ever tried.

If I can go weeks instead of days you better believe I'm lovin it... Lol.

I rebuilt my coil with rayon for my smoktech aro tank when I first got my rayon, and it is still going great! After I got how to rewick with rayon correctly it has been working just wonderfully :) I really love the rayon :) It did take me a bit to get used to how well it wicks and therefore how well it delivers nicotine :) I spent a couple of days getting nauseous from getting too much nicotine. So, I have been having yo vape less. I vape 6mg to 8mg tops. If eliquids tasted the same at 0mg nicotine I would completely remove the nicotine when I diy, but I just cannot get them to taste the same as they taste with nicotine....they are just too sweet and it overpowers the flavor and I only get a sweet taste...for me anyways. I am sure if I practiced maybe I could get 0mg nicotine recipes to taste the same as recipes with nicotine. I only vape pretty much one flavor: my diy hazelnut, FW hazelnut mixed with NF Vanilla cream. I am obsessed with hazelnut so much that I only vape hazelnut flavors (occasionally I will vape other flavors....but not very often) :)
The rayon makes my hazelnut flavor taste soooo good :) So, I am very happy with the rayon :)

Right when I thought I had everything that I needed.....after making eliquids for my sister..... now I have to get more VG, PG, and nicotine when I get to buy vape stuff....lol it will be a while before my bf will let me buy more vape stuff since i just spent my vape budget last week :) Totally worth it though, because I got my sister everything she needs to get started vaping :) plus more!

I used to vape a lot of hazelnut when I first started diy. Mixed it with tobaccos. Flavor art hazelnut with FA Virginia, dark vapor, or burley. Been a while since I vaped a hazelnut now..
I love hazelnut eliquids :) I have never tried Flavor Art hazelnut flavorings. I have tried TFA and FW hazelnut, and I like them :)
I am so obsessed with hazelnut which makes it easy for me, because I truly do not need any other eliquid flavor and with my monitored vape budget....lol.... it is much cheaper than buying eliquid made from vendors :) I am happy that I found my ADV pretty fast when I first started vaping :) I have been vaping hazelnut since last year when I started vaping :)
