good on you!
Rayon wick, organic, no preservatives, gluten free, fat free, sodium free and high in dietary fiber wick is the best wick for vaping!
Yeah but is it Kosher?
Rayon wick, better flow, flavor, saturation and Nic Hit!

TIL: thin your tails even more than you already did. Well, at least in my case. With the DNA40 and no burning at all (set at 420), I could clearly see a "path" through where the liquid flows after a couple of tanks. Some parts of the tails were slightly darker, and of course, that's just juice sitting there. So I cut these off as well, only leaving the clear bits. I think that reduced my tails to about 20% of the total wick. Result: it wicks even better, and it stays completely clear. Yeah, I know, this has been said many times, but I'm a slow learner.
This is in a Kayfun 4 BTW, but I suppose it works for most RBA's out there.

Happy new year.
Rayon is pure cellulose. There are no chemicals in the products we use.

It can't be said enough!!! Well done!
The rayon will speak to you if you listen.
Its just tencel. It was discussed in length early on in the thread. In First 300-500 posts probably.
Only thing tencel does is use an organic solvent and a closed loop. This is NOT done for a more pure fiber but only environmental reasons. Due to possible contamination of waterways from byproducts of regular rayon production from back in the 40s. But modern standard production is much cleaner and the recycle and reuse the byprpducts rather than dump them in the rivers.
The end product is very similar but to me it seems the tencel is not as good doesn't seem as clean to me. I think it has to do with the they use.. Its not as effective at creating the purity of regular rayon.
Regular Rayon Cellulose is 100% organic anyway. Tencel
just uses an environmentally conscious solvent in the manufacturing process.
I use regular rayon, not tencel - though I have 2 bags of it.

Lately I have noticed a lack of 'sizzle' coming from my rayon wicks. That was something that was very evident when I first started using rayon wicks. It was real noticeable when the wick was new. I'm thinking this lack of sound may be because I'm using too much rayon in the coil or maybe there's a difference between the med bottle rayon and Sally's rayon that I'm now using. It's been awhile but IIRC the sound seemed to decline as the wick aged and I could use that as a kind of indicator for when to rewick, but lately there's not been much sound coming from the wick/coil period. So my question is, does that audible sizzle or crackle (especially from a fresh wick) have anything to do with having the right amount of wick in the coil?
I would hope that I didn't lead anyone to think the Tencel was more pure of a fiber compared to any other 100% Rayon source, as I never intended that nor believed that. I definitely didn't think fiber production companies (in "developed" nations) would just dump their byproducts into the rivers etc, unless it was safe and had an economic benefit to them. I also recognize that their are places where companies can and do dump their solid and liquid waste so long as it's cheaper for them to do so than to dispose of it properly.
I thought regular Rayon (what goes through a lengthy process and where various toxic chemicals are used in production) was 'from organic sources' but not organic in itself, but then again... I don't care about 'organic' for my own uses... maybe I should have used a <sarcasm> tag in my earlier posts when talking about 'it making all the difference'. Although, for bringing others over to Rayon use... if there is a Rayon that uses an organic processes with non-toxic solvent in a closed-loop system and they get their source material from certified sustainable farms etc, then I'll be using this information as best as I can when confronted with people talking about Rayon being toxic, contaminated, etc.
Either way, I ordered a variety of fiber and will be happy to try them out first hand.
I get it man...that's precisely the reason I searched out the tencel as well.
My reply could have been directed better.. It was a general reply on the subject. I don't want people to think standard rayon has any chemicals in it as there is plently of bs out there and still permeating from pbusardo. The video was well early on in rayons acceptance and to me it still holds as holding people back.. All it is- is fear of the unknown because they don't know or understand the science behind it. They don't think they feel comfortable.
So yeah rayon is pure isolated cellulose. There is absolutely no possible danger from the product.(general public)

Jeremy, wondering if you could edit the first post to include some of the more recent info? It's the reason I ordered tencel because I didn't read far enough to find out it wasn't as good as regular rayon. And it might curtail some of the repetitive questions. Just a thought
After a certain matter of time you lose the ability to edit posts.
I think Jeremy could edit the first post if he contacted a mod about it. I believe they have the ability to enable it.
