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!
May not be fully sodium free
Rayon wick, better flow, flavor, saturation and Nic Hit!

I think only if our natural cellulose is treated with chloroacetic acid?
AMD, sorry, I've been having computer problems and have been away.
I dunno if you ever got the Squape R thing straightened out, but that sucker likes to be wicked TIGHT! For some reason, that particular atty seems to be more sensitive to coil burn than all my other atties. So when you get that burnt taste that won't go away no matter what, try packing it a little tighter - unless it smells like burning paper, it's probably coil burn. Also, when you tighten your tank after filling, back it off a little bit. There's about a quarter turn's worth where it turns freely - I think that's your juice flow control. You can play with that, and also, if you need to get a lot of liquid on your wick quickly, try turning it back and forth - it's like pumping liquid in.

Okay, as my tank got low, and my Fogger is my nightstand atty, it is tilted constantly and I got some leakage. So I think I need to increase the density of the tails a bit. Ruined my coil trying to remove the wick, so I have to rebuild it today.
I should really just retire the darn thing, but it still works and is just a PITA to work with.

I hear you there. I had one with very little liquid laid on its side for a while, that definitely was laying in a pile of juice when I finally picked it up. It does fine vertically for me, but if even one of those juice holes aren't completely submerged for more than a few minutes, all bets seem to be off.
That's one of the things I like about my Foggers: they vape great with wick in the channels, and with wick in the channels, they don't flood!
I don't put much wick in them, but with Rayon, it doesn't take much. I leave my iStick/Fogger on its side to charge overnight, and it's never flooded in that amount of time. Of course, I turn them upside down for long term storage.

32g 3 strand, braided nichrome, .6ohm
Flattened super nano ribbon.
All of these with safe 100% rayon wick
I did a total of 3 re-wicks tonight. My coils seem to gunk faster than the actual rayon wicks Nasty looking coils, but the flavor wasn't tainted like on cotton -- it was more the color of the liquid in the tank. There was a slight drop off in flavor only in the Orchid dual coil build. I did manage to get an extra refill out of the KFL clone, at least before the coil went black, so that's good. And man-o-man, it was charred to a briquette. But the flavor was true, which was amazing.
I went back to a smaller diameter coil in the Fogger this time, just because a 2mm ID is easier to work with than a 2.45 mm ID. Didn't have any issues with the installation.
I think I see a 3lb box in my future

22g kanthal wrapped with flat ribbon, reverse wrapped with 32g nichrome. Dual coil .18ohm surprisingly it heats up instantly, just holds on to that heat lol.

Talk about mid-evil Frankenstein builds. Spooky ...lol
I've been using an RM3/A6 dual coil the past couple of months. Very intense flavor. I've settled on 28gauge Kanthal, 2mm ID, .3-.4 ohms. I use 6mg.
Well, last month I purchased a CLT bottm feed. First build, even with tightening the air way down, not much flavor. So, I built down a bit, trying to get there with some improvement. But, still going back to the A6 as my daily driver. Yesterday, I thought I'd try my first "fancy" coil. I wrapped two strands of .6mmx.1mm flat around 26 gauge kanthal by hand then rolled 2mm ID, .2 ohm:
Much better flavor, but still not quite where I'm happy. But, oh my, the nic hit and throat rape. The only way for me to run something like this is to step down to 3mg.

Try putting the air at the edge of the coil. I get better flavor on the CLT that way. May be the last pic but the top coil looks a little light.
Yep! 99% of the time it is coil burn not wick burn. Coil will get hot and burn the juice in it. You get a burnt taste that doesn't go away for a while with out intervention. I'm going on two weeks on my current build in the flashi. Switched to dripper mode for the last week and a number of times I didn't drip when I should have and ran the coil dry. Got the burnt hit and coil was fouled...
98% of the time I can redrip to get the coil wet and take a thin folded paper towel or a qtip and wipe the outside Diameter of the whole coil, removing the carbon burnt juice. Drip more and its clear and ready to keep going and going.
The rayon is always fine its the overheat of the coil that Fry's the juice to the coil.
In that situation I would have just added a little tuft at the channels. Either right in the channel or under or over the existing tail. I mean a very small light tuft of rayon wick. When the rayon is wet it will stay in position .
Really don't have to do an entire rewick. You can mold it like clay. Ad, remove, layer, trim when needed.

My coils have never actually gunked with a proper wick like they did with cotton. It turns black at 6v but thats normal at high power on a vv. You may be wicking too loose or too tight... Have you ever wicked tight enough to taste the rayon? You want to be just shy of tasting rayon on the first few hits.
Others have asked the same.. My blog will quickly take you through 1200 posts with only important info.

Here's part of one-
Tencel *Top - is like ramie *top to work with, if you've tried that. There are guys that have success with it.
I still stand behind rayon being safe to use. Also I've been doing a lot of research to see if I can find tencel in that same cut.
Here's some comparison pics so you can see the difference...
Rayon coil on the left* - tencel top on the right.*

That's what I finally figured out, don't trash the wick just because you get a burnt hit. For many months I was tearing down, cleaning and replacing the wick if I got a burnt hit because that's what I had to do with cotton.
What is that contraption? Is that a home made sqonker with a home made mechanical switch? If so kudos lol. Im getting ready to put a few builds together
No, haven't tasted the rayon on any of the builds. I'll try packing it a bit tighter then.

I was looking at that too, I like it! What that says to me is a big FU to anyone who would want to try and keep us from vaping. All that will happen is people will go underground to share ideas & resources and become very creative. Good job Verb!
