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

[HolmanGT]

Can you just trim the wick shorter so it won't be able to block it?

Or cut a v notch into the wick then it would form into the shape you want when you set it and wet it.

That's why your the Boss... simple and to the point.

 

[HolmanGT]

It is E.H.Pro Big Budha. And it is one contiguous single wick.

Thanks AMD, Now I know why it looks like a battle tank. "Gotta get me one of those".

PS - It looks really good on the Seven 30. When you posted the first picture of the Seven 30 you cost me $90 bucks and here we go again.

It did say drip proof... not much about shaking it with the top off. By the way if it makes you feel any better I did that with my coffee creamer this morning. Grabed it up and shook it with no lid on. Need I say it went everywhere.

Now I am off to buy a Rogue. The only reason I held off was I watched a video and the guy said it wasn't very airy and I like airy.

I'm with you Holman, I like an airy draw too. I recently got a Rose and it has a tight draw like a stock clearo but outside a dripper this thing gives the best flavor of anything I've tried to date, I mean it's just outstanding. I hate to say it but I like it better then the Flash-e, even stuck with mouth draws it's hard to set it down sometimes. It's also pretty darn easy to build, some folks have a tough time getting the legs of the coils trimmed the correct length and set in the holes but I haven't had any problems. It has adjustable juice flow control, just twist the drip tip to open the flow up, and I get no flooding at all. I was vaping it in bed one night and fell asleep, next morning when I woke up it was laying on it's side and I realized I hadn't shut the juice flow off, I was sure the sheets would have a big wet spot of juice but it never leaked a drop.

I'm tempted to drill it out and open the air flow but I'm afraid I'll ruin the flavor. I suppose I could cut tubes off a blunt needle and insert it in the opened holes to return it to a tight draw if it did ruin the flavor, the thought is tempting.....

Willy, I have heard a lot of good reports on the Rose and God knows it is pretty popular but I just don't know about going back to a tight draw. I am not a cloud chaser but I like the visual aspect of a good plume and I am a 24mg lung-hitter. I have a KayFun 3.1 that I was able to drill out a little and I still use it mostly when I am out and about because it has that built in flood trap. But sometimes when I am driving along and notice my chest getting tight from trying to pull on it like a dripper or my Lemo... anyway if you get crazy enough to drill it out let me know how that goes (but if you kill the flavor I never asked you to drill it ).

Beside that Rogue that "Paul" picked up is only $11 dollars and some change. If Paul is happy with it, it can't be all that bad I mean just look at his Avatar does that look like a guy that is easy to please.

OK - So now I am off to YouTube to check out some Rose reviews. I sure am glad that vaping is saving me so much money. Between you, AMD and Paul I may have to apply for some kind of Federal subsistence to help with my Vaping PARAPHERNALIA addiction.

 

[JeremyR]

I just can deal with a tight draw anymore.. I've despised it starting back in the clearo days..lol

I used an oddy before the flash, it had the JC and never flooded no matter with rayon. But the draw just couldnt be open up any more with it. I drilled the pin to the max. If I could get something with JC and a 2mm+ air flow I'd get one.

 

[HolmanGT]

Jeremy,

I am in the middle of watching a couple of Rose reviews on UT but I am with you on tight draws. Also it is all your fault ever since I discovered that Rayon and Lemo or Fogger could keep up with my chain vaping I have become so spoiled I don't know if I could really go back to not doing lung hits.

One big problem I have is I don't have any desire to reduce my Nic intake (except when I get buzzed) nor do I plan on quitting vaping. As long as I don't feel any need to go back to Cigs I'm Golden.

Now that I have said all that I am a sucker for new gadgets... so with that back to YouTube [Thanks Willy] .

If your having trouble with the rogue's afc you may have to sand the afc tops down a tiny bit. Some of them are too tall by a tiny bit and it results in a lack of seal around the driptip hole. I set mine on some pretty fine sandpaper and took a tiny bit off and all of a sudden the afc started working. Also you dont want to center your air holes on your coils unless you run it wide open bc it opens at the end of the slit so that's where your air is coning in. If that didnt make sense lmk... I'll elaborate. .. My 3rd build is a 0.3ohm 24ga dual coil build and I'm very happy with the flavor ... and I have high standards when it comes to flavor!

I'm really leaning toward drilling it out, but there are a couple things I have to figure out first. If you got a good look at the deck inside of the base where the coil sets you have seen the one air hole is dead center, the air hits the bottom of the coil. To keep juice from running down the hole they made a small raised nipple in the deck, drilling the hole will eliminate that nipple so I would have to drill it out larger then the hole I want then insert a tube and leave it setting above the deck to take the place of the nipple. I was thinking of looking into the dimensions of different size blunt needles to use as the tube. I'll also have to figure out if I can get a tube with the same size ID as the hole that's in the base now so I can return it to original specs if I ruin the flavor by opening it up. I'm hoping I'll get lucky and find I can just get a couple blunts, one larger to open the air flow and another that will fit inside the larger and end up close back to the original size hole, but it probably won't be that easy. I've got to google the specs of blunt needles and do the math first.

 

[JeremyR]

Question?with rayon is there any juice building up in the deck? You may find it isn't and the bump is only needed with cotton.. Just a thought that could save some trouble..

 

[JeremyR]

OK guys so I had to decommission my flash-e build.. Right at 30 days.. It would have kept going if I didn't fall asleep on it and fire it who knows how many times.. It was still vaping OK..but I dripped hs turbo smog on it which doesn't go away for days.. Also then decided to pull on the wick, kinda jacked it up and it just wouldn't support 6v after that... So here it is..

Note - the turbo is totally black in color and its still in there. Sorry focus is terrible. I am figuring out how to use this crappy camera.

30 days on The dot, killed by auto fire. ~ 180+ mls vg at high voltage with hs Arabic mostly. On a stacked zmax....



This is after only a rinse under water.. You can see there isn't any real gunk.. 180 ml straight through..



More photos to come later, I experienced something quite astounding after this.. Also build photos following... Now if I could figure out how to make that picture grouping like AMD..?

 

[Raguvian]

I'm thinking of maybe buying some Five Pawns today. If I do, it looks like the original rayon wick that I've been using for the past few weeks will be coming out of my Vertex V2.

Should I give it a proper burial for all its hard work?

You know I didn't think about that, good point Jeremy! I just took it apart to see and there is no juice on the deck at all so your right, that nipple doesn't matter. I did a quick search on blunt needles, looks like those will work for a tube if I decided to return the air hole to it's original size but I would have to stack at least a couple tubes, (tube in a tube). I'll dive into it more and make sure before I break out the drills.

I would think the playing of TAPS would be in order.

Willy,

That seem like a lot of work to possibly end up messing-up something that is already giving you GOOD flavor... But if you like me and once you get an idea in your head "Damn the Torpedoes". I don't know if they make blunts big enough and I don't have the link anymore but AMD posted some links to eBay sales of S.S. body piercing tubes that come in sizes from very small to "if you use this one your going to need an E.R. Doctor to stop the bleeding" - Just kidding but they really run the range from very small to giant. I know that AMD used them to build an lip on one of his drippers.

PS - if you need to drill the ceramic cup I would really give that a second or third thought. Anytime I have ever tried drilling ceramics it never ended well.

 

[XBarbarian]

practically since the beginning of my rda/ rta experience ( august.. about 1 month into vaping ) I have been Rayon ever since. I keep trying ko gen do, etc.. but everything is muted compared to rayon.
just cant go backwards at this point. tanks and drippers deserve rayon for the best flavor possible, imho.

 

[JeremyR]

+1 xbarbarian!

Ugh reading 1012 pages is not for me, as I can't even finish a kiddie book at 8 pages with pictures only. So I'll rather just ask the most commonly asked question yet again:
Is this the rayon I'm looking for? http://www.amazon.com/SANEK-Celluco...UTF8&refRID=0PS5RKZDDQWRPXW52V11&tag=e04ed-20

Just got some rayon to compare with my koh gen doh this week, and I'm actually impressed with it. Seems to wick faster, last longer, I found no taste in it whatsoever. And the best kicker of them all, when i accidentally had a "dry hit" it was just hot as **** vapor, not burnt. So think I'm gonna get me a box (5 lifetimes supply) of this stuff to play with.

Absolutely not !!! Look at the picture and it says 100% COTTON. What you want comes in a box that look identical but says 100% Rayon.

haha, that's why it's always best to ask before ordering. This was posted in some random thread I came across.
This is what I tested that made me want to replace my stockpile of koh gen doh: Vaping Outlaws Rayon Cotton

Wow, that's like 8 inches (30 cm) for over $2

UK Ebay has this:

***Graham's Cellucotton 10 Feet > 90 Feet Vaping cotton wick 100% Rayon Ecig *** | eBay

It's looks like that sale ended...
