It will take a bit to feel this rayon out.. I know I wicked it too tight but I can't decide if there may be a little bit of residual bleaching agent left on it.. They would want it completely clean and free of pathagens... Will have to see, I'll rinse some for my next wicking and see if there's any difference. Also try one unrinsed with a little less density. But it will be a while before I do.
It was a while back (when I was looking into TSS) and can't remember where now, but I kinda remember reading that rayon releases dioxins when it's bleached. Did that ever get addressed?

Jeremy....are you trying to get 400 ml out of the tampon?-----------------:D

The 300 ml or so from Sally didn't cut the cake?----:vapor:

Not everyone wants to buy a big box and it may not be convenient to find a Sally's, or they just want to try it out for $3.50.. This should be available everywhere, simple cheap and easy for people to get at thier local store.

Its really the same as the bottle rayon. From what I van tell so far, and I always liked that kind a lot. It was the foundation of this thread.

Back in the 40s they were using regular bleach which always creates dioxins. Google elemental chlorine free bleaching. Its chlorine dioxide, or hydrogen peroxide... I use stabilized chlorine dioxide in my toothpaste and mouthwash - care of, neways, closys, or therabreath... All Excellent products.

I had also posted the FDA's stance on the subject which clarified it completely.

WOW Jeremy .. I switched to rayon almost one year ago, been using Sally's and Delasco ever since. Saw your post about the "KU" just as I was headed to the store, so I added the KU to my list. Got home with it, opened up one tampon, amazing how much is in just one after it's fluffed up. Anyway, wicked it into a coil in a REO and have been chain vaping it for the past 2 hours and must say this is making my juice taste even better than it did with either the Sallys or Delasco .. if this holds up as great tomorrow as it is right now then this is all I'll be using from now on! Thanks Jeremy .. the KU is fantastic!

Hi stash!

Really!
Good to hear the feed back.. Yeah its funny we can try all these kinds and its come down to the simple free bottle rayon or Ku rayon being among the best you can get. Right down at the local store.. Lol

And the rayon in all forms is so cheap to try your really not out anything. Its about what ¢.25 a KU.

Keep me posted.. Thanks!

Your now essentially using the bottle/ pharmaceutical rayon, that I always thought was the best to begin with.. Glad you notice a difference too. .. Amazing how tight that sucker is packed, I was surprised it fluffed back out so well and so easily.

Since I pulled a few strands out of the coil this has been vaping great. Flavor is spot on..

I'm kinda surprised I can take this one up to 8v without burning, and with only a 2mm air flow.. 7.4v/40w to one coil is about all I can take and it does it easily.. (Heat equal to 80w on a dual)

Well delascos may be slow to ship with the weekend..maybe you can still cancel the order and get refund.. just tell them you found the equivilant in Europe.. they will probably understand. Email them now; to the appropriate email for orders.

You need to be sure it says 100% rayon fiber. Or just rayon fiber on the label.

Not "rayon and/or cotton fibers".. Or you may end up with half or more cotton. Not good.

Sent from my keyboard through my phone or something like that.

I was going to pm you but didn't think you were serious about ordering that second.

Look at my previous post. Check the lable.

Google shopping search of different brands shows the full labeling of the product.
