Thanks for the welcome Tony!

Wow! That's one good value for money piece of rayon!

I guess because I vape one particular menthol coconut juice 98% of the time I have become very particular about the exact taste and I find after half a day I can taste the change... putting in a new wick is instantaneous pleasure again!

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

South Africa in the house. :)

I use a 100vg Arabic tobacco and go anywhere from 100-270ml so far.. Tobaccos aren't as touchy as say a coconut flavor I'm sure..

My guess for you sir, if you would like to get longer life out of it without losing flavor, is the following. ..

From your description I would say your probably under wicking it compared to us. I will work abd juice tastes pure.. but after a day it usually starts to lose contact with the coil causing it to heat up more as the coil drys. Then you have slightly burnt juice o. The coil and the flavor starts going downhill..

This burnt taste, whether its from being too loose or just a good wick that you ran dry, Can usually simply be wiped off the coil. I drip and lightly wipe the coil with folded paper towel or napkin, ect... , * just to absorb the burnt juice off the coil. Then it will be good again. Usually burnt taste has nothing to do with the rayon but the coil. It the coil gets to hot the juice will burn to it.

So if you want it to last longer, try using a little more density so that after a day when the fibers set and come together they won't end up being loose.

Or not if you like doing it the way you are

Thank you Rayon Guru! Appreciate the advice and will give it a full go! Rayon Rocks! I bought two of the large box's from Amazon not realising just how much rayon it was... but at least I have managed to convert a few South African vapers to rayon! ;-)

2mm. Titanium. 3 strands of 30 gauge, tightly twisted together. ~0.25 ohms. On a DNA40, of course. :) I suspect the opposite. Rayon doesn't swell, it it does anything, it shrinks. In fact, if it tastes good at first and goes downhill quick, chances are it has shrunk to point where it's no longer in full contact with the coil. I'd suggest you want more rayon in there rather than less, if you want to reduce your maintenance.
Imho: when the material degrades releasing acetates, coppers, sulfurs, and contaminants from the semi-synthetic production, we wonder what's that funky smell and taste. Ick. No thanks. And, I had a question. How do you vape off an Evolv board (mentioned in your signature) .. burn your fingers? What's your atty brother? Cheers.

I'm not certain I am following you... do you mean from the production of the PG, VG, Nic, flavorings, coil or the wick?

Lol, yeah you could supply all the vapers in south africa with two boxes! :)

Big up on taking the chance on rayon, was that an order you made in faith and based on reviews.., or had you tried a sample.

It seems you are well off track... There are none of the chemicals you speak of in the product we are using. Sorry.. The only taste on a dry hit is from burning juice on the coil. Not the rayon. Period.. Proven. Discussed a million times.

Thanks for you for your concern but its not needed, your mislead or unknowledgeable about what we are doing..

If you want to learn go back in this thread or ask for information and we can point you in the right direction.... Otherwise move along, thanks.

Oh one other thing.
Don't even try to step in here and smart mouth rossum, you can easily be removed.

I don't see a sig with evolv in it so I guess this was meant for another thread. He's probably wondering where it went.

Awesome Rob, spread the love when you can.

And its amazing how much you can vape a coil when only the outside coils are touching rayon and the middle has lost contact. Rayon usually does reduce in size, it never swells so you want it pretty snug to start with

Oh forgot to add, no gunking at 270ml VG tobacco juice

Last time I heard from him he was chucking happily on his brand new sx mini m class and building HUGE coils to fit a hand full of rayon at a time :)

He should appear soon enough :)

Went by a gas station yesterday. While I was paying, I noticed a small box of ob right behind the counter. It was overpriced BUT now I can sleep better but cause even if I run out of it at 3 am, I now know where to get more right away :D

I mean the rayon ;)

Just get a box of 1000 Tidi balls and you'll never have to worry about running out. :D
In Portugal? No chance and I don't think they ship it oversees.

I'll have to live with 10 balls at a time. :S
