Its feeding fast enough to support 13w @ 2.4ohms? Wow, thats 5.6v and 30g heats up quickly. No burnt or dry hits? How is the material holding up?

im running a quad 32ga braided coil at .7ohms with the air intake drilled to 1/8 and no tube on my taifun and the wick is way handling it

....Here's what I have for y'all today, this would indicate that the na2so4(sodium sulfate) is effectively removed from the molecule in washing. As salts have an affinity to water. They probably used distilled because it's highly attractive to minerals, like salts... Leaving pure regenerated cellulose, (Cellulose OH)

Would be nice to see the pages missing in the preview, but @ $207 for the ebook, it's a bit too expensive

Went to the post office today to mail out a few samples I'd promised. Asked if the postage (single stamp) was OK for the weight.

She said "Well, the weight is fine, but you need another 23 cents because they're thick."

That caught me by surprise! Apparently if it won't fit through the machines, it costs extra (even though these would have gone through the machines just fine....).

Anyone else sending out samples seen this?

Sorry, Andria,

Click where it says "this item qualifies for free shipping". Starts out with: FREE SHIPPING on any purchase of $85 or more!

So you only have to buy 35 boxes!

Ahh.. oh well. I do have a Sally's near, and if they have the 40' boxes, I'll get it there. If all they have is the 500' boxes, no way; I'll be ordering online.

Just another reason why usps stinks. Regular first class for a letter size envelope has a limit of 1/4" thickness, otherwise you have to pay extra if the thickness of the envelope is over 1/4". I tried flattening the CC down as flat as I could get it, but in a letter size envelope it still was over 1/4" in thickness.

Some post offices will turn a blind eye and let it slip thru with just one stamp on it, but others can be real stinkers and ask for the increased postage.

I just got about a foot of it, in a regular legal envelope, and it just has one stamp.

How long did y'all say the break-in period is, or how many puffs? I just got my daytime-kayfun rewicked, and it's vaping great, none of that chewing-on-blue-jeans taste I always got for the first 5-10 hits with cotton. Don't really taste much of anything except the juice, which is a nice change of pace; there might be a very faint "other" taste, which I guess is the rayon? It's really faint though, not sure if I'm really tasting anything or not, except the juice. But I guess for it to be slap-bang-incredible I'll need to wait till I've vaped, what, 10-20 hits? I did use a good bit more than I would with cotton; at first I used about the same amount, but I could see right away, as soon as I juiced the ends to place them on the ledges, that it wasn't nearly enough, so I started over with a much thicker chunk.

phew......ok, just finished rewicking and recoiling an Aqua, a Fogger, and 5 T3 heads. My poor Kayfun has some juice in it still, so it'll have to wait its turn, which might be a while considering how much I'm enjoying the other 3 RBAs.

Was just about to round file these T3s and MT3s....couldn't get em to draw right or stop gurgling/leaking for nothing.
Popped one of my rewicked heads in one though, and so far.......great flavor and no problems. I'm encouraged.
So much for stealth vaping, or taking a discreet puff at work or Walmart. Even this T3 is putting out thick clouds!

On the Kayfun it takes me about 15 minutes of vaping to really get saturated, especially if I recoiled it at the same time. Most of it is breaking in the coil and not so much the rayon. It gets better real quick and stays that way.. :)

I took several envelopes to the PO the other day. One of them had at least 10 feet stuffed in it. The guy behind the counter told me I'd have to mail it as a parcel, so I took it outside and popped it in the mailbox. Tbev said it arrived fine...

OP first post. What tank is that from i.e. the coil in the picture ?

Tobecco oddy clone.. (Sorry imeo I'm poor)

How many wraps and gauge?

1/16 5-6 wraps of 32 non contact spaced coils, 1.8 ohm on an ego. It's so good I could vape it and be cool. No overwick the CCr just wicks and holds if you use the right density for the coil.

Yeah, I did do a fresh coil for it, I was fooling around with higher resistance coils yesterday, and the 2.2Ω that was in there was ok, but kinda slow; did a new one at 1.8Ω, which is about where I usually aim; using my new 29ga, 8/7 wraps on a 7/64, and I could tell when I tested it that it wasn't slow at all -- it's vaping terrifically. And yeah, there is more vapor, even with my 80% PG juice; using cotton, when a new wick was breaking in, there was very little vapor at all.

When I do my evening-kayfun, I shiould be able to tell a bit quicker; it's got a 2Ω coil that was working really well last night, so I'll stick with that one for a while. Next up: the ARO Pyrex! Which might be a pain to get the rayon into, that coil is so small.

Actually I might even re-do my dripper first; someone was saying yesterday that when you aren't dependent on a vacuum, that the P&C yarn was fine, and I was messing with it last night in my caterpillar-- and she was right, it does do a much better job when there's no vacuum involved, but I'd really love to REALLY taste that Pina Colada flavor I was dripping last night.
