A bottle of the melatonin is around $4 at your local Walmart for the small sized bottle. Not sure if bottle size matters in terms of whether or not the filler is rayon or cotton. Didn't see a particular size pill or count mentioned in the postings, just the brand name and product. If I had $4 to spend now I'd get a bottle.

I just received my batch today. So far, have tried on a Kayfun 3.1. My impressions seem a bit different, however:
I am finding a smoother draw then cotton, but about the same vapor production- maybe even a tad less. However, the vapor seems thicker, "silkier", and as mentioned, significantly smoother. Because of that, the impression is less throat hit then cotton. It imparts virtually no taste of its own, so the flavor profile appears very accurate and "clean". rewicks very quickly, so appears excellent for chain vaping and possibly sub-ohming although I don't know how well it handles extreme temperature compared to cotton- I am *thinking* better then cotton, due to its very fast saturation properties. I'm going to play with some other atty's and also try using it as a "core" in a genesis build, with some mesh wrapped around it. I think it would be ideal for that!

It was just the small bottle and id guess its about a 1/4-1/2oz of rayon in it... Cheaper than ordering and you get meletonin too... It will come in handy cause you'll be vaping yourself into oblivion. (Burn test any bottle rayon to confirm)

Gary glad to have you onboard.. Crank up the wattage and you'll have a better vape.. Yes that's one thing I may have forgot to mention .. It's a very smooth hit, because it's fully saturated the coil isn't drying out.. Producing a harsh hit.

It saturates the coil so heavily without flooding that you need more power... The low vapor is from the saturation. More power will make it shine.. Or use a different density to compensate.

You guys getting nic'd out? That was the third thing I noticed with it... The nicotine really hits you.

What up guys! Just got my 3oz of tencel in... Looks great and wow 3 oz is like 2-3 years worth easily.. It's a ton! I'll add a picture to this post later..

Also got a flash e-vapor in today that I will be building it with tencel tonight when the kids go to bed.

Hey Brian.. Well I vape 12mg and just changing to rayon I instantly got a nic buzz off it.

Cracked open my two Spring Valley melatonin bottles (5mg), and to my disappointment, both were cotton. I desperately then opened my fiancee's Nature Made magnesium to the same disappointment. I'm so bummed :-(

on my first build with the taifun i stuffed the wick in, it would have been way too much for cotton and it vaped great.
i rewicked it using the same amount as i would with cotton and it wound up flooding a little. rewicked it with quite a bit third time and is vaping great. i think being that the wick is always exposed to juice in a taifun, that tencel wicks so well that maybe it works better to add more than you would with cotton so it reigns it in a little. with the kayfuns, the wick is not always submersed and when i wicked it like you would with cotton it vaped great.
idk...need more feedback i guess

Mine from WC Mercantile arrived too. Tastes smoother and cleaner than cotton. Still trying to figure out how much to use in my RM2 though. Vapor is definitely thicker. I'm having trouble putting the Tencile in my coil though. Maybe should do a little larger coil than my current one that's a little less than 2mm I think. Hmm...

I weighed each cotton swath from the bottles. Each was about 2g (which appears to be enough for maybe 100 1/16" ID wicks). If rayon/tencel is around the same density, that's how much you can expect from the melatonin bottles (if you get lucky and don't get cotton like me).

With 28g to an ounce, you guys with your half ounce to full ounce orders will have quite a bit of tencel.
