Same thing you hear about cotton... Varied reports depending on the user.
Give it time, I think you'll find an aha moment... You just recieved it yesterday... Just the fact that's your saying its as good as or better than cotton after 1 day is saying a lot. It took me quite a while to get cotton down. And lots of people never do. Ever hear
Someone say cotton wick tastes horrible like a t-shirt.... Why do they say that and you don't... Because They don't use the correct density.
I used hemp for 6 months and this blew it away in all catagories... Was able to up wattage from 12-13 to 20-24 same coil only changed the wick. Instant I mean instant change with the very first pull.
Good luck hope you improve your vape game with the new wick.
definitely early yet as you said. watching your video and noticed I do nothing so elaborate when doing my wicks with rayon but maybe I should because just a second ago the set up that has been working really well started to crackle then dry hits. I haven't opened her up yet but I know that the wick must have sagged. I guess with this rayon its the opposite to cotton, while cotton will expand the rayon kind of shrinks. once the wick shrinks, dry hits. now the coil I had in previously had more rayon to it but when I vaped it got that funk to it, the dirty t-shirt taste that usually means to much cotton, or in this case rayon. so maybe by pulling the fibers like you did in the video allows more wicking material into the coil without it choking?
