Glad you like it!

I would stick with it man, that pharmacuitical rayon is some good stuff man. I really liked it. I thought the uniformity was better with it, but then again it's not in a 500ft roll like CCr.

Glad you scored the rayon in your bottle, was it the 3 mg or 1 mg?

I'd really like to know what bottle, that way people that want to try it can spend 4 buck and get 6 Months worth of it.. I thought the bottle rayon was excellent.

It was the 1mg bottle my friend! And the bottle was not labeled anywhere stating the contents were rayon, but when I felt it, I knew this was no cotton and I had hit pay dirt! So far my home slice hasn't tasted better and I've put my mod down 4 or 5 times in the past two hours. Great stuff!

Here's my wicking tonight.. Spaced out my parallel coil to try, also got it down to 1.4 for the zmax.

Soaked, also when I primed it I put a drop on the wick turned it upside down and it did not
Drip off, after a few seconds it sucked the drop up into the wick.

Adjusted the coils, and an hour later.. On hangsens Arabic tobacco.

Ok thank you very much... Hear that interested peeps.. You can follow my opening post suggestion and try the 1 mg spring valley meletonin bottle to see if you score some rayon.

My rayon ball was in a 5mg bottle. I don't think it will last 6 months though using it in several attys.

Yeah, you can really feel the difference between the rayon balls and the cotton balls that come in pill bottles.

So I put the Tencil Rayon in my Taifun GT Clone and it's been working great. I've had it in there since Friday, I believe. I think I will prefer the Tencil in tanks like my Protank and Taifun... and will like the Cellucotton Rayon for dripping as it seems to have a more cotton-like texture/consistency.
I see what you were saying Jeremy about the Tencil being a little tricky to work with. It's really fluffy... for lack of a better word. I did just boil the Cellocotton today so it'll be good by tomorrow. (yes, I'm paranoid and I boil everything)

I just double checked my bottle of Melatonin TR 5mg and it's made by Natrol, not Spring Valley. So there's more than one source of pill bottle rayon.

Thanks tmcase, I know it could be in many kinds. Just wanted to confirm which ones have it. Thanks for another confirmed find.

gack... my throat is on fire, way too much nic hit... sure taste great tho, even using some weird juice I thought I disliked. Now that i've figured out my sx350, im chief'in on this rayon, cotton would have failed trying out high 20+ watts...

You can see many of my posts around ecf in search of a stronger th without going high nic 24-36. Well this rayon has delivered the satisfaction I need and no longer have to chain vape all day. I can actually put my mod down now. :)

as the juice level goes down there probably would be but with cotton I could see bubbles after nearly every hit, not the case with CC.

update: there we go. I'm down to about half a tank and just saw a few tiny bubbles.

Instead of glugging, and air being forced by the wick. The air is transported through the wicks thousands of air pockets. Maybe a hand off if you will inside the rayon.

The air that is already there has enough room to expand before seeing the first bubble, the bubbles we are talking about are the ones caused by suction.

You guys are nuts! If anything, I'm seeing MORE bubbles with this stuff. My guess would be that it's because it's wicking/vaporizing more juice!

Yeah that very well could be the case, all my stuff is solid stainless. I Don't pay attention to the wife's evod. It could be that the bubbles are smaller Less noticeable ? I didn't say there wasn't any though, just trying to provide an explanation above.. And it seems that it would be that the bubbles are smaller, dissipate faster, and are less noticeable...

I've made many posts in the forum way back in the t3 days, stating that you should see bubbles rising in the tank every 3-4 vapes or your not getting good flow. ..at that time there wen't many talking about it.. Though it's common sense..:) Now it's become widely known what to look for.. Don't think for a second that I'm not onboard with the bubble deal. I used to run protanks with tanks unscrewed for maximum flow and air bubbles

The rayon is probably just more efficient at this.

My go-to tank is a Fogger V4 full of Boba's, vaping at 20 watts. I don't get very many bubbles after I refill my tank, but once they start, they really big bubbles, and they're after almost every hit. I'm sure the viscosity of the juice and the power you're vaping at has something to do with the size and amount of bubbles you'll see, but I cant imagine the wick has much to do with it.

Confirmation on the CC, it's much better than the Tencel Rayon. With the Tencel, I was getting a massive change in flavor way before the wicks were even close to dry. The CC gives a cleaner taste as well, and keeps the flavor consistent for much longer.

Now, what to do with 1/2 lb of Tencel...... let me daughter use it to make hair weaves for her dolls?

Cellucotton has been the bomb in the evod, tencel worked too but I think the cellucotton worked better. It exchanged the air more efficiently and consistently I think so far. But haven't gone back to tencel yet.
No overwick is needed with the cellucotton. Overwick just chokes the flow. The rayon will attract/ hold the juice so no flooding.

Well if any wick is too tight you won't get bubbles, so in effect it does have to do with the wick. Ie to much overwick in a factory kanger head..

Bubbles are alway good my friend. Agreed!
