For the very life of me, I can't imagine why everyone isn't using this. I ordered a half pound (lifetime supply) of the TENCEL from that earlier posted website. Threw a 1.2 ohm 28g microcoil with the Tercel onto my Atty, and WOW! Vapor production is best ever, wicking amazingly well, and even turned down my wattage because the flavor was overcoming me with sweet, sweet deliciousness! I have Koh Gen DO cotton, and I thought that was good, but this is crazy! :laugh: Don't be a hater, just try it!

Awesome man!!!!



I know me too I was going to post a cricket or something that's all I've got. Crickets, that's it.

Its great isn't it, almost unbelievable what it can do. Works exceptionally in externally wicked coils too. I'm gonna have to go ahead and order some of that as my pile is getting small.

That's alright well keep it our secret. Glad you jumped in, I've been enjoying it for a while, now you see what I'm talking about. The haters can continue with thier business. Finally someone wasn't scared off by the boogie man. :)

On an aside-
Soon some one like rip will pick up on it and put it out there, then people will try it and be all around talking about this great Idea they got from whoever. It will be known in the community as thier idea; possibly even named after that person... All I'm saying is hey give props to the innovators. (There's a certain video maker that I have an issue with concerning this same Scenerio)

Cause the stuff may kill ya, might be a reason, but hell, who knows, you folks do know Rayon is man made, don't ya?..

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger right.... Well maybe not, but due to the fact that I'm an innovator in the field, and on an official conquest in search of the ultimate vape, I'm going to say I'm obligated to check it out..if I die you can have my nemi, I want to be buried with my bottom feeder.

Cotton & Hemp are natural fibers, not man made

Well I personally read the GC-MS, HPLC, and GC-FID analysis that shows it to be considered a natural botanical fiber. I do plan on conducting my on analysis by a third party lab.

Once again people banging away on a keyboard when they have no clue about the subject at hand.

Thanks for your support. 100 likes... Yeah they actually almost scared me off it but I proved the naysayers wrong, to myself, in my research and trials with it. In Every category i found rayon reins supreme.

Bob this is not a personal attack at you, and I understand your trying to be helpful.. And even look out for us, But...

What does that have to do with anything. Man made doesn't mean its dangerous at all. Just a Purist blanket statement. The end product is pure. Cotton has plenty of chemicals used in its growing. You nic base is man made and stripped with even heavier chemicals that can not just be easily washed off.

Your welcome to continue with you wick of choice I would have rather kept this my little incredible secret. But I choose to share with others so they can experience this great vape. I'm pretty confident that lyocell rayon would prove to be on of the safest wicks you can use.

Anyone knew how much 2oz is? More or less than a handful?

It's a lot man this stuff is light as air. 6 months worth easily

the processed hemp cotton and ramie are all almost as man made as rayon, rayon is made from wood pulp, from a tree, which is pretty natural in a way I'd say :) sure it's manipulated and played with more, but then again we aint chewing tobacco leaves her either :)

100likes, thanks..

Link to source?

* to this date I have only used rayon from the spring valley meletonin bottle.** Burn test same as cotton, smells like paper burning. You would need to test it to make sure they haven't changed the filler. This is a source that won't Be sold out and you can give it a try till lyocell/ tencel is available again.

All my research and use has been with this traditional rayon. It is fine and works great. The lyocell is manufacture with no harmful chemicals so it *completely* dispels any myths around the dangers of rayon. ( even though there really isn't anything wrong with traditional rayon.)

NOT an attack or reply to anyone but

I personally do not give a rat's ... about whether a material is man made or natural. It's just completely irrelevant to whether it's safe or not. All that matters is whether the final product has remnants of toxin or harmful chemicals, or has inherent properties that make it unsafe.

What use is an all natural material if it scorches and burns easily to produce carcinogenic residues?
On the flip side, why should we discredit a material just because it's man-made, IF the product is free of harmful residues..?

In any case coming from a guy who's smoked cancer sticks containing 5000 different carcinogenic chemicals, I'm stoked about trying out rayon or any reasonable wick.

I am with you, inotfat. Half of the vape game is experimentation. The other half is modification. Somewhere in the mix you end up quitting smoking. Just ordered some tencel top, excited to put it to the test.

EDIT: Went to the medicine cabinet and sure enough, I have the SV Melatonin as well. Pulled some of the rayon, gave a pinch the burn test, smelled burnt paper. Immediately rolled a wick and put it in my dripper. Noticed it does seem to wick faster than cotton, and I am indeed getting amazing flavor. Subbed to this thread, interested to follow the discussion.

Welcome guys. Good points.

Yes this is pretty much experimental right now. We don't know 100% either way. But by the flavor and taste of dry hits I'm not sensing any chemicals at all. I've used it quite a bit. If I find any potential dangers with this product I will let it be known.

Part of the reson I started this thread was to determine how safe this was and how other people do with it. One thing I noticed was some different feeling in my throat initially which I believe was only from a super saturated wick & coil.

I have some questions out to some experts on the product. To see what they think of this use and any potential hazards we should be aware of.

One warning on the rayon, it transfers the liquid very fast and after the first hint of a dry hit the wick is essentially drying out And it will go complete dry hit very fast. Tastes like burning paper, if you full lung hit it dry it's not pleasnt but neither is cotton.

I know the dry hit all too well, but I've become far more sensitive after dripping for so long to know when I'm getting there. Rare for it to happen to me anymore.

I have to say, this rayon out of the medicine bottle is great to work with. The long fibers, no lumps, very easy to get a consistent thickness and a nice looking wick. Of course, the important thing is how safe it could be, but besides getting more flavor (!) than cotton, it seems to leave no residual taste. I'm so used to cotton, and can't stand the taste of silica anymore, and the rayon does not seem to be lending ANYTHING to the flavor. If the tencel I ordered stands up as well, I may switch fully.

I know, super easy and far less finicky than other wicking materials. you'd think if it had chemicals you wouldn't get such a clean, pure taste from your juice. After using this, all other wicks typically seem to lend an off taste to the juice. Unless you've got the other wicks set just absolutely perfect.

Oh wanted to add - you guys that got the half pound may have to pay some forward to others if it goes out of stock for a while. A good amount can be mailed in a plain envelope for the cost of a stamp. Just saying if it comes to that. That's how I got my sample of hemp and it was a lot that fit in it flat with one stamp.
