When you get the tampon out of it's plastic you need to remove the thin paper cover, then start unfolding it .. once you've unfolded it and stretched out all the folds you will end up with a huge rectangle about 3" x 8" .. one tampon will make tons of wicks.

I'm vaping the same DIY juice that I've made and vaped for years and it has never tasted as good as it does with this KU, I'm tasting notes in my juice that I've never tasted before .. it's really fantastic.

I was going to pm you but didn't think you were serious about ordering that second.

Look at my previous post. Check the lable.

Google shopping search of different brands shows the full labeling of the product.
Oh I'm fast hitting the order button :)

I didn't get those fiberfreaks though. Out of stock and maybe it was a good thing.

You now... This is just a paranoia. I think I have enough rayon for two or three years... It's just the urge to know that even if something goes bad, I can walk into a supermarket and buy a box of tampons and be happy lol

Regarding the tidi balls... Don't know... The need to find something better? Sally is great but if the balls are better, why not? :)

Same reason I ordered titanium wire and 30g ni200... My 28g is working but if I can make it better... Why not? :)

Well I've learned to listen what Jeremy says, I'll be getting some and trying it this week. :)

Thank you sir.

If you've got rayon your OK. I'm not really saying you need to run out and get it. But you know.. Go ahead.:)

I just want people to have readily available good rayon to purchase locally everywhere.

Now there will probably be a KU shortage... Lol

Here's a pic of the box I bought, it cost $3.99 for 18 ... those
18 will make lots of wicks, will probably last me over one year.

We have a lot of brands here but no kotex as far as I know.

Just checked the Portuguese o. b. Site and they state the material is cotton and artificial silk...

Tampax says "mixture of absorbent fibers" seems more promising than o.b.

I also just can't resist the urge to see if I can make my vape better. :)

Lol.

I ll just buy some tampax evax tampons and check them out. It should be fairly easy to tell rayon from cotton apart I think

The tampax pearl in the us is labled.-
May contain, cotton, rayon, Polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, fibers.

Not good at all.

I'm translating thier site and there's something about a cotton-like which could be thier interpretation of rayon. Not Sure. Edit - no I don't think so.

Another thing could be that the list includes the outer wrap that could be made from synthetics but the core is rayon or a blend. Best to be safe and try to find a rayon only product.

Tony go to the international airport and stand near the womens bathroom. Ask American women if they can spare a tampon for your wife.

Lol, no I don't think were that desperate.

All the ingredients before the word fiber are the types of fiber. Everything After the word "fiber," is related to the string and applicator... You will have to study the label to make sure of how its worded. Some may be confusing. But Kotex u is clearly labeled. Heck they made the first tampons out of rayon.

OK this does seem silly, but everyone ran to Sally's beauty supply, so it can't be that bad.... I mean I know guys like to joke but this a real product for 50% of the population.

Here's the Ku after a day at 7v! All is well and normal, or excellent! Vaping like a boss!

Density now is spot on... Flavor is spot on after I removed a couple needle size strands of rayon.



My coils always turn black because of the high voltage, but gunks doesnt form.. This isn't 3.7v its 7v.
