OK guys, got my juices steeping now, I'll be going for 100ml+ in about 2 weeks time. FWIW I don't intend to change the wick out I have going now, so I may get there by the time these juices are ready

I agree, y'all are a great bunch and I enjoy this thread immensely.

I haven't commented much lately because I've been preoccupied with a little ménage à trois I have going. Rayon and I have brought in a third, Stainless Steel, and it's a beautiful thing. I think I'm in love. I'm not positive how they feel about me, but they are treating me right, so I can only assume it's reciprocal.

Which grade?

I'd take out a prenuptial anyway - just in case ...

304. I don't need the added molybdenum in 316 (which is added mostly for protection against corrosive salts) for any reason I can think of.

I can't imagine things going wrong. When Rayon gets all juicy and I stroke all the right buttons in just the right way, SS gets all hot and things get steamy if you know what I mean. Well, there is the issue of Delasco's balls occasionally needing some attention, but a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do. Love will find a way.

We should get a Rayonati ring to secretly identify the members among us...

Any takers for a 3d project?

Have the number of the page where you entered the thread engraved on the inside?

You want us to remember that FAR back?

Rayon + Stainless = Good

I'm now the proud owner of 500 feet of CC after a visit to the local Sally's. I think there is a learning curve, based on what I've read, to get to that "sweet spot". I am not into sub-ohm or RBAs at all so it may take some time to arrive at the best configuration. I rebuilt a PT head and a CE3, yeah I know "ancient" stuff, but they all work for me and a CE3 on an auto cig-a-like can't be beat for hands free operation. Both work acceptably well but not with the knock you down vapor/TH/flavor that has been reported with RBA stuff. I do think I might have gotten carried away with how much CC I used and will be cutting it down in my next attempt. Based on what I see, so far, I have enough CC to last me well into the next century and I have four ounces of Tencel on the way as well. One of the big side benefits is that there are no shards of silicon associated with CC, a big plus IMHO.

Your 1795 awesome.

Man looking at some posts on that page brings back some memories.

Can you believe all the stuff we went through to educate the world about rayon? Crazy man.

So, what am I....chopped liver?

Nope, your an early adopter and first to get delascos medical balls..

You entered the thread at post 234 ! Thanks for all your support.

I've been watching this thread from the beginning and would love to try rayon wicks. The tencel top looks a little strange and hard to manage. I've been searching for rayon balls, but mostly what I've found are large quantities of 4000 balls that cost $30 and up. I found one source of 1000 balls for $15 but they charge $10 for shipping. Can't win for losing.

Its been quite a ride!
All the ups and downs...
Wait was there ever a down.. I don't think so.. Just epic battles with the hive mind.

[Johntodd]

So do you guys twist your rayon wicks? I twist mine into a "twisty-roll" to thread them through the coils. Just wondering if I could be doing it better.

Spit-and-twist! What a combo! (But could it be better?)

Thanks!

I just went back to the beginning and looked, I chimed in at post 128. Deng!

Initial impression of rayon is it beats cotton at everything except juice retention which is both good and bad.

Just wanted to thank SteamHead for sending out a massive sample.

And on a funny note, soon as I opened the package my wife said (from 5 feet away) "You can get that at Sally's" without me telling her what it is or what it's for.

Here was my first experience. And I still stand by it also.

I'm still using the same sample @SteamHead sent to me 1yr 4mo ago

I bought some 430 28 gauge. 0.0084 resistivity...

Love the 28/430

I have it as 0.0074 ohm/mm by may be because my mandrel is smaller than I think.

Mandrel has nothing to do with it. I measured out 1 meter and read it with a multimeter. 8.5 Ohms. Divide by 1000 = .0085 Ohms per mm. I input that into Steam Engine's custom resistivity field and my coil calcs come out spot on.

It does because I'm doing it in reverse. I wrapped, measured on two devices, then entered my figures. If my mandrel isn't the size I believe it to be it throws a kink in the mix.

I would test with a multimeter but all I have is Harbor Freight junk.
