Graham Cellucotton Box Numbers:
Box #s: 44060 (500 ft), 44043 (3 lbs = 900 ft), 44040 (1200 ft), 44130 (40 ft).
Trust me... it is SOOOOOo worth giving it a shot!! And check out the Rayon thread for all the tips and tricks on how to use it... it is not like cotton (you need more of it.. tighter inside the coil)
Rayon Wick: Better Flow, Flavor, Saturation and Nic Hit

I know what you mean... I've run into a few vapers in the wild with Evics and MVPs.... they flip when I pull out one of my mechs and turn a Houston parking lot into a San Francisco dock! LOL


Also, sorry to the OP for the threadjack! :oops:

I've yet to experiment with rayon. Any good sources for that stuff? I've just been using organic cotton. Cheap and abundant.

[edit] Bah! Kaezziel beat me to it. [/edit]

You can get it at Sally Beauty Supply either online or at a local B&M. There are 4 different boxes.

44130 - 40 feet
44060 - 500 feet
44043 - 3 lb box (900 feet)
44050 - 1200 feet

Just make sure it says 100% rayon on the box as the boxes that contain 100% cotton look identical.

It even comes with pictures :O

I'll keep an eye out for it. I hope it isn't some $10 per sq. ft. thing. I'm not that rich...
And btw, still waiting for pictures. :2cool:

LOL! No.... I got the 500' box, and if I remember correctly, it was less than $12.... that's several lifetime's worth!

I'm at work and gotta run for a few minutes, but I'll post a pic of how I cut my airholes when I get back.

Maybe I'll just get one of the few lifetimes' worth from you, and save myself the headache of having to deal with several lifetimes' worth of the stuff. ;)

I'll be waiting... :vapor:

Here is how I cut the airholes on my Tobh:

*edit*
It's kind of hard to make out without actually seeing it, but the hole is bigger on the right hand side and smaller on the left hand side...


Also.... man, I really need to clean that Tobh again.... just need to find that Tarn-X again..... :facepalm:

Yeah... I have not cut off the tabs yet, and thought that by shaping it that way I could still restrict it for flavor, or I could go all out for vapor production... it works out pretty decent.
I just drilled out the big side, then finished out the rest with a jeweler's file.
With it wide open, it sucks in so much air, it's almost like just taking a natural deep breath. :lol:

Also, you can't see it from the pic, but I drilled out the top hole where the drip tip fits in and added a counter-sink... otherwise, the Cherry Vapes tip sticks up quite a bit... now it sits flush with the top of the cap.

I wish I had fancy tools like you. I just took a dremel with a grinding disc attachment and went to town, first combining the three holes into a slot, then deciding it wasn't enough and making it wider and taller. I've come to the point where any more airflow will move sheer mass and lose velocity, and without velocity, I'd lose some cloud density. I now have to decide whether I want to go back to 0.09 ohms and risk my life or buy another tobh clone for more top caps to experiment with. ;)

LOL! I've been having the same thought (getting more Tobhs). Honestly, I really liked it as it was before I cut it... just couldn't resist making it "better". After hearing all the hype about the Magma though, I may pick up one of those instead... in copper, of course!

I don't really have a lot of fancy tools... just a drill and some small jeweler's files is all I needed on my top cap (copper is soft and easy to work with). Some day I'll get the milling machine that I've been lusting after... then S*** is gonna get REAL! :D

The wrath of the gods of cloudchasing must be upon us. The desire for bigger, denser, fuller clouds has led us to hacking up countless top caps in the search for perfection. I hope G.A.S. (gear acquisition syndrome) doesn't get a hold of me soon. I still have a plume veil clone sitting off in the wings, still being heavily experimented on but otherwise still unusable, as well as a CCI-inspired abomination of a chimbus that hasn't been used in several months.
The Mutation X sounds like a good solution to my problems so far... :evil:

I've got a UD Gladiator (26650 mod) with a 29mm Tobh and a 29mm Perseus (genesis atty).
Then I've got the Knight mod with the copper Tobh that I posted earlier and an old Tesla (VV-VW) with an Orchid and a Phiniac carto-tank.... I use them all.
The only authentics are the Gladiator and the Tesla... everything else is clone for now... but I want the Vape Smith Knight in kevlar... may be a good Christmas present for me! :D
