Australians have all kinds of reasons to fear spiders, though. Americans are lucky in that department.
Why is rayon especially good fore RDTAs? They seem like the unfussiest wickees around--are you telling me that rayon makes them even more accommodating?Rayon is good, especially for RDTA's. I've been shamefully using cotton (who's kidding, I have no shame) in bf rda's lately because it's easy to rewick and I have a bunch of it I need to use up. It's working just fine.
I like the spiders, they catch the buzzing flies
And there fun to wake up next to every once in a while
I recently watched the entirety of the Australian doc soap opera All Saints. More than one episode featured spider panic.
Rayon is consistently fluff-n-stuff.
Fluff it out, and then you should feel some tension pulling it through the coil.
Fluff the tails, trim to rough desired length, then stuff the fluffed tails into the rdta wicking holes. The fluffed tails should fully fill the holes, moderately snug
I don't have to guesstimate expansion like with cotton, leave extra space.

My (maternal, Broken Hill living grandmother) got bitten by a black widow spider and there wasn't much treatment then. She got mighty sick, but she did not die.
But, she was a tough old bird without A BIT of sweet streak. She really was absolutely hateful the running joke was, "If grandma BIT a black widow spider, IT would die."
She is not the kind of person who would knit a sac with "ball sac" on it (even non ironically) and post it as a joke, in fact, the idea of knitting would not occur to her and if she needed like, a place to put her shriveled balls, she would skin, tan, and hide an ACTUAL ball sack and shove it on the mantle. And you'd be like..... what is....that..... and you would back away in horror (whether you realized or not) and sometimes she'd say stuff like, "bring me that sac on the mantle there" and you would do it. Because there is tough and then there is TOUGH.
Also, there is MEAN and then there is MEAN. As she was approaching, oh I believe 93 something my mom decided to visit before she died.
This mother and daughter had not seen each other for probably I want to say 45-50 years? LOL.
The first words out of my grandmother's mouth were, "Cor, bimey you got fat, dinn ya?"
She babysat me and my older brother when we were infants. It was one of the few times where like, we had the exact same reaction: no grief, no happy thoughts, just a sort of, "Oofff, that's over then, I guess?"
It is also one of the few times I truly believed that what you did not remember as an infant could VERY MUCH hurt you. LOL.
I got bit by brown recluses twice on the face (one each cheek was hoping for dimples) but fortunately I figured out like, what was UP and what to do and did it FAST.
Then, I bought my first can of RAID,. Vat. Whatever. You can't trust the job to anyone but YOU not in AZ you can't.
I lived in Aus for 3 years in Sydney riding out in the bush and everything. It was totes fine.

The thing is, I'm much more likely to be contented with a mod than even two pairs of shoes (I have tricky feet).Thank you, got 3
I could get 2 pairs of shoes for the price of one of these....this is what rolls through my head anytime I consider a stabwood
On the other hand, I've found a site where I could get a decent pair of bespoke shoes for the same price as a Vicious Ant stab . . .
Hmm . . . I've got some thinking to do.
Hope everything worked out well for you, EskieThanks Mel....it's been a hard few weeks but there is light at the end of the tunnel.....hugs
Were it not for the obstacle of getting to the PO to ship her to you, I'd send you my OG Brunhilde, @Daniel Forsyth. Without even trying, I know she's too much woman for me.
Thx, I just looked but you have to login to get the price. They're having a 20% off sale now anyway. Last time I tried to order from MFS they wouldn't ship to MA.
I tried to place a $29.98 order at VaporDNA and the cheapest shipping was $12.99! It was always around $7 for me. What the #@*& is happening? They said something about adding charges for mandatory signature at delivery per certain state regulations. Has anyone heard of this?

I love using rayon. I never have had any leaking issues in any RTA using it. It’s very forgiving. I’ve never used cotton but I see lots of people having so much trouble wicking with cotton I can’t help think that some of the problems may be avoided with rayon. @stols001 ’s advocacy for rayon was what caused me to use it when I started building 2 years ago. There’s a fantastic thread on using rayon somewhere. A quick search should find it. I can’t remember the exact name of the thread but it’s really informative for anyone thinking of trying it out or having difficulty wicking with cotton.

I was bitten by a brown recluse spider several summers ago. Ended up in the hospital with cellulitis. And omg it hurt and was soooooo itchy. My entire arm blew up to almost twice it’s regular size.
I didn’t think we even had those spiders in Massachusetts but yep they’ve made they’re way north.

Ive been sending my orders from vendors who won’t sell to mass residents to a friend in New Jersey who then ships to me. I’ll have to have a friend in a different state after May since NJ is going to have a flavored ejuice ban too.
Some vendors won’t ship orders unless the credit card address matches the shipping address now. Is stupid on their part because they’re losing sales on hardware at a time when the future of selling vape products may end in May.
I have found a few vendors still selling juice to MA residents which I’m surprised at. The attorney general just charged several vendors doing that last week.
I love my dot mod aio. The vapeshell rba is a must have though. It's slightly to restricted wide open otherwise. Defo get one imo
I’ve had a few orders that also required an adult signature for delivery as well but don’t recall the shipping charges going up. Tbh if I want something enough I just pay the charges unless it’s ridiculous.
I believe most online vendors will start requiring a signature on all their shipping as a way to try to eliminate underage purchases.
I also have a representative payee who controls my SSDI but it’s my sister so I get a healthy “allowance” after all my house bills and insurance are paid. It kinda sucks but left to my own devices I will not pay attention to my bills when I’m going through a depressive episode which can last for months so it’s probably for the best.
Thanks Charlie and you are so right I’m not dealing with cancer which I thank the gods for if there are any. But it is a constant pain every day all day & night. I’m just getting use to it I think along with my limp. Maybe it’ll go away still.
I have a very dear friend who has liver cancer and it’s a daily reminder of how fortunate I am. It puts my health problems into perspective yet he always is asking how I am and giving me such sympathy and support as I do for him. But it’s definitely not the same.
