Yes, indeed it is.

Every single problem I've ever had with receiving an order, from anywhere in the world including China, has been with USPS.

I actually feel sorry for the vendors sometimes. They're not perfect and they can have problems too, but for the most part they receive our orders, send them out, their shippers get them over here and then the drama starts when USPS gets their hands on it.

Then we go wailing to the vendors about "WHERE"S MY PACKAGE" when they've done their job. What other business is there where the only party who is actually at fault bears none of the responsibility? USPS loses it and then sends us to the vendor, who has done nothing wrong, to eat the loss.

I have personal firsthand experience with this. My local PO scans it in never to be heard from again and then tells me.. "oops, sorry abut that, maybe the shipper will send you another one."


Who else can get away with that?

I’ve been so lucky with the USPS. The only stinker was last Friday when I was left a slip that a package needed signature confirmation and no one was home. I actually was home about 25’ from the door. The doorbell is funky but they didn’t try hard. I have a front door or try knocking.

Not the same on a foreman/pan but kudos none the less.
Grill pan, thank you.

Thought about a grill last year, really just never got around to it. Maybe this year.

That's the stuff, easy to work with just keep in mind that Rayon is NOT cotton and has to be wicked differently. What would never work with cotton works perfectly with Rayon (tight in the coil, so tight that it squeaks and tails that are thinned out 50% or more depending on the atty). Rayon has a learning curve and most fail with it as they try and use it like cotton.

Good luck with it and don't give up if you fail wicking with it at first, coil density is the key and that takes trial and error to get right. Ask any questions you have and also check the Rayon Wick thread for great info.

If you have any friends in Germany, dm Viskose balls are awesome as well, 100% Rayon but a little harder to work with as you have to unroll them and fold them over to get decent density. Worth it though as I find them an improvement over the Sally's (Cellucotton).

Thanks for that mate.
What is the reason why the tails must be trimmed? I don't like trimming, so if I can get away with it, I would prefer not to...?
Stiffness isn't a problem...as I said I wick stiff anyway. Should I go even more stiff with the Rayon? It feels like it compresses more than cotton...?

I will say that one of my favorite RDAs is the TM24 PRO. I have 2 of them. Pigs was kind enough to give me one of them that I use every day at work. Today I was looking through some stuff and came across my TM30 that I forgot about. I through in some Killer coils and some fresh rayon wicking. I put it on top of the Fossil box mod and juiced it up with some Grapeberry Ice ejuice. The forecast today has been cloudy with lots of flavor. It's been a good day. DRIP IT & RIP IT!
