I just want something that I can thread through a coil easily lol

How is the rayon to thread threw coils?

Tried taking a few pics-
I rolled it to thread it through - went through easy peasy. Then snipped it to fit and placed it in the chimney. Once i snipped it; it had the texture of a fine paint brush and looked like a paint brush when it was wet

That I'm not sure this is about 4 ft of what looks like a giant unrolled cotton ball; but, it doesn't feel like cotton. Somebody gave it to me to try because they had bought 50ft of it. They knew how often I was changing wicks and thought I should give this a try.

I been looking to buy another Caravela I have one but I want a SS with the brass fittings.

Mine is all stainless; it was a decently priced, impulse buy. I've been wanting a mech and was starting to look at some nice black and copper rigs; similar to the stingray, and the shop I was at had some REALLY SEXY LOOKING, mods that had a feaux patina on them. All my toppers are stainless though; they have to all match; otherwise my OCD would drive me nuts.
This is why I'm not allowed to go to cape shops. I can walk in and just buy juice, or supplies every I go I leave with a new toy; yet, I have a hard time hitting the "buy" button online.
I type all this while I'm playing with the new toy and getting the glare From my fiancé of course

Rayon is pretty nice. The Tencil version (different processing) is working great in my Taifun clone. It enhances the flavor, wicks well and it's inexpensive.
The Cellucotton Rayon I just boiled today so I don't know yet but it looks and feels just like cotton. Whereas the Tencil looks kinda like silk when dry... and silica when wet.

I have no clue what version I have it where I would get it. It was gifted to me. It sounds like the latter you described.
In a way of reminded me of strung fiberglass or strung sugar when dry. When wet it looked like an artists fine paintbrush. But it'll let me dry it with a cloth like silica.

Most people got the Cellucotton stuff that came in a huge box. I couldn't find it. Only the cotton version was at my Sally's. I did get it, and it is a good cotton. (cheap too.. only $2)
I was sent some samples of the Cellucotton Rayon... when it came in the mail, was it a long rope kind of thing? The Tencil I got looked like Barbie hair... lol. Just a spun out ball. I don't know.

Yeah it's similar to a rope but not braided. Kind of looked like a small intestine; or unrolled cotton ball maybe. But I can tell its a rayon just by the texture

No, someone had a bought a whole bunch of it; and, knew that I was changing my wick on every fill up. When they got this and realized it wouldn't fry like cotton they sent me some to try.
I didn't realize that so many versions of rayon were available.
Should have known better I always thought that cotton was cotton also.
