Honestly, I have the opposite opinion. UPS and FedEx have given me tons of trouble. 9 out of 10 times, USPS does a good job in my experience (I used to work for a bookstore that shipped on average 10-20 items a day, so I've got a fair bit of experience). And given I live in the middle of nowhere, I'm overall impressed with them. UPS and FedEx have a tendency to move quickly but damage items and/or leave them in ridiculous places instead of bringing them to my door. This situation I'm dealing with falls on VapinArt though - they literally haven't shipped it and it's been 4 days
I have been an exclusive RxW user for over 2yrs now, (Feb '14), and I can't imagine ever using anything else... Once you set it up, its just a matter of maintaining it with weekly or bi-weekly dry burns. Mine are weekly because I vape 0mg.
I never have to worry about if I forgot to squonk and burned my cotton or rayon and having to replace it almost on the spot. Been there... Done that... Nothing like that with RxW, just squonk it and vape on. I have always looked for simplicity in vaping the same as in life in general, and it gets no simpler than RxW...
I just checked the date of the last time I recoiled and wicked my O-16's......4/27/16...... I am moving into my 7th month with the same coils and wicking!! How awesome is that?

I hear ya. Everybody's experiences are different with shipping. I agree though, I have had various issues with vendors not shipping right away. Some will print out a label, send an email with shipping notification, and then it will sit in the shop until somebody decides to go to the PO. VapeRev was noted for it, and they were authorized resellers for lots of European stuff. Maybe still are, I don't know. I haven't ordered from them in years.
I still have some 2 and 3mm RxW. Maybe I'll give it a try on one atty. If I remember right, isn't it supposed to go in semi tight? If I wrap 3mm coils, will it be too loose?

Lets not forget about Loki Labs!!! You would figure with 4 different Post Office locations within a mile of his shop, he would've picked a different one at some point to drop his packages off at since the one he did drop off at, they sat there for a week before they were shipped...
Yeah, shipping out of California has always been slow, especially stuff that goes through the LA hub.
I tried RxW a couple times, and one of the things I didn't like was that in a small atty like the RM2, and the Chalice, the wick ends are so short that they don't bend down towards the deck to soak up the juice unless you lay the coil right down on the deck.
It is not as pliable as I would like it to be and part of the reason I don't vape dual coils anymore in the O-16's I use. I used to run those like Sloth mentioned, pushed over to one side and at a downward angle to the deck. I have however found that in going to a Z-coil in them that it is easier to wick them with the coil being in the center of the atty.
I will say that there is a huge misconception that the RxW has to maintain its round intact shape to soak up juice efficiently. My tails are more or less fanned out the same as most fan out a cotton or rayon wick and wick just fine. Do keep in mind that unlike cotton or rayon, the RxW will only soak up what it can hold and will not keep any remaining juice from leaking from the atty before it is in need of soaking up more, hence the reason I am very particular in choosing an atty and why I am so vocal about how an atty drains.
It looks most often that cotton and rayon users have overstuffed decks in the thought that the more wicking I use, the more juice it will hold. Another misconception also... It will only hold so much also, but it does a more efficient job of blocking juice from getting up and out of most AFC's as well as from draining properly and completely also... It holds the juice back from draining into the bottle and sets on the deck and cooks at the same time you are vaping it. I don't get this problem with RxW.
Back to the RM2 and Chalice, if you go back through pics over in the Ville, you will see that the proper way to coil and wick them is at an angle to the feed/drain hole...
Where's the "ville"? I still have more to learn....for instance,I didn't know about angling the coil close to the feed hole! Tho a couple that I made did just that...and I used tweezers to adjust it straight
I love RxW and have used a lot of the slim stuff. I fold it over on itself 2x so I've got 3 strands and then free wrap around the strands, not too tight, you still gotta maintain the straw feature with the hollow core but tight enough so there's no hot spots on the wire. I find this much easier than trying to thread the wick through the coil. I'm down to my last few inches from 10 feet and I'm thinking of getting some of each size on my next order to switch it up some.
I've tried rayon a few times, and just don't like it as much as KGD. One day I will get some RxW to try.
that's absurd!So far, it's been 4 days since Orlando, and still no Hadaly. I live only about 50 miles from Orlando.
I hate USPS.
Also absurd! I'd be callin em
yeah I don't have much if any trouble with usps or with fed ex. it was UPS where I used to live that drove me out of my mind. I did papercrafting classes, and placed a lot of orders for stamp sets folks bout etc. UPS almost never had the same driver......and almost every time for 7 years I had to call the local hub to get my order delivered. Every manager down there knew my name! But none gave a crap enough to fix the problem. Here the only issue is them not ringing the doorbell, and not leaving it near the front door. I had a couple 50+ pound boxes that I had to lug and tug to get into the house. Not good with the shape I'm in.
Wow.........that's amazing!
I didn't know you could get the 3mm in a 2.5mm coil etc. Good to know.
pretty sure he meant the archived reoville forums.

It has a shrinking/expandable quality to it. The RxW needs to make contact with the coil to work efficiently, but not so much as to choke it off... You actually cut the end in a V shape and then screw it into the coil. Once you get it started it will go in quite easily. You can grab it after it makes it out the other side of the coil and pull it through as far as you need it at that point. Once it is through the coil it should slide back and forth the same as cotton or rayon does. If it doesn't slide, its in there too tight...
Ummm... is the "V" in it's normal upright position when you slide it thru the coil? It seems to me that it would catch on both sides while trying to slide it into the coil... so i'm supposing that it goes in " upside down"?
