I love the rayon and KGD. Slight edge to the KGD because it is so easy to wick. If you are interested in trying it, someone i trust recommended this on Amazon. It is a very good price.

I don't think this one is KGD.

That is what I got. Someone was talking about it and I couldn't remember. I didn't realize I was getting that much though. Works well.
No it is not KGD. Mainly because it is less expensive. KGD is just a brand name. There are lots of other 100% Organic Cotton. I have not used this personally because I still have KGD but I know someone who has and I trust his recommendation. There are some pretty stellar reviews on this product at Amazon. (which I know you can't always go by their reviews). Sorry for the late night confusion.
Here is the setup I use on all my rebuildables... I use SS mesh to run thru the coil. I usually have about 1/4 inch tail then I take a small about 2 inch thin cotton strand that I run under and wrap over the SS mesh and tuck against the centerpost.
I've found that SS mesh is the only flavorless wick I've tried. I use the cotton the prevent the SS from shorting against the deck and the cotton wrapped around the SS feeds the wick. Most of my setups are around .25 ohm on a mechanical with triple twisted 24 guage (big boy 1/16 inch thick wire). So at around 100 watts I found that straight cotton would tend to scorched a bit in the coil and I couldn't chain vape with out having to wait for the cotton to recover and rejuice. But the SS mesh is the fastest wicking material and cotton have the best holding capacity.
On my Stillaire a have a quad bunny coil with 4 vertical SS mesh wicks. I simply place a bed of cotton on the deck and push the SS wicks into the cotton. Even at .12 ohms (like 125W) I still never get dry hits once I juice the wicks from the top. That rig kinda works like a genny soppping the overflow juice back up the wicks.
So just some food for thought that you can combine SS mesh and cotton for best of both worlds. The main reason I like the SS wicks is they last for months and simply pull the wicks, rinse with water. Dry burn the crud off the coils, reinsert the SS wicks into the coil(s), dry burn the water and residual juice from the wicks, then wrap fresh cotton onto the SS wicks. Tastes as fresh as can be after about 10 pulls and the cotton taste disappears.

I've tried a couple different wick materials now and here's what I have found,
Silica: wicks well, damn near impossible to scorch, can be dry burnt, ideal from dripping if your constantly changing flavours, pain in the ... to build with as you pretty much have to build your coils around the silica.
... cotton: wicks quickly, easy to re wick with, good flavour cheap as chips, good all rounder, gives you a warning taste before you scorch it.
Rayon: wicks super fast, pretty much the same for flavour as ... cotton, easy to work with and re wick, horrible if you get a dry hit. Also very cheap to buy
I use rayon on my rta's where I'm vaping one flavour all day and silica in my magma for testing my diy fluids
