So rayon good and polyester bad?

If your going to use Rayon make sure it is free of Polyester. Polyester is commonly added to Rayon for strength. The Rayon most folks are using is a product from Graham (sp) called Cellucotton Rayon. It is 100% Rayon.

Thank you man!

if you're limited to walgreens/cvs/rite aid/etc, Cotton Balls will be it. Organic, non organic, personally I never used organics.

Peaches and Cream yarn works well too.

If youh ave a local vape shop, they usually (not always) may carry other materials such as Cellucotton (Rayon), Japanese Organic Cotton squares, Silica, Ekowool, etc.


As far as the best, it boils to preference. I find the easiest to wick is just good old cotton balls or even japanese cotton. I prefer Mesh wicking personally, I love the taste, concept, etc. I also am partial to silica too.

happy vaping

I prefer mesh and silica myself, changing out cotton and rayon wicks all the time got old real fast. I can quickly dry burn a coil wicked with mesh or silica, reload and I'm vaping again.

All should read this before using rayon to make your decision - caustic toxic chemicals are used to make it- of coarse i found this out after I used it liked it and ordered 500 feet

This has all been debated numerous times. The chemicals used to make something are not necessarily found in the finish product. Lots and lots of folks have looked into Rayon and are using it. If this concerns you don't use it and you probably shouldn't look up how nicotine is extracted or how pg and vg are made.
