Think twice before vaping with this ''wood'' based material.Its made using acids and other good stuff.

A common method used in bleaching rayon, elemental chlorine-free bleaching, can still pose a dioxin risk because of the use of chlorine dioxide (the bleaching agent). In theory, these elemental chlorine-free processes can generate dioxins at very low levels, even though the process is considered "dioxin free."


From Pulp To Rayon
To create the fiber, the cellulose has to be put through a series of chemical and physical procedures.
First, the cellulose is dissolved in sodium hydroxide (also know as caustic soda) then the solution is pressed between rollers to remove excess liquid. The pressed sheets are crumbled or shredded to produce what is known as “white crumb.”
The white crumb is aged by exposing it to oxygen, then mixed with carbon disulfide in vats under a controlled temperature – usually around 20 to 30°C. This changes the chemical makeup of the cellulose mixture and results in a product called cellulose xanathate, or “yellow crumb.”
The yellow crumb is dissolved in a caustic solution and forms yet another product called “viscose” because of its very high resistance to force – or – viscosity.
The viscose is set to stand for a period of time to “ripen,” allowing the cellulose to regenerate when it’s finally formed into a filament.
After it is ripened, the viscose is filtered to remove any un-dissolved particles, degassed to remove any bubbles of air and put through a spinneret – a multi-pored device that forms numerous individual filaments.
As the viscose exits the spinneret, it lands in a bath of sulfuric acid resulting in the formation of rayon filaments. The rayon filaments are then stretched to straighten out the fibers, washed to remove any residue chemicals and cut into spools and – depending on the client’s wishes – dyed.

(LYE)-Sodium hydroxide soak solution is used as a powerful degreaser on stainless and glass bakeware. It is also a common ingredient in oven cleaners.


Ill get right on this,i wouldnt vape this stuff in a million years.

Rayon is a fiber produced from recycled wood pulp or bamboo cellulose processed by a combination of many chemicals involving carbon disulphide, sulfuric acid, ammonia, acetone and caustic soda to bear regular washing and constant wearing. The carbon disulphide emitted from Rayon fabric can cause nausea, headache, vomiting, chest and muscle pain and insomnia as well as the toxins released from Rayon can also occasion tissue necrosis, anorexia and Parkinson’s disease for people who regularly wear clothing made of it. It is evident that Rayon is a hazardous fabric for people, but its chemicals disposed in the factory effluents can also affect the Eco-system by polluting the water, decreasing the plant’s growth and shortening animals’ life.

Ok, I watched the 1949 video on Rayon manufacturing. But that was 1949! I'm sure the engineering and manufacturing of Rayon has changed in the past 65 years.

IF CelluCotton (Rayon) is made with all these chemicals, wouldn't you taste it?? Wouldn't the juice taste like crap?
Many are experiencing complete irony. CelluCotton is giving better flavor and taste; nic hit; and better throat hit. CelluCotton has become the choice of vaping material... basically overnight.

Have you even read the rayon thread? Everything you need to know is there and there no reason not to post this there, where you can get a response that pertains to your concern. JeremyR has posted a lot of information on the safety of rayon and its manufacturing process, and there are two types of manufacturing processes (which had you read the the thread you would know) and the rayon we are vaping with is made with a more eco friendly method and the final product has less, if any, harmful chemicals. I won't say its 100% safe but nothing is. Just do your homework guey

That video was the best, black and white and all....

Right after that I watched I love Lucy and Mayberry RFD. Only seemed right to watch three comedies in a row and I stuck with the black and white. If I am going to watch something old and outdated I should probably go all they way.

It would have been better if it was the 3 Stooges working in the rayon factory.
