I have no idea what to tell you, I know I personally get no off flavor from it like I do from the break in of cotton.

I just figure I’m weird with rayon, so be it… everyone’s different. I’ll still advise people to give it a try because a lot of people love it and swear by it.

has all of your rayon come from the same place? I just wonder if it wasn’t contaminated.
I have heard of people boiling there rayon to prep it, apparently you just toss a piece in and jet it boil for like five min and pull it out and press it dry. I don’t know how this works as I have never done it but it may help, worth a shot IMO.

Thanks for reminding me, i’ll give it a go 
(yes, all came from 1 place)

If memory serves you are in the U.K. So sourcing rayon is a PITA, I know all the rayon I found in the U.K. That’s not from eBay is a cotton blend, I wonder if there are any U.K. Members that can help you find a good source.
Well we can now get 100% rayon from cellucotton but it’s a bit more expensive than in the US. There should be other and cheaper sources if you’re looking for Viscose but it’s not an easy search (mostly refers to clothing). I’ll probably give it another go one day but it’ll have to wait for now.
I’ve got quite a big sample of hemp now thanks to therabidweasel (who’s on a quest to convert everyone here to hemp), so I think I’m going to give this a go first.

I’ve really enjoyed the Texas Tuff Wix as of late… I think you can only get it on eBay and the cost is very comparable to cotton bacon.

I have a sample of it and haven’t used it yet. From what I can tell it is very fine and similar to rayon. I may give it a try tonight.
I’m all for hemp I’ll try it if I come across it…;))
I just ordered some rayon yesterday should be in tomorrow how is the flavor with rayon
How brave are you? 
Have a read through everything you could possibly learn about rayon lol
This is THE rayon thread of all times, a full 751 pages long. Don’t think this is it. To keep it manageable they started a 2nd thread on it too 
Shouldn’t be that difficult, just PM @therabidweasel and he’ll help you get started.
Also check out his hemp tutorial on this forum.
I also use a MTL take it’s the aspire Nautilus 2 I tried to rebuild my coils there the bvc coils I used 26 gauge Kanthal but for some reason it has a weird kind of burnt cotton taste or something I’m using organic Japanese cotton sheetsUntreated I even torched the coil thinking there might be residue on it I kind of gave up on rebuilding them I did like 10 coils and they all came out with that weird tasteCould it be the cotton that I’m using I got it from my local vape shop

Definitely could be the cotton. I find cotton also has a foul taste when breaking in

For me personally, I noticed an immediate difference between rayon & cotton. My ADV had subtle flavor notes that I had never tasted before. Nic hit & throat hit were stronger too, so I have to lower my nic on some of my mixes.
YMMV of course, but for me it was a much more flavorful, so I’ve been using rayon in all my setups since.
@anon28032772 why would he have to be brave to try it? In the link you provided (which i read through most of it) they have debunked any ‘fear’ regarding rayon many times. The final rayon product which is what we use, has no residual toxins. Plus the rayon is a lot harder to scorch on a coil than cotton is. I haven’t had a dry hit since I made the switch.
Steve-o, I also forgot to mention, it’s all about HOW you wick with rayon. If you have any muted flavor or low vapor production, it usually means you put too much rayon, and is choking the coil.
