@Cutlass92 I still havenā€™t tried my Rayon out. I like how you spread it out before sizing it up.

Iā€™ll have to try itā€¦ but I recently found this and I LOVE it! Iā€™ve used Cotton Bacon and itā€™s ok, tried Japanese organic and I donā€™t like it at all, then while bwaiting for my bacon to get here I decided to try this and Wow! I really really like itā€¦ itā€™s hard to describe but it absorbs so much better and it kind fluffs out and you need less than you think. Great flavor, the bags are a little small but all 3- $10 free shipping and thatā€™s same as 2 CB maybe less but Iā€™d say 1 bag is equivalent to one bag of CB or real close so prices very comparable and it was shipped immediately. I donā€™t know how to do links yet, took me 4-5 months to find the fkn forum :weary::joy:ā€¦duh ikr? Iā€™m a dumbass sometimes :grimacing:ā€¦ anyway everyone knows how to get to eBay thatā€™s where I got it. Itā€™s called Texas Tuff Quick Wix, TexasTuff, Juicy Wixā€¦ says on pkg itā€™s high heat resistance, highly absorbing, sterilized and organicā€¦ IMG_0176|666x500`_

Alright so i got my Cellucotton rayon in the mail and the hairdresser neck-wool 100% viscose. And i can confirm they are the same thing. This makes it alot easier to find ā€œRayonā€ in europe.

Some translations
Dutch: Lontwatten, kapperswatten,strookwatten, salonwatten Nl example
French: coton mĆØche FR example
German: watteschnur DE example

I did some reading up on it and viscose seems to be a type of rayon. The ā€œoriginalā€ rayon was much more prone to burning than viscose so Iā€™m pretty sure ALL rayon that is used for vaping is Viscose Rayon.

Thx for the info and your probably right.

I just wanted to post in here since iā€™ve seen other eu vapors wanting to try out Rayon. But the only brand you see used is cellucotton and that is not easily available here. So i ordered some and what i thought was the same thing. Now after a week of side by side testing iā€™m sure i was right. So this should make it easier and cheaper for eu vapors to try it out if they want too.

There are actually quite a few but like you said, itā€™s not as easy to find it. Everybody (in the US) is always going on about CelluColtton and itā€™s difficult and expensive to ship a box over to Europe.
I once ordered from Finland (to UK), found a guy who sold some by the meter on ebay. I think I paid about 14ā‚¬ for it.

Found out itā€™s not really my thing though, I canā€™t get rid of the rayon flavor :smiley:

ATM Iā€™m waiting on a sample of hemp from therabidweasel to see how that goes and if it works, the quest begins again because I have no clue where to get that stuff in Europe lol

So how is rayon working out for you? Liking it?

seems to be okay maybe a little muted flavor.

For hemp you might try supplies for spinners (making wool). example

I get this too but if youā€™re reading up on it, rayon is supposed to give ā€œTHE BESTā€ flavor, very crisp and thatā€™s what I donā€™t get.
People say it probably has to do with the way Iā€™m wicking it but Iā€™ve tried to stuff it, just fill the coil, snip the tails, and so on. Every suggestion in the book and Iā€™m still getting it.
Iā€™ve tried a dozen times or so and just once I got it right, I have to say I was impressed but itā€™s not a result I can replicate. Iā€™m just using Koh Gen Doh right now. The flavorā€™s good but I find it scorches a little too fast so Iā€™m up to try new things.

Same as with rayon, people go on and on about hemp and how the flavor is so great and the wick seems to last longer than the coil. So I gotta give it a go right? :slight_smile:
