I’ve never used Rayon, and was always afraid of anything that wasn’t cotton. Seeing as though I’m a Rayon n00b here, what IS the deal with it ??

rayon > cotton. wick it tighter than you think you should and thin the tails a lot depending on the tank. lasts longer, better flavor, etc. I go 100 - 200 ml between re-wicks with rayon. there is a big thread about it on ECF.

Hmmmm interesting, I had always been told, NO to anything other than cotton, but now you have me curious. No chemical issues, or burning or anything ??
Haven’t been to ECF in a bit, may have to check that out, thank you.

Probably the most informative source. We also have a thread here
People also use hemp, silica, other stuff. The longevity and wicking ability of rayon can’t really be beat. And you can get a lifetime supply from Sally’s.
I use both rayon and Muji cotton pads. Less break in with the pads but you have to rewick more often.
Shot me a PM and I will send you some rayon if you would like to try it. And I will help you anyway I can on learning how to use it. It’s quite a bit different from wicking with cotton.

no, it is 100% rayon that you want so no chemicals. i vape tc so chance of burning (if you don’t vape in tc mode you should). no issues except trying to remember when you last wicked/coiled which tank so I use google keep for that.

Hmmmmm, ok, good write up on ECF. Now if I’m reading that right, I have to UN-learn all my wicked cotton wicking ways, and learn the NEW way ??
Reading that’s it’s the opposite of cotton, wherein cotton expands, but Rayon shrinks, so you have to really pack it in the coil, but thin thin thin the tails down ??
Anyone have any leads on good quality Rayon ?? Outta my element here.

yes that is what i bought last year to try it for a few bucks cheaper. I probably still have half the box left. you can get a 3 pound box (500 or 900 feet, i forget) from a local sally’s for under $20 if in the us.

Shit! thanks fellas! i thought rayon was only used in those old school tanks with the strings hanging from the top. I burn the cotton in my goon rda almost every other day from letting it run low. this is awesome info. i just ordered the 3lb box from sally’s.

Rayon to me holds more liquid, never turns mushy, tastes clean, is cheap and I’ll send some if you want. Or buy a box from your local beauty supply store. It will last longer than you.

I run my goons (and all my tanks) with rayon + SS wire in TC mode. No dry hits and no burnt wicks.

I’ve been considering using ss for tc. currently using kanthal. got a bunch off eBay from seller called “no ship”. he has ss also. really cheap. he sells 1500ft of mixed gauge for like $30. and ship’s same day. he’s out of Kentucky so i get item in 3days max.

hohm tech g2/slice mods can run kanthal in a tc like mode. I haven’t tried kanthal on my g2’s yet but they give a good ss tc vape (both my goon clones are on a g2 currently). The only bad thing about the g2 mods for me is the case quality: battery doors aren’t always flush, the battery straps can cause door wobble, and I had one magnet come off already that has to be stuck back on when I get the proper adhesive.

i use the alien currently. it’s pretty sturdy besides the paint, but it has glitches with the software. sometimes it doesn’t show it’s charging when screen is on (although it is) and sometimes when i charge it for a while it becomes unresponsive and i have to take batteries out and do a hard reset. works good though. was considering getting the wismec rx200 or dna200, but i can buy 3 rx200’s for the price of the dna. idk if the dna is really That much better to go spending the extra dough.
You are in the Casino and now you can’t find the door. You’ve been attracted to the shiny metal objects and there is no escape.

I have 2 rx200s and a rx2/3 in daily rotation and I like the SS TC vape off them. I tried loading the arctic fox firmware on them and the vape sucked compared to the stock firmware out of the box and I didn’t feel like having to tweak stuff in the NF Toolbox to get a good vape so I put the latest stock firmware back on them.
