Need Rayon tips

[rogue zombie]

I'm just not winning with Rayon in the IGO.
Flavour is similar to Jap cotton, but I can't get it wicking as well.

With Jap cotton, I find it works best using it sparingly. The cotton swells and all is good. Rayon doesn't seem to swell.

Is it the same with Rayon? Or should I lie the whole base with it?

Rayon actually contracts over time bud. It doesn't swell like cotton does.

When threading it through the wick be quite generous with it. And in your case perhaps add more to the base.

Hope this helps


Edit: I'm not feeling the word contracts. Let's just say it loses its volume. I think that's a better description for what happens.

Thank you.

I'm going to try with more then

Cool let us know how it goes!

Will do.

I know everyone here swears by the stuff, so I'm dying to get it down.

Yes, some say about one and a half times as much as cotton going through the coil. The volume in the rest of the atty does not matter much. It must squeak when pulling through the coil.

What resistance are you using it on? I find that rayon doesn't work well for me on very low builds but it works great over 0.4ohm.

Here is a nice ECF post in a thread now 999 pages long, which gives some good tips: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...avor-saturation-nic-hit-269.html#post13554450

Thanks gents.

Used quite a bit more this time and it seems to be wicking well

Oh nowhere near that - 1,3ohm. Don't have a subohm capable battery... Yet.

I'm finding I need to turn the power up more than with Jap cotton.

I'm getting a subohm bat, so will try much lower next week.

With rayon I found that the tighter it is in the coil the better

From personal experience I would say that more is definitely better in the case of rayon

I'm definitely getting better results with 28g over 30g, and at 0.8ohm.

So using more, at higher power and with lower guage seems to be the ticket.
