Thanks to @Rob Fisher , I got some Rayon at the Vape Meet.
Here are my initial impressions after about a tank of use in my REO Mini with VM Choc Mint, a juice I know very well.
Initial Rayon Impressions
- its good, but regarding the vape itself, I still prefer organic cotton slightly.
- I wicked it just like I did with cotton. It's a 1.5mm 1.3 ohm 28g coil, so nothing too hot or powerful
- the flavour is pretty much the same as cotton
- to me the throat hit feels a bit less. This is a negative for me.
- it feels to me that the draw is a bit tighter. As if its very slightly choking. Or if the cotton is airier than the Rayon. Not sure.
- I find that it doesn't vaporise as smoothly as cotton. A bit more spluttering going on. When I take off the driptip, there is more juice droplets at the base of the driptip than with cotton. Cotton seems to vaporise the juice crisper and more "cleanly" if that's the correct way of describing it. I found this spluttering got worse as the tank got toward the end.
- When it starts getting dry it "pops" and crackles a bit. This does not happen with cotton.
Despite these minor negatives, the vape is still good and the flavour is good. I have had no dry hits, but then again, I am quite a diligent squonker so I hardly have dry hits with organic cotton either. And this not a high power coil.
I will continue using it and see if it lasts longer. With organic cotton I tend to rewick after about 5ml of juice since I can observe a drop off in flavour. Lets see how long the flavour of Rayon lasts.
I still need to experiment with a bit more and a bit less Rayon in this coil
Please bear in mind that these are initial impressions. I will persevere and try it in a few different setups. Just wanted to jot down and share my initial thoughts.
