Rayon Cellucotton Wicking Tutorial And Review

[RevnLucky7]

So for those who know, how's it looking.



I didn't go too tight and I could just barely pull it back and forth loosely. Was a good fit.

looks good to go

Well it's not cotton. It's definitely a mayor step up - cotton killer.
I don't get those hollow fur ball hits. Definitely on the juicier side. I would have to do a side by side
I do feel that it's cutting out a few notes though on the creams, but it's not much, will need to switch to a juice I'm very familiar with.

There is a taste to it. Certainly not tasteless, but it seems to be diminishing fast.
Wicking super fast.

First impression is good. I will certainly use this stuff.I'd like to see it perform in a kayfun at high wattage with a nano kit on it.
If it pulls it's weight here where I want it too I can make the trade offs. So far, I'm fairly sold.

For those of you using regulated mods the consensus seems to be that for rayon you need to go about 2 to 3 Watts higher in power for the same sweet spot.

I'm aiming a good 5 on this Kayfun build

Punched her up to 20W... the lower chiney on the Kayfun Nano allows for much warmer vapor since your that much lower to the coil so the extra wattage isn't needed. Seems to be wicking fine with the reduced vacuum chamber even at 20W... but I've settled on 14W.
Now I'll run her for a bit and see what happens after a few tanks. There's definitely a slight reduction in taste, but we're always trading off one thing for another. Also getting that feeling as if something is sitting on my chest all of a sudden. Might be a buzz coming on.

(I ran into a slight dry hit as I was writing... I think my "ears" to the base could have been longer)

Anyway... will report back in a week or so.

Good to read about your views @RevnLucky7
So for you, this is a comparison against Ekowool, right?

Right-o.

I have to tell you guys, it's very heavy on my chest. Feels like someone punched me right between the pecs.
This happened to anyone? I don't know if it's related to it, but happened just as I started using it.

Cotton and Rayon are for hardcore vapers Rev

 

[Silver]

Only kidding - pity about the chest impact there -
Give it a break and try again another time...

Will set it down for a bit and give it ago again later when I feel "normal".

Not for me so far and not on that long ECF thread that I can remember.

Take it easy

Might be age coming on.
Well I'll ride it for a while see what happens in the next week or so.

 

[RevnLucky7]

Yeah no... quick search lead to this....
Gave it a quick scan.

Always listen to your body. What is good for the goose might not be good for the gander.

He's no doctor, but looks like he knows more than I do:

The carbon disulphide emitted from Rayon fabric can cause nausea, headache, vomiting, chest and muscle pain

EDIT: Looks like a quote from here: http://www.biotecharticles.com/Toxicology-Article/Toxic-Fibers-and-Fabrics-699.html

There are long discussions and many documents on the ECF thread about the safety of rayon. Bottom line - it is as safe as can be. Various chemical processes used to make it, but the end product (rayon for pharmaceutical use) is safe. There should not be a trace of carbon disulphide on the product you received.

Yeah going over the thread now...
Liking the links to the safety data sheets.

Maybe I'm just the unlucky one.

Finally tried Rayon in Erica today... so far so good... as good as cotton for me which I do love! Now to see if it lasts better than cotton which it should!

Just remember to use a little less than you normally do with cotton, you won't believe how little rayon you need in the RM2.
Stuff is amazing.

Thanks@alex!

Have seen that you propagate less rayon than cotton. On that long ECF thread most advocate a little bit more rayon than cotton. And that has been my experience as well.
Trick is not to twist it get it through the coil, but to stretch it once you have taken hold of the little pointed start.
