Hi, is there any way to source these locally?

Yay SA vapers yay! :)

I don't need help with build ideas I need confirmation that rayon isn't the bees knees which I think I've already got :P

Ahh..you really didn't need to do that! Thanks though :) for science right. So much for rayon's scorch resistance. I'm going to try some different builds.

28g 2mm 1.1Ω - so with a heat capacity of 16.25mJ/K (thanks Steam Engine) it's pretty fast ramp up. But still, that much scorching? Nah. Wick was always wet, no chain vaping. Oh well let's see if readyxwick will save the day. I normally use 27g or 26g but not on my RM2/Reo Mini. EDIT actually...

Mod on fire. I'm picturing it and it's not a happy thought.

So I gave it a try and I'm impressed. Quite crisp in terms of taste/feel. I thought rayon was more resistant to scorching than cotton but not in my experience: @shaunnadan any ideas?

Good info. Thanks. I have 2mm and 3mm, I'll adapt accordingly from your example though. How long do you torch the wick for? Both when prepping for first use and to clean between juices. I just have a bic lighter no fancy flame torch.

Original place. Used a forwarding mailbox. I'd lend you a few inches if you lived closer.

Are there any tricks to wicking with readyxwick, for people who are used to cotton, besides angling the coil at roughly 45 degrees and sliding something through it to get the hose action going? And letting the one tail touch the deck of course. No, I'm not a bot. Yes, I'm almost out of cotton.

Aha, thank you. So by the sound of it you yourself don't trim the width of the wick tail but just the length of it, like normal.

Are there any tricks to wicking with rayon, for people who are used to cotton, besides making it slightly thicker/fuller (zero air pockets)? I've seen lots of different techniques like trimming the tails to be half the width of the body that touches the inner coil etc etc. Is this necessary?

Nothing dark. Yep I wonder what percentage of the discolouration is due to caramelisation from the juice vs scorching from the heat of the coil. If you're talking about rxw, I tried it some months ago with angled coils etc but I couldn't enjoy it. I could give it another go.

I'm curious how other people's wicks look just before they replace them. This is mine after about 16ml. I'm still waiting for wickless vaping to become a thing. Can't handle this shit. I think I'm gonna go back to silica. Tips? Tricks? Unavoidable part of vaping?

Any way I can enter the competitions without being forced to socialise with other vapers, lol
