Heyas peeps been testing rayon last few days and I am a confirmed convert. Have been running it in a kayfun lite using 3 different juices same bit of rayon so 3 x 4 mil tanks through it . First juice was custardy lovechild, Vapes it all wY till tank was dry. Washed tank out and rinsed the rayon and left to dry. Next up was a tank cracker so added the stainless mid section Redbeards green fairy . this time I couldn't see how much juice there was left so I just kept going and finally got a very slight semi dry hit. Tank was bone dry empty. Rayon was still remarkably clean so rinsed out and filled up with fluid. Just finished 4 mil of fluid and here is the rayon ( this is how it was after opening tank I haven't washed it). Sorry technical problem 1 second

Seems I may have to give in to the rayon seen so many good things about it lately I usually use cotton but sounding like this is far better. Love the pic of the fluid and green fairy they would make my tanks look pretty

JayJ I'm a bit of a rayonista, as you can probably tell This is how I coil them. First, rayon works BETTER with slightly wider coils, and thicker wire. .3 minimum. When you made the coil, visually measure out 3 times the coil width in rayon and peel away that amount, so it's straight. Then finger-tweeze the end to go through the coil. Feed it through. Once through, pull it gently in, till it JUST starts to pull the coil, that's plenty. If you're dual coiling, form an end from the free side, and do likewise. Then cut to the length of your RDA or RBA. If using a Kayfun, I don't recommend making a chimney, the extra wick will murder the air flow and result in burning. Once it's wicked up, juice it liberally, rayon is slow at first to absorb juice but soon fills up. Really make sure the rayon is totally juice full. Finish your atty and vape away

I am.using rayon in my dripper and it is great. But in my kanger heads I have done as above, soaked it and left it for a while and there is a definite horrible taste when I vape which does not go away. Amy ideas @davetherayon please?

The vape seems better apart from the strange taste. It is great in the dripper though!

Beware of using rayon with ANYTHING on your hands while wicking I had a horrible experience wicking after a very tasty curry. Everything tasted of onion lol

I use rayon in the kangers and only get a funny taste, kind of like a wet shirt is when I haven't primed it enough. It really does absorb well so prime count a few and prime again. I also tend to fire before reassembling or blow out the first vape without inhaling.
Geordie, it is similar to cotton but all straight fibres and a squeak is the only way I can describe it
