Received some Rayon this morning and have been vaping on it all day in a heron clone and original kayfun lite.
Not bad but not finding it gives more flavour than straight up cotton wool. Slightly less flavour for me, but I do know exactly how much cotton wool hits my vaping spot when wicking.
Will play around with it more tomorrow and try and find my sweet spot.

I try to mix at least one juice everyday so there is a constant flow coming from my cupboard. Like Pepperty my cupboard is full to bursting.

Must admit I did look at that MarkS . . . some Koolada and it would most likely be spot on. The only thing that stopped me, was the number of ingredients . . . one shot concentrates do seem the easier option, think I've got lazy with mixing. I made some of this up over a month ago and took it fishing with me last week. Never been a lover of chocolate vapes but this is the best I've tried yet. I did use CCW Peppermint instead of TPA though. When I was vaping it I thought you could quite easily call this mint choc chip. The menthol in such a small amount kind of acts as a koolada. I like it so much I made up another 20ml to steep after I got back from fishing.

I have a little dog that loves to lie down in the garden on his belly, just surveying the area is cat free while the birds are eating, he only drinks when he is really thirsty, cannot be persuaded. He refuses to come inside, loves the sun. He hates going out for his walks if it is raining even with his jacket on, his tail is down all the while we are out. He loves the wind in his face too. He has been in the garden most of today, he usually follows me around the house all day, he is a Yorkie x Papillon with a mind of his own. That would be the Terrier in him I used to look after an English Bull Terrier who would go out on my balcony and cook. Being south facing it gets so hot out there that it melts the tarmac. Apparently the neighbours 3 doors down could hear him panting, but being a stubborn terrier he'd refuse to move into the shade if you tried to shift him.

There have been warnings about giving dogs iced water etc when they are really hot. Which makes sense. Dogs don't need very cold or freezing water to drink Although rare there have been cases where iced water has caused bloat (gastric torsion) in dogs. So although it is unlikely to happen it is something to keep in mind, especially if you have older or deep chested dogs which are more susceptible to bloat.

Posted this before but with the temperatures rising thought I'd post it again.
If your dog suffers in the hot weather like mine does then here is a simple and effective tip to help them keep cool.
Soak a towel in cold water. Rinse out excess water. Place the towel in the bottom of your fridge for at least 1 hour.
Drape the towel over the dog when needed.
I also just place the towel on the floor and my dog lays down on it.
Simple and effective relief from the heat.

Tried that, still prefer the Kayfun. What else am I doing wrong or could it just be not everybody has the same preferences?

I have 2 Squapes (not reloaded) original and clone and although they are good (better than the Rose imo) I still prefer the Kayfun & Taifun. The ceramic cup breaking of it's own accord isn't an issue only experienced by myself. In fact this issue was why they originally had to sell spare cups because it happened to quite a few of the original purchasers. Just for the record I've had my Rose from the first list, so it's not like I've been playing around with it for 5 minutes. I find cotton wool gives more flavour than the the Rico cotton, in fact I get an funny taste when using Rico cotton that's not there with cotton wool. Also find silica has a weird taste now too after using cotton wool. In fairness I wasn't that big a fan of the Kayfun either as I found the vape from it very dry until I started using micro coils and cotton wool. Loving the Heron clone at the minute as well, another I'd rate above the Rose. What I am getting at is just because someone says this, that or the other is better does not make it so. Just because it is better for them does not mean it's better for everyone else. I've tried and tried to like the rose considering the money I paid for it and I wouldn't say it's a bad atty in the slightest but I would say I can buy just as good if not better for a lot less for my preferences. Cocomel on order for a comparison test. Edit to add: I do not disagree that different atties will make a juice taste different. There are loads of aspects that can effect juice flavour. Even something simple like changing a drip tip can increase or decrease flavour.

I find desert flavours seem to shine in the rose, the ceramic base really seems to bring out the flavours. Mine is set up with a single 3mm micro coil using .3 kanthal wrapped to 1.2ohms, for wick I'm using two lengths of rico fashion summer cotton lace Coil center is set about 1mm lower than the channels in the side of the ceramic so that the wick has to angle down very slightly which causes the juice to pool within the coil on this build. No other tank attie I've tried handles my cocomel better than this rose. Sounds like the same set up as me. .3 kanthal always between 1.2 - 1.4 ohms although I use cotton wool as I'm not a fan of Rico cotton either. Used dessert, fruits , aniseed and tobacco type juices and personally cannot tell the difference in experience. My fragile ceramic cup broke for no apparent reason and because I wasn't overly impressed with the rose didn't see the point in forking out £15 for a new one. Still use it without the cup and again cannot personally notice any significant difference with or without it. Just goes to show it's more horses for courses than type of juice or not setting it up properly imo.

Different atties handle different juices in different ways though. What specific type of juice should I use in my Rose for best performance? If you set a rose up correctly it blows a kayfun out of the water. How do I set up my Rose correctly?

just can't be bothered to go more then a few puffs before I swap. This has literally been the story of vaping for me for nearly all juices since day one. Which is why I mix my own. I've always got at least 3 mods on the go.
