Rta wicking material

[RuiG]

I DIY, 70vg/30pg, like the sweet liquids and on my atties rayon lasts 3 or so days. I'm a heavy DL chain vaper.

Rayon for me has been better than cotton is every way, mainly on the wallet.

Would the 70/30 be ok for a MTL ?

your better off 50/50 mtl

@Missvapex You could try Prime Vapes and 88Vape both good vendors (both have discounts atm)

It'll be the juice gunking up the coil, no amount of super expensive cotton will magically make it work significantly better (although some might work a touch longer).... IMHO.

Might i suggest grabbing a second tank so you can alternate between the two, and not be hitting one as frequently. I hit mine pretty heavy (i can appreciate the frustration when builds don't last), and having two vapes to alternate between definitely helps, i can easily overdo it when i keep chugging on the vape, even with very forgiving juices.

Thinner juices will help to, if you can stick to 50/50 juices it'll wick faster and keep up with heavier use better.

That said, how's the wick in the middle when you're getting in there for a rebuild? If it's black and/or burnt looking in the middle, you might just be hitting it too often and not giving the wick enough time to soak up juice.

Thanks for the advice, about 7 times out of 10 it is black/burnt looking have had a few where I can see its bit dry I’ve only been using a rta just over a week so still learning and don’t always get the wick amount right but I’m getting there, really frustrating when I can tell it’s a good build I have done then about half a day later need to change it coz it’s burnt, I’ve got a 2nd mod that I’ve ordered haven’t decided on a 2nd tank yet but then I can have 2 on the go at the same time.

it’s hard to find a vendor of 50/50 in shortfills

I go through the same thing building mine, it's a pain and some juices seem to only make the problem worse. Have a couple of 50/50 shortfills steeping in the drawer at the moment, not 100% confident they'll taste all that special (seem nice enough tasting a drop on my hand though), but they're cheap (under a fiver) and thinner juices, so might hold up in the tanks that bit better.

EDIT: I appreciate the difficulty getting 50/50 shortfills to, but with 50/50 juices increasing in popularity for MTL these days, we should (or at least i'm hoping) start seeing more available in shortfills to. I didn't mention before, but realised it probably would have been helpful to mention, i grab my shortfills(and the 50/50 juices i mentioned) from Vape Potions currently, lots of really good value stuff up on there.
