in 2015 I started using organic cotton pads from Shopper’s Drug Mart I got for like 8 bucks, I think I finished that bag in 2018… It’s cheap, but I go for the good stuff and if you order from Albert, get some BB Vapes brand juices and usually he throws in an extra bottle or two Cloud 9 Cotton – E-CIGARETTES.CA INC.
Here is what it looks like, it’s truly great and there’s virtually no waste if you cut right. Great break in time, longevity, etc. It’s really great stuff.
But the good thing about those pads is you can cut a strip when you find out the right amounth, peel the firm top and bottom layers. Hell, I’d sit there and cut equal strips off so I had a surplus in them that were just grab and go, generally they wear out in the middles faster than other cottons but it’s cheap and you can keep on rewicking every day or two.
