Speaking of flavour generally…
With only 3-4 of the “organic Japanese” cotton pads I ordered from vapeking two years ago for the first RDA I bought left in that little snap lock bag they came in, I’ve switched to this and won’t be going back…
All the marketing bullshit about “proper vape cotton” with the constant chants to “only use organic!” can go fuck itself: the flavour with these cotton balls is cleaner than the beige ‘unbleached’ Japanese shit if anything; the fibers are the full length of the ball once it’s unrolled (around 15cm) and they’re so thick they shit on those ‘proper vape’ pads completely.
$4 for 200 cotton balls that unroll and wick as easily as the ‘proper vape cotton’ I’ve used, opposed to $4 for 4 shitty organic pads that taste like the goddamn underground bore water they’ve been ‘prepared’ in.
Available at any Coles and Woolies supermarkets plus a million other shops and without the psychosomatic/placebo effect of marketing influencing everyone’s tastebuds they would find there’s at worst NO notable difference between ordinary cotton balls and that gimmick we’ve all been headfucked into buying from ‘proper vape’ stores.
This post has taken on an edgier tone, simply because I spent a while googling cotton last night and was mystified by the sheer amount of stupidity I saw, with so many people simply parroting crap about how you gotta boil all cotton first and even more prevalent from all internet morons: "As long as it says it’s organic and unbleached on the pack", then noting that not a single one of these morons has any fucking clue how cotton is even made, let alone how loose and meaningless the word ‘organic’ is in products we buy every day.
How many times I had to read what could’ve been copy/pasted nonsense about bleech being in ‘ordinary’ cotton balls and no matter how many times they were corrected with the information that peroxide is a) not bleech and b) well and truly evap’ed off the cotton long before it’s even packaged, those morons still continued with the ‘they’re bleeched stay away from them!’ rubbish.
And sure, $1/pad isn’t much, but it’s a shitload more than $1/20 pads and the notion of having to wait for an order to reach you just to replenish your supply of marketing rubbish ‘vape cotton’ when you can simply throw a huge bag in your basket while out shopping and not even have to think about cotton supply again for 3 years at a stretch…
Wake up sheeple: ordinary 100% cotton is fine for vaping.
Stop listening to horseshit from self-appointed vape-lords - fools who only perpetuate the kind of comic elitist shit across the board - acting like they’re the Knights Templar of electronic fog machines and guardians of knowledge: as if we’re all apprentice brain-surgeons in training and require the masters approval to do anything differently - it would be silly if it weren’t so pathetic.

And that might’ve seemed to have come from nowhere, but it’s been accumulating with all the reading all over the net I’ve been doing and all the ridiculous gate-keeper posing I see all over the place that’s planted the seed of annoyance.
The fact that even I have been dumb enough to wait for an order with ‘proper cotton’ when I could’ve just been using supermarket cotton that costs 1% of the money and is instantly available to me - that annoys me too.
