…really, don’t get me started.
I was at my local vape shop last week and some d00d wouldnt shut up about it. My local wont even carry it and they give away the cotton pads with a new RBA purchase. Just one of the many reasons i still buy some of my hardware and juice there, they care about the customer more than the benjamins.
I Have enough koh gen doh to last for 4 yrs at least.
they will come out with something new and we will all get tired of the jap cotton.
…that’s the nature of this hobby. In the mean time, koh gen do is my wick.
Shiseido & Cotton Labo ORGANIC Cotton
The Shiseido is really white, clean and very soft the cotton labo is organic, has little bits in it, but still very soft. I have not had a dry hit in a long time…
Complete opposite near me, it’s all about the benjamins… one of my local B&M sells six pieces of cotton for 6 bucks… I just feel sorry for the suckers buying it…
Me too plus the vendor sold me two packs and then tried to tell me he was only suppose sell me one, hey I did not know.so I have quit a bit.
Wow, that is just crazy! I was the one who introduced the owner of my local B&M to Shiseido pads, i wouldnt be able to keep my mouth shut were they to do something like that. i understand the need to make a profit, i have no problem paying a few bucks more for hardware to support local business but that is insane.
Getting dry hits with rayon is close to impossible and unlike cotton you can dry the wick to the last drop. Most probably you didn’t wick it correctly. Rayon should never be fluffy, it should be tightly packed. Every time I hear stories about dry hits and some horrors with rayon it turns out people are wicking it like cotton - it doesn’t work that way.
Once you get your wicking right, you will never get back to cotton.
I’m finding that “Puff” cotton to have a bit of a taste to it, even muting flavor…have you experienced this?
Bout to pull the trigger on some of that Shiseido from Nordstroms…hopefully that’s better.
Anybody have any other links to more bulk cotton good for vaping?
I’ve been using the Puff cotton since about March of this year; can’t say I’ve experienced odd tastes or muting of flavors. Perhaps, I’m just used to the nature of this cotton having used it, exclusively.
One day I’d like to try this guys cotton:

Probably can’t any more natural than his stuff.
I have tried the gamut, except for hemp and have settled with Cotton Bacon and now Cotton Bacon v2. I like the flavor it allows from my mixes and I can get it “on the fly” at any of my local brick and mortar stores for a decent price.
I never really seeked out a specific type of cotton. I have used cotton balls to organic japanese cotton. Today I ordered Cotton Bacon V2. I should of had more focus on a particular brand because some cotton I have used I could definitely taste it in my vape. Very good thread and a eye opener for me.
you will love the cotton bacon v2, i already know…
I have to agree with this myself. I have tried all kinds of cotton and recently Hemp and Cotton Bacon V2 is my preference as well. I purchase online as the local shops are double the price.
I have also looked at this and sounds like good stuff but have not bit the bullet on it yet maybe one day soon.
I’m trying to remember the ELR member that bought a sample pack from the Cotton Man, but the name escapes me.
It would be nice to hear from someone that has used it and if it is worth the cost. I re-wick a lot because most of the flavors I like trash coils with gunk rather fast.
I had ordered some Ko Jen Dough (I know, that’s not how you spell it) and the day it arrived, before the mail ran, I went to my favorite vape shop and picked up some Cotton Bacon V2 since I wasn’t sure when my Japanese cotton would arrive. Got home and wicked it…fell in love and the Japanese cotton is still unopened from the supplier. Once in a while when I wick with the CB I can taste it just for a hit or two, then it goes away. Mostly though I hardly taste anything and when I do it’s brief and very slight.
