how do you know Robin??? do tell...With the pads, make sure you cut them along the grain instead of against the grain. If it becomes dust when you try to roll it, you did it wrong. Ask me how I know

Thankfully after 44yrs of smoking my tastebuds are shot and I can't tell the difference between drug store bought cotton and organic, non-GMO, conflict free, free range cotton picked by virgins.

I remember a similar discussion a few years back when people were using fireplace insulation (basically fiber glass), and the general consensus was, If its wet it will be no problem. I agree with you though, although another reason I am looking for a better solution is because the pads I have seen seem to be too compacted.
Hey I can't even catch a fish let alone a red headed mermaid! I know exactly what you meant by wet T-shirt Taste!ehhhh go with Rayon... no pesticides no bleach, no peroxide, wicks better, not expensive, no wet T-shirt taste.....
but if you want the ultimate in wicking.... natural sea sponge picked by red headed mermaids during the high tide and full moon in August on the north shore of Hawaii.... really rare stuff.... very hard to find and extremely expensive....
Where is a good online source for rayon?
I would like to give rayon a try.

Haha, I would just like to find a suitable fiber that is not pre compacted and it would be bonus if the fibers were going the same direction.
IMO them first few hits taste awful no matter what you use, I just puff and don’t inhale for the first 10 hits.
I've been using some generic bag of regular cotton balls from Harris teeter since February and I feel no different than when I was using my protank 2 with silica.... If regular cotton isn't safe to vape, I'd hypothesize itd take years to notice negative effects. Let's ban regular cotton because we simply don't know....
Ah, I bet it was Silica or something real similar that we used a few years back?! Do you happen to know of a good source?
If I remember right I was ordering the stuff I used from Mcmaster Carr, and with shipping it was a little spendy. They are great for things you cant find elsewhere but definitely never a bargain. Thank you!
I agree! If we had all been smoking cotton rather than Tobacco+additives for all these years we would probably be no worse off! Of coarse the cotton companies would have probably started adding some addictive chemical...I've been using some generic bag of regular cotton balls from Harris teeter since February and I feel no different than when I was using my protank 2 with silica....

I just picked up some 2.5 and 3mm 'rope' from one of my juice vendors. It was pretty expensive for what it is but I wanted to play with it. Funny you should mention McMaster-Carr - I've thought about ordering a sheet from them. Might be more usable than the rope and actually the per-area of "wick" is less costly than the rope.
Sometimes I think the Silika haters were planted by the OEM's - cotton in some coil heads can burn VERY easily and the OEM's sell more atomizers that way.
Sally beauty supply. Graham Cellucotton is what it's called. Lifetime supply for $11.50 (500 ft). Several lifetimes (3lbs, approx. 900 ft) for $15. (+$6 shipping, or you can probably find a store locally.)
bleh, get a huge pack of organic cotton sheets straight from Japan off Amazon for 5.75 shipping included and call it years worth of wick
It works better than the name brands too!

Yeah, the last time I used silica, I was toking on a joye 510, lol. I will have to revisit the silica wick now that we have decent mods. I agree, the OEM plants are in every facet of industry!I just picked up some 2.5 and 3mm 'rope' from one of my juice vendors. It was pretty expensive for what it is but I wanted to play with it.

Thank you, I have read and heard good things about rayon, Im going to give it a shot as well.
And the lifetime supply of cotton pads are on there way too,lol.
Thanks, I have a Velocity RDA (clone) on its way from them, I ordered it Sept,19th and expect it will be here sometime around the end of Oct, lol. If the silica works out that is a good option for sure friend!
ETA: actually might be nice having specific dimensions, Im going to go ahead and order some, Im sure that would work great when Im on the road, thank you.
I am still kicking from the funky taste. When I got into rebuilding I stole cotton out of the glass jar in the bathroom for a couple months. Had a bad taste but it went away after a bit. Finally wife asked me where all her cotton balls went. I went to Walmart the next day and bought a bag of organic cotton balls and hid then in my drawer away from the wife. LOL
I feel your pain. I just got my KFL 'crash kit' parts that I ordered 9/17 in the mail yesterday (18 days).
Haha, reminds me , years ago my wife gave me a tylenol out of her purse, and that was the last time I ever complained about having a headache around her, perfumy...ick...
