Do you cut off speckled cotton?

[ChelsB]

I have noticed all sorts of specs in

my Japanese organic cotton. I am wondering if I should cut around it or if it is OK to include in the wick?

 

[Joergl100]

It is ok...but: I usually remove the hard "decks"!

I leave em ... I challenge anyone to tell the difference in vape or taste, with or without.

Carefully peel off the "harder" exteriors of the sheets from both sides. Use the interior cotton to roll into your wick. That's the fluffy, absorbent part of the pad. Otherwise, use as is. If there's like a hard black lump that feels like a pea in the cotton, I'd pull it out before using the cotton to wick. But little blemishes like that? Nah.

Also, I didn't know I shouldn't use the part with the "skin". So double thanks!

Some people do, and some don't. I started doing that early when I found Scottish wicking which uses the fluffy inner stuff, and now do a sorta Scottish wick (not nearly as detailed in the pulling and fluffing) with the inner cotton and it works just fine.

No problem using the outer layers. In vaping Biker's wicking test removing the outer layers didn't have much of an effect. And I don't remove the speckles.

I leave the flecks in, unless I can feel them in cotton. Never had any funky taste by leaving them in that I could taste.

I have tried both the outer layers and peeling them off also. The outer layer can work really well when trying to wrap a vertical coil. But when i see those flecks my ocd kicks in and I try to remove them as best as I can. I just take a pair of ceramic tweezers to pluck them out. Or if my ocd really kicks in, then I will just use the cellucotton(rayon) as it has no flecks in it.

Yeah, I tried wrapping a vertical coil with rayon last night...no thank you! I'll stick with the cotton for those!

Nooo, I meant the outer layers of the Japanese cotton, not the rayon.

The Specks are Lucky. So Unless you want Unlucky wicking, I would Definitely leave them in.

Dunno about that Bridge? How much are you Asking for it?
