found cheaper place to buy KohGneDo Organic Cotton

[johentie]

Hey fellow Canadian Vapers..

so i just started rebuilding and i like how the japanese cotton wicks etc.
I had a hard time finding a place to buy it cause it was sold out..
canvape has it for 22.95..although it's the 80 pad package..but shipping is $10

so i did a little googling and found SEPHORA the make up company sells it online.

it's $13 with like 8 dollar shipping .. arrived in less then 5 days.. these are the 60 pad packages

if you buy 2 packs it's obviously $26 with $8 shipping which is much cheaper! although if u need hardware or what not from canvape and they have the cotton in stock this would be the route to go.

just thought i'd share the info.. now i am all stocked up and vaping on me Lemo Drop waiting for my Youde Goblin

yay 100th post ; >

May be worth your time to see if Nordstroms still offers their free shipping when its going to Canada. Should be able to see if its still free by putting it in the cart i assume.

Koh Gen Do Pure Cotton Pads | Nordstrom

is it better/safer than unbleached muji cotton?

Not really familiar with the Muji, but i assume KGD is generally more popular due to the fact that it is not only unbleached, but also not treated with chemicals/fertilizers AT ALL, during the growing/manufacturing process.

Thanks. Sounds great, like real organic stuff...How does it wick? Any tricks to use?

BTW, shipping from Nordstrom to Canada is another $16. So total is $23 from Sephora vs $33 Nordstrom ... both are 60 pads...

It wicks better than anything i've previously used, definitely much better than regular generic cotton ball, only thing that wicks better, as far as ive read, is rayon and i personally won't use that.

How u use it will be personal preference. It has 2 thin, almost woven, outer sheets sandwiching very nice, long strand cotton in the center.

Some people leave on the thin outer sheets, cut a strip and roll a wick, i remove the outer sheets, use the inner part to make my wick, then roll the 2 tiny sheets together to make a flavor wick (using a single coil w/ top flavor wick build in my Veritas's)

Thank you johentie and xtwosm0kesx. Just placed the order.

Yeah, didn't really expect Nordstroms to ship to Canada for free, but worth a shot.

I'm honestly surprised they'll ship it free within the US, the margins already have to be pretty low.

U should enjoy it, judging by how much i've used so far (~2 pads, in couple months, including experimenting), a box of 60 should last a long time.

 

[johentie]

yes yes.. the KGD is really good.. i believe my subtank mini shipped with a pad of Muji and the KGD seems to be a bit better... although pretty much the same.
the only thing with the sephora order is that it comes in a box and no ziploc.. but not hard to find your own ziploc..

can't wait to get my Goblin!

I bought mine on eBay for under $14 USD straight from Japan. Literally took 1 week to arrive with free shipping, faster than shipping across Canada

A friend uses this and it does have some really good reviews. I love the KGD style cotton myself.

Good luck to you.

SHISEIDO ive been told is exactly like kgd.
they are both makeup companys that put their brand name on japanese cotton, just not sure if SHISEIDO is bleached or not.

 

[EdT586]

Muji is just as good. They have both a bleached and unbleached versions.
Don't pay more than $3.00CAD for 140 pads, plus Muji has a store in GTA !

Shiseido is sold locally and just as good as KGD

 

[Ren76]

The sheseido I bought on Friday said right on the package that it's tested to be free of all harmful chemicals. The vale shop I use sells the same stuff at $5 for 5 pads (ouch!), I grabbed some at sephora, it was $11 for 165 pads. I'm pretty sure shoppers sells it as well.

 

[vincom]

Most shoppers drug marts in the GTA area seem to sell shesido, but they are almost pure white so they've probably been bleached unlike kgd as its not bleached and kgd is organic, meaning no pesticides used

 

[martinc]

I use Muji too
