So it sounds like the KGD is, in fact, superior to the Shiseido.

Good to know!

Thanks for doing the leg-work!

couldnt get anything for a good price from amazon either .ca or .com to be shipped to canada

They have stock at the Muji store in GTA, they are $3.00/140.
If you want to buy from eBay, this seller sells direct from Japan and is awesome, super fast, awesome packaging and inexpensive shipping. Pick up two packs and $1.00 off shipping !

That is more than two packs for the price of one that you get with Fasttech.
When I received the package from that eBay seller, I was so impressed on how it was packaged for such a low value item. It came in a raspberry red PVC envelope and the packs were wrapped with additional foam padding(not that cotton would break !) with folded creased corners like you get with gift wrapping, it definitely had the feminine touch to it ! ...LoL

Thank you johentie and xtwosm0kesx. Just placed the order.

Quick update.
Ordered March 18 from Sephora, received March 25. Wicks great!

Do you find it has an off taste? I have some from Shoppers and it has an off taste after using KGD

From those photos, it looks like they are packaged only in a paper box without a plastic bag.
Although they might think it as a selling point that the plastic that comes in contact with the cotton is not organic, open air sources such as perfume and cosmetic fumes can embed itself into the cotton especially if you bought your box from a pharmacy which usually have these shelved near the cosmetics counter.

KGD at $0.50/pad is a bit overpriced IMO.

I have only tried with Kanger and Delta tanks, no off taste yet. Actually it looks/tastes same as muji. And, as muji, it wicks thicker juice better than my other "no name" white organic cotton. Now I am re-wicking drippers...we'll see...

KGD in action (cotton was trimmed of course):

Objective evidence that KangerTech uses Muji organic cotton in their coils - Watch at 20:30 !

 

[VictorC]

May be, when included. My subohm head came without any cotton wicks. No big deal, will rebuild. Still wondering what kind of wire Kanger is using...

Strange solder joints..

If talking about rBA then no wick installed.

As for coil the solder joints is to connect non resistance wire(nr) with resistance wire eg. kanthal, normal in prebuilt coils as to not melt insulator which is where the nr wire touches it.
