It is known that Cotton is white so why Japanese cotton not?

[Mohamed Elhawary]

I have this question, natural cotton as known is white so why Japanese cotton looks that color?
there is a pharmacy which sell organic white color cotton (it's not about money but why this cotton cheaper than Japanese cotton) and is it good to use pharmacy cotton or not?
thanks in advanced

That cotton has been bleached.

Take it from someone who grew up in Texas with miles upon miles of cotton growing on the side of the road, real, organic cotton that is untreated by chemicals is off-white

After I juice up and vape my rda wicks dry the cotton is whiter than when it was in the pack new.

Wondering why this is

I used to go to the natural food store to get organic cotton. The last time I went to Walgreens, they had some there; works just fine. They're about $3/pack.

Evidently, there's money to be made off of Japanese cotton.

japapnes cotton is off white because it is raised on organic human wastes?

Early on I got a bag of Japanese organic cotton pads on Amazon for about $7 shipped directly from Japan and the shipping cost was included. I figure it's going to last me for years. What the heck, it might as well be from Japan.

I can't understand what the big deal is with this expensive Japanese cotton that is so popular now with folks that vape?

Japan is not even a cotton producing region of the world, however, they are a big [importer] of cotton from the US.

I am happy with good ol' American cotton that is grown, produced and sold by American companies right here in the US of A!

That's exactly what I was thinking. WTF?

Japan gets 80% of its cotton from India......

Try it and you'll probably like it. Look up pbusardo cotton test (not scientific and pretty ghetto). Cotton balls have the fibers all mixed but ... cotton pads are all alined. Up to you my experience I started with organic, went ..., not going back. You can get a huge pack muji for like 6 bucks.. it's not that expensive

For one thing, the Koh Gen Do organic Japanese cotton pads are all oriented in the same direction.

This makes for better wicking.

I've got some of those, the first organic cotton I tried, and for flavor, they're just as good as the japanese cotton pads. The only real advantage of the cotton pads is 1) they do wick better and faster so if you use thick juice, the cotton pads work better, and 2) they're faster and easier to get a wick from.

My Shiseido cotton pads are white; the KGD are off-white. I really prefer the Shiseido; to me they taste better, and they break in faster... and I think they cost less.

I had the same experience. There is also rayon which also has the fibers aligned if you buy the right type.

Coming back to natural cotton color, I never knew there was such a thing as naturally colored cotton. And this is nothing new. Thought to have originated in the Americas 5,000 years ago.

Who woulda thunk it

Did you not pay attention in history class? About 75 years ago the Japanese were all like "Hey America, we're gonna kick your ...!" and then they sucker punched us when we weren't looking. And America was all like "Dude! Oh no you didn't! You want to mess with America? I'm gonna box Hitlers ears in with my right hand while I give you the smack down with my left!" And the Japanese were all like "Ya, well bring it big boy." So we turned Tokyo into a fire storm and turned two other Japanese cities into irradiated apocalyptic wasteland and the Japanese were all like "Dude, we give! We give! Let us make you nice TV's! We're sorry!" Do you really think after the heat we rained down on them that their cotton would be white? No way baby, that's the USA aftermath still at work.

Sally salon coil cotton also has the fibers aligned. Under $4 for 45 feet.

ROFL!!!

My favorite bits: "I'm gonna box Hitlers ears in with my right hand while I give you the smack down with my left!" (are we the first in history to fight a war on 2 fronts... and WIN?) and of course "Let us make you nice TV's!" But don't forget about the great cameras!

I've heard good things might try when I get low on the Japanese.. 60 pads and I use like one-two month atm though

Maybe buying the gf a pv will speed use... Unfortunately she's firm that a vape isn't an Xmas present lol least she doesn't smoke
