Musta missed something... I don't get it but do your ceramic tweezers chip away after use? I'm having problems like below View attachment 368942
And the Hakko cutters aren't very durable huh
Wow...I have never had that issue with the tweezers. They are a little bit darkened at the ends from when I was torching my coils before installing but I don't do that anymore since I learned how to tension wrap coils. As far as the wire cutters go, I've only used them with 28 gauge and they seem to be in excellent condition. I'll check em out tonight when I upload a pic of the Labo pads.
I think what's happening is that when they go from hot to cool they chip away slowly.... I saw youtubes twisted420 was working with a set that looked worse than either of mine?? Dunno is there a better quality ceramic.? I bought mine from VAPOR DNA

It appears that there are. If you google ceramic tipped tweezers, multiple search results pop up with price tags of $100 or more. So I'm assuming you kind of get what you pay for. Can't see myself paying that much for some tweezers though.

No cover but if you think you can damage them by just leaving them in a box of stuff..... Not gonna happen. I tried clipping one side to be even with the other that had chipped..... using the hakkos/wire cutters and I created sparks.
Didn't even come with a cover... Where did you purchase your's and how much?

Shiseido from Amazon works great for me
Re-wicked 3 drippers and really enjoying it
Since I use macro coils (7/64) a quick snip of equal diameter (whole pad) fits perfect into each coil
Almost no twisting except to get the beginning threaded
Not a dry hit and its clean from hit one
Really absorbs nicely

Ok so as promised here are three pictures of a single Labo pad. I purchased the medium sized ones and used a quarter for size comparison. This is by far the best wicking material I have used.
Yours are rounded off mine were like needles at the very tip, very sharp ...... I'm going to be looking for the replacement ceramic tips..... ROUNDED
I actually have both. The pointed ones are still in good shape too, but I tend to use the rounded ones for coil squeezing as they fit better.
For those looking to get ahold of Organic Japanese Cotton, I found these at Rite-Aid today:
Note the "Made in Japan"
They're about $6 for 60 pads. They work incredibly well, for me at least. Easy to cut and wick great, best flavor I've ever had with my Kayfun and Magma.
It may be hard to read in the pic, but they're organic, unbleached, and crimped around the edge. The crimping makes for a really easy insertion into my coils, snip off the ends, and done.

I have a Rite Aid a few miles from the house, I may have to pick up a bag just because...
How can we make sure that these claims are true - certified organic?
I'll just say that there have been a LOT of "entrepreneurs" that realized they could double their profits by slapping an "Organic" label on their products.
Well i found it! Koh Gen Do! It is the exact same stuff! Different name, Much more for much less! Paid 15 shipped from Amazon, 200 pads and got it in 2 days!
Its hard to tell what your buying with all this "Japanese Cotton" out there lately. After reading a bunch of reviews and google links i decided to order this stuff. I received it and couldnt believe i waited this long. Now i can go crazy with my wicks and not be worried about having to hunt down the stuff for awhile.
Now if this stuff becomes hard to get, Screw it i am going back to cotton balls! lmao

That's not the koh gen do but it is japanese cotton...... I personally like the koh gen do brand.... But to each their own...... It is hard to get, for the time being..... But you got some... You're good to go. that's alot of wicking... You could change it out everyday for a few years and still have a good supply.
