Hearing Misinformation About Cotton From Vape Store Clerks
Thank you Sir. :) Honestly, ECF is (blessedly) very tame compared to other forums I've participated in, though some of the behavior patterns are similar. I've been working in the videogame business for almost two decades and discussions with gamers can be...painful. Vaping forums are generally...- RPadTV

Hearing Misinformation About Cotton From Vape Store Clerks
You are correct about the context. The customer was a silica user that asked the clerk why he should consider cotton. I do think your answer of "perfectly fine" is far different than saying that it's "totally safe -- much safer than silica." Bless you! You always were the smart one. :)...- RPadTV

Hearing Misinformation About Cotton From Vape Store Clerks
All-out war against cotton...a wicking material that I said I use and wrote that there are many reasons to choose. I provided support against the argument at cotton is "totally safe," but for whatever reason you don't care to acknowledge it. Again, I don't know that cotton is any safer or more...- RPadTV

Hearing Misinformation About Cotton From Vape Store Clerks
That would be meaningful if I said organic cotton was safer. I never said anything was safer than anything else. I'm not complaining or bashing anything. I never said cotton was safer or more dangerous than any other wicking material. What I did say is that nobody knows at this time. Did you...- RPadTV

Hearing Misinformation About Cotton From Vape Store Clerks
Why not? Some vapers are under the impression that cotton is completely safe and the clerk stated that to a customer. Not sure why that isn't a good point. It's why some people choose organic produce and some vapers choose organic cotton. Anyway, the main issue to me is the clerk giving out...- RPadTV

Hearing Misinformation About Cotton From Vape Store Clerks
I've been by a cotton field once. The cotton I saw was off-white and certainly not the bright white of packaged cotton. Besides, it has already been established by other posters that bleach and hydrogen peroxide are used to color cotton. Maybe you should stop with the childish insults...- RPadTV

Hearing Misinformation About Cotton From Vape Store Clerks
I think you're inferring. I don't have an opinion on cotton being safer or more dangerous than any other wicking material; certainly I'm not smart enough to know either way, but I also think it's foolish to believe that there aren't any dangers with using cotton wick. (And for the people that...- RPadTV

Hearing Misinformation About Cotton From Vape Store Clerks
Chemical use in cotton seems obvious to me and I didn't think I had to state it, but I could. Cotton is not white. Bleach or peroxide is used to give it a white color. Cotton is grown on farms, the majority of which use pesticides. Again, that should be fairly obvious. Some pesticides -- DDT for...- RPadTV

Hearing Misinformation About Cotton From Vape Store Clerks
Not the intent at all. If anything it's a call for vape shop employees to be more responsible with what they tell customers. That's great. If it works for you and you're comfortable with it then you can't beat that. The idea is that more vapers should informed about what they're inhaling and...- RPadTV

Hearing Misinformation About Cotton From Vape Store Clerks
Again, I don't see what the medical use of cotton has to do with anything. It's being used for seconds or minutes in most cases. In drastic circumstances, it's used for hours. How does that compare to frequent inhalation over the course of months or years? As for there being chemicals in the...- RPadTV

Hearing Misinformation About Cotton From Vape Store Clerks
In the article I pulled a quote from the CVS box that said, "To be used for application of antiseptics, medications and to cleanse scratches, cuts, or minor wounds." So yes, I "do realize" that sterile cotton is used that way. That said, I don't see your example as "proof" of anything. Minutes...- RPadTV

Hearing Misinformation About Cotton From Vape Store Clerks
Today's column was inspired by a chat I heard between a vape store clerk and a customer. The customer was somewhat new to vaping and was asking about cotton wicks. Unfortunately, some of the things the vape shop salesman said were misleading or false. While there are many reasons why cotton is...- RPadTV

So I'm thinking about getting a Super-T Manufacturing piece (funny video too :D)
I reviewed the Precise Simplicity last year and was very happy with it. You get great workmanship and an excellent warranty for the money. I've been using the Strata for a few days and it's definitely a well-made atomizer, but certainly not for everyone. I still need to experiment more with...- RPadTV

Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux
Speaking of Trabuco, a local store owner was trying to tell me that Trabuco's extraction method is dangerous. He said that the water in the whiskey/rum extracts carcinogens. The explanation sounded flimsy to me, but I'm not going to dismiss because I'm pretty much a science dummy. :) I'm sure... -
Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux
It's a fun issue to discuss, for sure. While I love several Want2Vape Signature Blends and Ahlusion Aromatics, there are times when I don't have the patience or time to deal with the gunking. Most of the time, I enjoy those juices at home, so that I can rebuild when necessary. Rarely will I...
