100% cotton balls Life Brand

[Juvecoop]

Hi guys,

anyone here ever purchase these from shoppers drug mart. The bag is clear and says Life brand 100% cotton balls quantity 300. Other then that it doesn't state sterile or anything else for that matter. Do I have to boil them or can it be used out of bag?

I usually look for "organic" cotton balls. Boiling them is up to you. I feel better skipping the boiling process on "organic" ones, but I'm not certain if they're all that different.
I generally dislike the taste of the first few hits on a cotton wick. That might be due to the fact that I don't boil them.

I dont know about the brand, but I would suggest boiling them. I was using organic cotton balls and still getting funky tastes, boiled a few of them, no more unexplained tastes. And I have an abundant supply of wick for a while.

How do you dry your cotton? I left mine out for 2 day and the cotton balls were still damp. Is that normal?

I use organic cotton from CVS which I do not boil, and have never noticed any bad tastes or anything. But I don't vape fruity candy vapes.

I used them before, and i still have a bag full of them. I just wick and vape, didnt bother boiling or drying or what ever, but what i found is shoppers drug mart carried "shiseido cotton pads" in the makeup section. For $11 i think it beats the cotton balls, and a lot of ppl swear by the shiseido cotton pads.

Heres what the bag looks like

Do you cut them in strips or roll them? I may have to try these next. Boiling is such a pain. Do you know if these have been bleached? From my understanding that's the entries reason why ppl say to boil the cotton.

skip the cotton and find something called Cellucotton ( rayon) its available at Beauty Supply shops ( Sallys) it is better than cotton
