Hello.
I am running out of cotton supplies and found that nearby shop with cosmetics sells 100% bio cotton. But they write it was whitened with oxygen.
Is it safe to use?
I heard it is safe to vape hydrogen peroxide whitened cotton as H2O2 synthesises quickly into H2O and O2 but I still wrap my head around how they could whiten the cotton with O2 and if they instead mean H2O2 instead of O2.

Aside from a funny taste for a few puffs you should be fine with it.
Smooches, haven't seen you for awhile dear rabbit.

@Feldrod I started out using cotton balls and they do work, agree they do have more of a break in period than most others imo. After you install wick juice & pulse several times before using to prime wick and cut down on break in period.

Thanks a lot guys.
I do not use premium cotton as DIY was only to save money so I do not care much about largest "cloudz bro" or the absolutely best flavour (if it tastes how it is supposed to, I don't care much more)
Clrane cotton from FTT works just fine with Siren 2 22mm (just received today, I am stunned by it :D) and 200pack of Puff cotton bought :D
So drugstore cotton is allright? If anybody heard about Ebelin cotton (cosmetic cotton) I'd like to know opinion about that. It is listed as 100% viscose, whitened with oxygen (So with hydrogen peroxide) and many vapers in my country reported using it when out of cotton and that it works fine. I am just worried about relative safeness and if it works (not leaking or dry hitting)

Kho Gen Do cotton is nice and clean with combed and aligned fibers. Sally's Rayon is also a great wicking medium. A pack of either will last a long time. If you buy Sally's rayon, get the small box (500ft)and it will last for years. Cotton balls are fine, also.

I'm stuck on Sally's cellucotton rayon.
