I think it's more like Koh Gen Don't. They are too expensive, non-sterile and "medical grade" is meaningless, like "natural." I couldn't find any sterile cotton pads, only balls and rolls (except for gauze) anywhere.

"Intrinsics" (a product line by Carolina Beauti-Products, a subsidiary of Barnhardt Manufacturing) appears to be the only US made "medical grade" cotton pads available. This is the best price I could find:

Wipes - Esthetic, 100% Cotton, 4x4 4-ply, 200 from Intrinsics

To be honest, I seriously doubt sephora is buying Intrinsics pads when there are other options like this one:

Medical Grade Cotton - Buy Medical Grade Cotton,Absorbent Medical Cotton,High Grade Cotton Product on Alibaba.com

Ocelots like to hunt. Ocelots also like things that are round. Thank you for the suggestion, but I'll stick with my sterile cotton balls (which, of course, are no longer sterile the minute you open the package).

You need to look in the first aid section for sterile rolled cotton, it's for wound dressing.

Well I for one started using Bamboo for my wick and ceramic. I started using the Bamboo a couple of months ago and I really like it it doesn't have the yuk taste of cotton to me. I'm using ceramic now and like it too. The Bamboo and ceramic neither have the yuk taste of cotton and the ceramic has the lasting power of nothing else. The Bamboo can be sourced from Walmart.com Aunt Lydias number 10 size Bamboo and delivered to your local Walmart very cheap too under three bux.QUOTE]

Just bought this online and having it shipped site to store. Thanks for the suggestion. T'was $3.07 total.

I'm aware of that. I mentioned rolls in my post, but super_x was talking about cotton pads. I already had a few large bags of now-non-sterile cotton balls before I started this adventure. I'm not concern about them being sterile since when used they are exposed to hot coils and soaked in poison. Lol! I'm also not concerned about the cat and dog hair I'm sure to have vaped.

Ah ok, yeah the sterile is just rolls the Koh gen do is what comes in pads. I have a box of it that I don't really use since I like ceramic wicks. Drop me a PM and I'd be happy to send you some to try.
