I buy mine from Walgreens. Any organic cotton is fine. The difference in organic and regular cotton is that organic is bleached with Hydrogen Peroxide, and regular is bleached with chlorine. If you buy regular, many people recommend you boil that cotton prior to using it for vaping.

I don't boil my organic cotton.

There is no chemical residue left with the peroxide organic cotton. And if I'm not mistaken the "sterile" cotton like the cvs cotton (which is what I use) is sterilized in an autoclave. Which is is basically a pressurized steam cleaner. That is the way they sterilize medical equipment. And the cvs role is HUGE!! Lots of cotton. You will never need to buy more IMO!

You should only use cotton you have handpicked your self in the country of Nauru

no, really, I think organic cotton would be good enough, I mean really, think about it, we smoked for X amount of years with no concern what so ever of what was in the cigarettes we were smoking but now is the time to get OCD over what was used to clean cotton?

The risks of cigarette smoke are approximately known.

The risks of bleach or pesticide residue aren't studied in anything like the same detail for this use case.

Is there likely to be a significant amount of residue? I don't know. If there is, is it likely to be removed by boiling? I suspect partly.

Does it cause any harm to boil it, or take longer than 1 hour for more cotton than you could possibly use in a year? Nope...

Pretty simple choice from where I'm sitting.

I would avoid non organic cotton due to the fact that most cotton grown is genetically modified(gmo). Don't know if its a big deal, but I try to avoid all corn, beets, soy, or cotton for that reason. It's tough because its in all the food. Read the labels on your food and you'll find corn and soy in many forms. It's probably a eugenics operation that most aren't aware of.
