hi guys I been doing a lot of builds trying to find one I like and just trying other advanced ones ( keeps me busy lol) and enjoy it . But I normally use the cotton that are pads . Square : I get them from local vape shop sometimes free or sometimes 5$ for like 5 .. I get them free when I buy a lot of kanthal . But just orderd a lot offline so I don't wanna have to pay5$ just for 5 sheets cuz I go through a lot of cotton at times . Where can I get those pads cheap for a lot ? Another vape shop uses that long cotton that is like in big strips and falls apart I don't like that cotton at all it's annoying but they said I can get like 100feet of it from Sally's for 20$ wat should I do . Is the long cotton the same as the pads

howdy - and welcome
the 'long cotton' that comes from Sally's is actually rayon (called cellucotton - 100% rayon fiber)... you can actually get the pads from Sephora - called Koh Gen Do - about $14 for a pack of 60 pads (or online from Sephora, or through amazon also)
personally, I like Cotton Bacon for my drippers, though I am in the process of testing rayon also, heard a lot of good feedback about it... but I use Koh Gen Do pads for all my rebuildable tanks
hope this helps!

Koh Gen Do from amazon is very cheap. Doesn't have to be from a vape vendor, anywhere will do. I got 100 ft of kanthal and 50 sheets of KGD pads for 6.99. Much cheaper than my local b&m and should last me awhile.
For $ .86 more you can get 195 more sheets! http://www.amazon.com/Selena-Organi...970&sr=8-3&keywords=ko+gen+do+japanese+cotton
Did you have any difficulty working with it? It was the first wicking material I purchased, back when I was trying to rebuild the coils for my Nautilus. I found it difficult to pull off pieces and make them a consistent thickness, which in turn made it difficult to wrap a consistent wick around the coil.
Finally, I broke down and bought an RTA. Probably a little more expensive than buying cotton in sheets, but it's worked out OK.
I've still got the cotton bacon, any suggestions for working with it, or is it just me?
i think it would be a pain in the tuckus to wrap coils for exactly the reason you mentioned... for my drippers, though, I love it - will pull a strip, then roll it with one hand, lightly, on the top of my leg to create a cotton dreadlock, if you will - then (most of my drippers are dual coil setups), cut the 'lock in half, twist up an end and wick... but for my rta's (kanger, et al), i use the pad cotton pretty exclusively - and for a vertical coil rebuild (kanger, atlantis, freemax) I use the cotton pad also (koh gen do)
I use the koh gen do pads , they are easy to cut into wicks and to me they vape well.
Most people by them from amazon or eBay or department stores as many vaping stores sell them for more money in smaller quantities.

PIT, yep, couldn't have said it better myself. I appreciate your suggestion for the cotton bacon, and I'll give it whirl next time I wick one of my RTAs. I have the cotton pads now, but still never managed a satisfactory rebuild for my Nautilus. Since I'm stubbornly refusing to buy any more coils, it may be time to PIF. [sigh]
I Wonder if that's the same rayon they use in packaging in pill bottles. If so Im set! Lol I'm a machine operator and see several 30lb boxes of that almost daily
Theoretically yes!! Lol but a lot of companies these days seem to mix up their packaging randomly between rayon/polyester/blends thereof. A buddy of mine found that out the hard way after using rayon from pill bottles awhile til one day same brand same product all that...but he re-wicked and it was god-awful, stunk up the whole room, I finally found a lighter and hit the stuff with it and lo & behold, they'd used polyester in that bottle...shrivelled up like a blackened piece of nasty... Needless to say he buys his rayon now... Still to this day I wish I had a pic of the look on his face after that hit tho lmao I'm evil some days as @Sparkler24 can attest
I get a great vape from rayon, but unfortunately it makes my mouth and throat itch something fierce I use KGD purchased from amazon and am very happy with it. Easy to work with. I find I like to split the sheets in half and use it that way

I read on the rayon thread the pill bottle rayon is some of the best stuff to use. Lucky duck.
Haha no doubt and we thought some of those sally boxes were bigLOL, can you imagine having a 30lb box of the stuff! I used to think a couple ounces was a lot.
Cotton bacon is really good I found, or Ken Gen Do. Never used anything but cotton, so can't rate Rayon.
Any wicking material is going to have some sort of learning curve, but I've gotta say one of the easiest for me were the cotton pads. I bought a box of KGD from Amazon, and I've tried a few more brands (sent along with some of the rebuildables I've bought) and they all perform and taste pretty much identical.
I try to buy from Amazon when I can, but I've also used a few other vendors (like a fiber supply company for my rayon and tencel top).
