Love this stuff. Maybe it's all hype, but I DO notice a difference. Wasn't expecting much when I decided I'd give it a try, but so glad I did. So much easier to work with than Japanese cotton. It may be a bit more expensive, but I get frustrated with wicking and worth it to me to not use stock coils so much on my Toptanks that last only a couple days (sweet ADV juice) and can start using the rba again. I did try rayon, but didn't care for it.
Cotton bacon.... wasn't expecting that!

The v2 has is more easier to wick, it holds more juice and it's doesn't have that bleachy taste that the v1 has...

Cotton Bacon V2 is alright, as long as it works for you that's all that matters. Me I love Koh gen Do, I've tried everything from degummed Hemp Fiber to Rayon and always come back to Koh gen Do. Rayon, blech ... for me I don't like the taste, gives me a raspy dry throat and about the absolute worst scrape the tongue vomit inducing taste if you get a burnt hit on the planet.
Don't get sucked in by the "Wicking Religion", keep an open mind, try different wicks (to an reasonable extent) and just use what works for you.

I have tried most of the big name cotton out there... (Koh Gen Do, CB2, Muji, Puffs, Native Wicks, etc.) and Rayon and prefer NW Platinum. Wicks and lasts more like rayon, is easy to work with and doesn't have a long cotton finish like many others do.
I like it better but not by much. I haven't had a cotton or rayon that I couldn't vape after a few initial off-tasting puffs.

I'm pretty sure Platinum blend is a cotton/rayon blend. I don't have confirmation. But, appearance, feel, labeling, and performance indicate to me that it's a blend of the materials, probably 50/50.
I wouldn't be surprised if you are right. Wish it was labeled correctly if that is the case though.....
I have been trying all the different types of cotton/rayon. So far I like the cotton bacon the best. Get a weird taste with rayon and some of the others, so I have been saturating the wicks with juice and pulsing so that it puts out some clouds first then I put the tank together.
That it seems to get the bad taste out.

I'm enjoying some Cotton Bacon V2 I just picked up today for the first time. It wicks nicer in my Griffin than pads. I'm not noticing a difference in my RDA though.
Y'all do yourselves a favor and read the warning on the packaging if you haven't yet. I'm still laughing about it.

WOW, I thought I was the only one with the "rayon raspy throat". I liked it, easy to work with and you cant beat the price but I end up feeling like I have strep throat.
Anyone notice how long a packet of CB lasts? I bought 2 packets about 6 months ago and i just last week ordered two more. (re-wicking 2-6 times a week)
Cleaner taste for me, it doesn't have a breaking period and as someone struggling with dry hits on my serpent mini. It either wicks better or doesn't taste as strong when it gets burned. My best builds were with CB V2 wicks
