Some people do, some people don't. Personally, I do not boil mine. Rip, twist, wick and vape!
Me neither. I boil cotton ready made wick, but 100% cotton balls, just twist, pull it in the coil, trim and vape (on a dual coil dripper). Quickest set up of all.
They work great on BCC's like the Protank. I might eventually use it on my RDA but I'm terrible at running them dry.
I didn't even buy a new bag. I've had the same bag for better than 10 years and it's still half full. That reminds me, I need to polish my boots!
cotton sucks .... compared to cotton cheesecloth/gauze
works great on a reo but a regular rba um not so much..

^ I love organic cotton balls. One because I don't really like cotton wick/yarn and cotton balls are easier to work with rather than the sterile rolled cotton. All you do is open up the ball and it's already in one long strand.
I don't boil cotton but found there to be a crappy taste for the first 5-10 puffs then it goes away. I then decided to try 100% Organic cotton balls and there was no strange taste from the first puff onwards. Took me a while to find Organic but it was much better. Not sure if boiling would help the non organic cotton stop from having that awful taste at the beginning or not. I never did try.
I bet you are using to much cotton,grab what you think might be just enough, and then put a little of it back, a little goes a LONG way .
If you use to much it do suck a bigg'n
Cotten Swells when it gets wet, so if once it has sit and soaked up liquid and is fully saturated and you have what we call "shoulders", meaning it is bigger at the edge of your coils where it goes in , then you have to much
I use both the CVS Rolled Sterile cotton and the Peaches and Cream yarn. I boil the yarn because it sits unwrapped on a shelf at Wal-Mart for who-knows-how-long but the CVS Rolled stuff I just pull and wick with.
You do realize that cheesecloth/gauze is just tightly rolled cotton right?
You must be having bad experiences because a nice sub-ohm dual coil in an rda wicked with cotton vapes like a dream.
I dont boil my cotton. I bought a big bag of organic cotton balls from target a while back so im set for life. I only use cotton in all of my builds no matter what. Nothing tastes as good and nothing is easier to wick. Burnt wick? pull it out and twist up a new one. Switching flavors? do the same. no need to rebuild everytime you want to re wick. Coils will almost always outlast wick
This exactly ^^^^^ nothing is easier to work with. Pull out the old wick, dry burn the coil, insert new cotton and enjoy.
