Generally I run just plain organic cotton from CVS I boil in distilled water for my rda's. Japanese Cotton, and Pima cotton I run in my RTA's. Recently got a sample of Cotton Bacon I am testing in one of my Russian 91's. Have tried bamboo, even hemp which I still run in my other Russian 91% I use only tobacco and RY4 flavors in. Haven't tried Rayon wick yet, though do not plan to. Still I am happy with just basic organic cotton for my general use, depends on how experimentive I wish to get, or when a new product reaches the store I work at to test it out before offering to customers.

I tend to run Japanese cotton on my tanks (well just my fogger...don't really use anything else haha) and rayon on my RDAs. I find the rayon is tougher and can withstand more punishment that my RDAs receive, whereas the Japanese tends to wick a bit better imo. Also easy to work with in that small space. I also have a bunch of organic cotton lying around from before I started using these things...does anyone want it? :p

I'm using "CS being" cotton pads. They look like Koh Gen Do in construction and shape - with all the fibers running in one direction - and they split apart down the center like I've seen people do with Koh Gen Do. Bought it at the local CVS (Long's Drugstore here in Hawaii) on sale for $1.99 for 110 pieces. Been using it for maybe 4-6 weeks now and haven't even used 1/2 of a pad yet.

Pretty sure it isn't "organic", as it has no color imperfections and I have no idea what kind of treatments have been applied to it. I figured that at my rate of use, it can't be too bad. I drip almost all the time and I can pretty much tell when I need to drip to avoid a dry hit. I do get one once in a while, though.

Works very well though. After I thought about it I think the key is that the fibers all run i one direction. I believe that helps the wicking process. Wicking and flavor production is better than with the organic cotton balls I used to use.

All it says is "Made in Japan" and "Manufactured by Daisan K.K." I'll buy some Koh Gen Do when I can find some without ridiculous shipping fees.

What type of cotton is everyone running on their mods?

Right now, I'm using Cottonman's organic and raw cotton. It's great, with no chemicals added. And NO BLEACH.

It beats having to boil that 99 cent cotton :laugh:

When you say raw cotton, what do you mean? Directly out of the field? The reason I ask is because the fields here are turning nice and white and have wondered why I couldn't pick some for vaping.

Depending on the pesticides used, I'd boil the heck out of it, but you can absolutely vape with cotton out of the field. You're bypassing several middlemen!
