I got my pads in today from amazon...60 for 12 bucks plus 5.00 shipping. Switched out a couple attys and I must agree that it is much easier to wick and cut to size. I thought SnC was easy compared to cotton balls but this is easier and better than yarn! I never really got that cotton taste that some of y'all reference so I can't agree with the "tasteless" cotton aspect, maybe my juice flavorings are too overwhelming! I must also admit that I read about this KGD cotton pads for a couple weeks and was not enticed to try them until I said what the heck, let's try it and ordered on Saturday, delivered today!! Glad I took the plunge, thanks friends!!

Iowa is right. Peeling the pad in two makes it easier to cut. From there you can cut a tad larger strip from the pad. Yes it will be as much cotton, a different shape but, the strip will be wider. I also found the inner fibers soak faster when priming.
Splitting was how I was taught by the Buddhist Monks in Thailand when I was detoxing from smoking pure opium all day for 6 months from the flowers of the poppy that grow freely in a small island off the coast of Vietnam....Too much?

Without back peddling through however many pages for the answer.... where to I buy this KGD to try it out? Thanks.

Many have suggested Sephora...cosmetic store...I just went to amazon and bought. I can go look and see who the actual seller is if you like. It was a cosmetic company!! Never in my mind would I have thought I would the things I buy for vaping....seriously....cotton balls, cotton pads, yarn, jewelry gizmo thingy, bead threaders, and the list goes on!!
I took my wife and a couple of her girlfriends to see Cindy Lauper and Cher last night in Raleigh. That 61 and 68 yr old respectively can put on a show!! We were shocked at Cher's show and performance!!
Ok back on subject, the KGD works great and a box of 60 pAds will last quite awhile. I would send a couple out to y'all in need if you can't get any, let me know!!

General rule with KGD is, if you taste cotton your wick is too big. If the cotton moves back and forth a bit and isn't too tight, your good to go.
As much as I vape my Heron and Spheroids I was going back and fourth from SnC to ekowool. Now I have all but given up eko. This makes me happy.

OK, I'll try again. I was able to upload the images to both imgur and photobucket. the images were taken with my camera and were email size, meaning small versus A4. But, when I hit the download icon in my posting to ECF window, it said they were too large. But, the same image uploaded directly from my Mac to the post went through, but was mini-sized, as opposed to the big pics you folks insert into your posts. I'll try again.

In order to post pics here that are uploaded to photobucket you have to use image tags without spaces. [ img ] insert pic link/url here [ / img ]

Imgur is def easier and a great place to store, resize and transfer using the bb coding.

Randomness here......Have I mentioned that Xtreme101 is one of the greatest peoples I know?

The seller on Amazon wouldn't ship to my location, Sephora here didn't carry it, Sephora online was sold out ... so I got mine from dermstore.com

edit: and if you didn't already know KGD is short for Koh Gen Do.

Just use Imgur. Before you download them to Imgur change the downloading size on Imgur. It's to the right towards the top. I generally use message board size. Sometimes the next larger, 15in screen?
If you need to make smaller or larger from Imgur you can also change edit your pic.

I did also, hate that they charge tax on top. They started that in October in all 50 states.

Thanks for the info and offer Zbeast. Figured out it's Koh Gen Do Pure Cotton so far... I'll see if I can find them.

 

[newyork13]

I'll try it. Perhaps I was hitting one of the other options.

Using imgur is really easy. Once you have your image on their site, if necessary, click on the image so it's in a window like this:

Click on the copy icon next to "BBCode" (circled in red). That copies the necessary code into your clipboard. Just paste into the message. The code pasted looks like this (minus the space I inserted):

Yep, change the download size on Imgur before downloading to Imgur and you'll be golden bro.

I'll check that; it might have been my problem. thx as always bud

sephora and dermstore have them. dermstore is free shipping, but 'expected to ship in less than 5 days'.

Edit: couldn't stand it, ordered some.

 

[Stormy1960]

I get my KGD here Koh Gen Do Organic Cotton Pads at Barneys.com. Free shipping...last time I ordered it was here in two days.

Don't use any of the icons in the message editor at all - just past the code in your clipboard straight into your message as you're typing.

Just ordered from here. Thanks Stormy! I guess I must see what all the fuss is about. =)

I've been using Photobucket for years and never had issues.
