Has anyone tried plain old cotton?

[Slickstick]

I've used pollyfill factory carts
Sponges
Fluval
Lipton Pyramid Tea Bags
Blue Foam
and now I am trying cotton
Is there a reason people don't use plain old cotton?
I didn't use no spring or straw, I just rolled up a round piece and stuck it in a full cart and it's working perfect. So what if you have to stick another piece in on refills its too easy. And i'm not even sure you have to as I am just tring this now for the first time. I find it hard to believe nobody has done this being as it is sooooooooo cheap and easy. So I am asking..

I'd assume cotton would burn quite easily.

vaping like mad this is....
still holding up not burning as of yet I like it a lot.

What kind of PV are you using with it?

Every couple of days i see someone asking about cotton and someone always responds with that its a bad idea cause its not safe.. dont remember exactly what was said but obviously some bad chemicals.

Do a search on this forum and i'm sure it you'll find your asnwer.

If I remember right, cotton fibers come loose easier than polyester and can gunk up you atty and can get inhaled with the vapor. I used cotton for a while and it did hold more than the regular filler but I got a real mess after awhile on my atty. Maybe try small foam piece on top of cotton?

That's a good idea. No burnage.

I used cotton from a sterile face cleaning pad for a long time. In my mini 102, I shaped it like a funnel, making sure the top was big enough to cover the opening. It worked great and then I got some new attys and for some reason I started having trouble. Then I went to the face buff pad with the cotton from the cleaning pad as a topper. This worked great but then I found that the TB worked better than the cotton.
Then Kristin came up with a new TB mod which I'm using and really like.
I never had any problem with the cotton burning. When it did work, it'd last me the day through and no other filler has done that.

Cotton is grown with soooo many chemicals. I wouldn't just because of that.

100 count of organic cotton balls can be found for less than $3 on Amazon. Most are whitened with Hydrogen Peroxide however, But I imagine somewhere un-whitened ones could be found.

hmm... what about the cotton that you get from like a vitamin bottle, I would assume that those should be safe since it is combines which edible goods?

any ideas? Because I got a huge piece of cotton here and a BUNCH of empty Carts (no fillers in them) from the atomizers that they came with.


Happy Vaping to ALLLLL!!

And Happy Early Christmas, New Years, Chinese New Years, And B-Day

Any Advice? Pretty Please...

I read somewhere on this site someone used aqua foam. It's pretty cheap isn't it?

 

[tims]

I cotton wick would work better I would think, with a kero heater the fire keeps sucking up the kero, so it keeps it going even though the wick is above the kero.

A cotton wick should suck up the juice, but should like it drop easy and the atom's heat, should help pull the juice to it as needed. Then again, I'm not sure as I'm use to a kero heater not a ecig.

But it seems to me it could work well, and it should be able to with stand, the atoms heat well if juice is on it all the time. And the cotton wicks are cheap, and pretty strong as they are braided together well.

What about using organic hemp?

Yes I have works fine, on my 510.

Hemp? bloody hippies....

Just kidding... actually that might be an idea, although I have no idea if it produces an odor or taste when heated...

No more than cotton I would imagine. 100% organically grown, unbleached.

I ordered some degummed hemp fiber, unfortunately it's way too fine. Something like an organic hemp tea bag cut up to fit would probably be way better.
