I use plain ole standard cotton un boiled... I find it interesting when making my wicks to see how many bug legs I can find
I think dog hair improves the flavor a bit.
Is there a reason we use ORGANIC cotton over regular when making a wick?

I just read this to
<--- Her and she absolutely cringed. Seriously. I'm not totally sure, but I strongly suspect she was thinking along the lines of squirrel fur being much, much more appropriate ...

I'm not sure squirrel fur is long enough.
Ah you southerners
. You haven't met a real squirrel until you've met a Canadian squirrel! I'm not even sure you could call what these critters have fur, it's more like spikes ... Scary stuff!
Pesticides, bleaches to make the cotton Snow White and other chemicals are why people boil there regular cottons, ad why others go to organics to bypass that little hassle.
My Walgreens carries the organic for $3.59. Nicely done.... Organic it is!
ecobutterfly organics...pakucho worsted cotton certified organic from the farm to your hand ...... most organic cotton is indeed organic until it leaves the farm and gets on a truck and goes to the treatment factory to be sprayed with bleach to make it white (natural cotton has an uneven cream color that people think is dirt so the producers want to fix it by bleaching) i researched for hours online for a farm to hand product that was cost effective and had no chemicals... for around 8 bucks i get 300+ builds
Whatever makes you happy is the best thing to do. I have regular ol cotton balls I boiled. The store was out of organic ones, but there are a large number of vapers around here. Or maybe I didn't look hard enough for them. Regardless, both have advantages and disadvantages.
Even if the price difference was $10, a bag of 200 cotton balls is enough for me to re-wick 5X a day for the rest of my life, and still have leftovers to leave someone in my will. Just sayin'.
Im gonna have to try some organic cotton. For some reason I can never get the normal ones to taste right, even after a few boilings.

Well how old are ya?? I've seen some of your posts and I'd like to weasel my way into that will
Regular cotton balls have pesticides and bleach in them, as many people mentioned above. I personally use organic cotton balls by maxim hygene and they wick better than any other ive tried, meaning no dry hits and a small amount of cotton holds enough juice to get me through 5-7 hits on a dual coil .4 ohm build at 30 watts.

Hi there..just started rebuilding using cotton on my kayfun 3.1 clone..I use regular sterile cotton, and I neither boil it, nor even wash it..I think if they use it in surgeries or in treating open wounds, it can't be as harmful as some people think. I haven't found an odd taste to it..and I'm perfectly happy with the results, but I'll give organic cotton a try just to see if there is any difference.
I use CVS brand STERILE USP rolled cotton - 1 box will last about 4.5 lifetimes.

While your shopping for cotton balls, buy up all they have, you might save a life

Organic cotton agriculture excludes the use of synthetic pesticides. Insect pests are controlled by crop rotation, biological control, trap crops and natural pesticides.
-Biological control can introduce invasive species into the environment, causing ecological damage.
-Natural pesticides (yes, organic cotton farmers can use natural pesticides and call their product organic) include neem and pyrethrum, both of which are toxic to humans.
So pick your poison, organic or synthetic.

maybe they should go back to using nicotine as a pesticide/deterrent, then we wouldnt have to boil/wash the cotton, just add glycerin
