For all of you that use Japanese cotton, where do you get it & is there specific kinds you like better? I know for awhile KGD was hard to find or shipping was ridiculous. Any info would help me out. Ty all

I ordered mine straight from Koh Gen Do cosmetics but they are currently out of stock so I didn't provide a link. I really like the product. They provide 60 pads in a box which should last someone quite a while. Good luck in your quest. 
I got mine here - Koh Gen Do Organic Cotton Pads at Barneys.com
ETA: Just checked, no longer available. That's a heck of a note.

I just ordered the Amazon link 6 hours ago they had 14 left, and now down to 8. Man cotton farmers most be loving us vapers.
I know, when some thing is hot in the vaping world it sell out fast
I ordered the last amazon link weeks ago 200 sheets should last me forever It was shipped from Japan and got here incredibly Fast!
I tried almost every wicking material out there and this cottons is the best I have tried so far

Yup, the store I bought my initial kit charged me around $6 for a bag of 5pcs of KGD. I have liked it enough that I decided to buy two bags. I will argue with Amazon if I only get one bag, as the description states the price was for two bags. That puts it at $6.90 a bag with 120 sheets in a bag for the large which means I saved enough to pay for the new REO on the way
. Plus it is now shipped with Prime!

Not sure what you mean as knock off stuff. The stuff I bought is authentic organic Japanese cotton facial sheets, which is what KGD is. Honestly, I can't imagine to many factories in Japan make organic cotton facial sheets.
The Amazon link is another brand I also could not find the original KGD in stock any were The Amazon cotton looks the same it works really well, better than organic cotton or Rayon
There are only 7 left I thought it was worth a try, it's not that much money and I am pleased with it

I had a hard time with cotton (tried so many I can't even count) until I found KGD so I'm worried if it isn't the same. Never tried Shisedo but that's another ... cotton.

Ok thanks!

From my understanding Japanese cotton works the best because of the manufacturing process. It aligns and layers the sheets so the fibers are running in straight lines and parallel to each other. That way the liquid is absorbed and moved throughout the cotton via capillary action. Personally, I would focus on the pictures and appearance of the cotton itself and not the brand. We want capillary action, not necessarily a specific brand. Sorry if I came across as rude.
Had a box of 60 KGD coton pads and continued to test other cotton wicking media. Needless to say, the KGD is the only one, which is used, now.
For myself, the KGD afforded the cleaness non cotton tasting flavor. That's a huge factor in the equation for many.
If cotton pads or balls are pure white it has been whiten chemically with bleach or Hydrogen Peroxide. Hydrogen Peroxide would be my choice if I was buying Organic Cotton Balls[if Organic cotton Ball Brand says no bleach used,then assume Hydrogen Peroxide was used. Organic Cotton balls or pads that have not been whitened chemically will appear -Off White- to the eye.
I didn't think you came across rude at all. And thanks for the info. It is amazing how much difference there is (to me at least) the taste from different cottons. I tried organic cotton balls from Whole Foods, boiled and unboiled, and could not stand the taste. It made my throat scratchy too. I almost gave up on cotton completely until someone kindly PIFed me some KGD.
Now I have enough cotton balls, yarn and such to last me 20 yrs
