Japanese cotton

[Kevo333]

I want to try it what's good, I was looking at puff or shiseibo?

 

[Lessifer]

I've tried Koh Gen Do and Shiseido. Both are excellent, but the KGD is fluffier/slightly thicker. I'm using the Shiseido now, since it's what I could get ahold of for $10 including shipping.

Look at Amazon and search for koh Gen do. The first link is Japanese puff cotton. Amazing

 

[FastNick]

Koh gen do is awesome. I don't use the regular organic cotton anymore.

Someone I trust recommended this and I will be trying it next. I think it is a very reasonable price. Good luck to you.

I started using Koh Gen Do in my drippers and I love it. Was using rayon before that and organic cotton before the rayon. I do like the rayon too though.

I use Muji cotton. Great stuff, easy to use. I steam it before I use it.

Just got my hands on Koh Gen Do. The only other cotton I've ever used was organic cotton balls from the pharmacy....

Night and day difference when wrapping a new coil. No taste what so ever.

KGD is okay. Not the best. If you want the best, go for ReadyxWick. Best stuff ever. And it lasts like 2 weeks to a month, some say close to 6-8 weeks if you care for it properly.

Pretty fantastic isn't it? It made the biggest difference in my vaping experience. Before that learning to microcoil made the biggest difference.

Now I can't wait to try subohming.

The cotton Labo organic puffs are what I use, best cotton I've found and I've tried "many" different types/brands including Rayon cellucotton. Japanese cotton (regardless of brand), wicks extremely well, provides outstanding flavor and is easy to use. Just be sure what you get is "organic", you don't want bleach, pesticide or other chemical residue in your juice.

I picked up a lifetime supply of Shiseido in a Sephora section of the local JC Penneys store. Very, very happy with it.

I'm using some Koga Japanese cotton that comes in sheets. It's all very clean and highly combed so that all the fibers are parallel, and it wicks nicely, I've been vaping on the same wick for a week without a change and it's still clean and tasty.

There's a definite difference in organic cotton balls and combed sheets. With the organic cotton balls I've sometimes have to go through a cotton ball to find a section of clean cotton with no voids. With the sheets of Japanese cotton, it's all good.

I have some Koga that I got when I couldn't get KGD and it was just as good a vape as KGD but the pads were so much thinner. As soon as I could get KGD again, I did and I only periodically use the Koga, just to use it up.

I'm thinking about trying some actual cotton from the field. They grow cotton all around the ranch I manage and I grabbed a Walmart sack full the last time there was a harvest. One of these days I'm going to give it a try. Anyone ever try it? Surely there are some other rednecks here on ECF

The trouble with using field picked cotton is that it is grown and treated as a non-edible crop, potent herbicides, pesticides and other chemicals are likely present. Boiling may help reduce the chemical contaminants but using organically grown cotton would be even better. Organic field cotton would likely work extremely well if you could get/keep the individual fibers all running in the same direction.

Tried to order some of that stuff from Amazon and you have to make an additional 25 purchase. I order from Amazon about 3 times a year. Jc penny says they don't have it at the stores. Any other suggestions? I really liked the price of the stuff from Amazon.

It is good stuff. I got cotton labo a month or 2 ago. It is a life time supply. At 7 dollars and change it is well worth it if you don't mind waiting for 30 days to get it.

I'm using Shiseido at the moment. It had a pretty strong cotton taste for me out of the bag, so I had to boil it. Now it's great. I peel off the topmost and bottommost layers of each pad, cut around the edges, and use what's left.

I did just receive the Koh Gen Do that I backordered from Nordstrom last month, so I'll be interested to see how that performs. Hopefully it won't require boiling, too.

Just started dripping and picked this up for 400 yen ($4) on Amazon here. Think this is going to last a long long time. Price of importing juice from the states balances out the cheap price of cotton here though.

Coincidentally, fasttech listed three types of japanese organic cotton in new arrivals just today
One called OEM which i think might be the KGD, one called "puff" no idea who that is, and finally the muji stuff.
Kind of high priced considering its only for five pads each, but the shipping is free and one could compare the differences without buying three large boxes.

But then again and here in the usa, I recently bought two of these unknown brand name 4 packs of japanese organic cotton pads to try out for 1.95 each plus 2.82 shipping since I was ordering some rda screws from kidney puncher. They were out of stock of course on the kgd pads so I bought these others.. no idea what mfr name but the stuff works very well for getting the right wick to coil fit compared to the frustration of using cvs rolled cotton.

unknown brand ???
