Are these Japanese cotton things Pads?

Yes. They are about an 1/8" thick (perhaps a shade less) and are aprox. 2" x 3" pads . They have a thin, compressed layer on each side. Most people peel those compressed layers off so they are left with nice, fluffy Japanese cotton. They cut off a strip (aprox 3/16" wide give or take), roll it, feed it through their coil, trim and paste to the deck and off you go. It has excellent wicking properties with minimal/no flavor break-in period.

Dermstore.com discontinued it. Sephora.com is out of stock.
Check this out:
https://www.kohgendocosmetics.com/shopproductdetail.asp?prodID=27&catID=16

Due to an increased demand, we are currently limiting a maximum number of 1 Pure Cotton per order at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience. ***Available through online purchase only at this time.

Vapers rock the cotton world. Though, rayon is better...

True, but it is hand delivered by a smiling Japanese virgin. You might find it worth it, after a few minutes.

Google around. The usual suspects are out of stock, but there are more out there.
Koh Gen Do Organic Cotton Pads at Barneys.com

Shesiedo is pretty much the same thing. $10, free shipping here:
Shiseido Facial Cotton at Barneys.com

I found Shesiedo at the local Macy's (or Lord and Taylor), so get out of the house a bit more.

My prior post was only to highlight that KGD is in short supply, due to vape demand.

Rayon is still better...

Thanks for the links. I'm not far from a Macy's so maybe I'll check that out too next time I'm by there.

I'm not trying Rayon because I'm not sure of the safety. I'm mostly sure it is fine but I have no problems with Japanese cotton so I'm sticking with that until it doesn't work anymore. :)

Ha! I just got into a short conversation with Todd on the Provari thread last night. I'm eyeing that P3 with the boost option. I so badly want to use 24 - 28 ga wire but at the low power I vape it takes too long to heat up all that wire. The boost feature solves that problem.
I'm eying too, not that I really need another mod but just love Provaris

Bronze, I still have a stack of kgd that someone sent me a few months back, so not sure about purchasing. I reckon I have enough for a year because I also use rayon alot. Speaking about rayon, have enough of that for maybe 5 years.

Remember the cartridges on e-cigs a few years back? I bought some foam for them. Probably a 780 year supply. Went obsolete in 78 hours.

So i kinda stopped vaping for a good month or 2 cause I kinda got bored with it (couldnt find a flavor i liked and got bored of all my favorites).

Anyways after attending vapesummit, im back in the vape game and just now dipping into these "Japanese cotton". I tagged along with my g/f since she was going to sephora and so i could get the koh gen do stuff to only find out they dont carry them in-store.

So i went to amazon and ordered another brand of japanese cotton http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TCD51A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 anyone ever used this? this the same as the stuff recommended? Its funny cause all the reviews from it are from vapers but most of them using RDA's lol.


edit: whats yalls opinions on the japanese cottons (KGD/labo) vs rayon cellucotton on the kayfun?
