Treebeard mentioned how killer this cotton was while back. I started using it about a month ago and it's a game changer.

If you wick it correctly there is absolutely ZERO cotton flavor even on the first hit. So keep that in mind. If you taste any cotton when you first hit it, take it out and remove some because it's too thick.

Here's my vid of how I do it :)

Oi bud. I have to admit that I haven't watched the video, but I have a question. When you use the Koh Gen Do do you leave the thick outer layer intact or just use the sweet sweet inside cotton?

It's all the same I believe. I haven't witnessed a difference in consistency :)

BTW, what is that coil you used in the vid? Does the cotton wick keep up with it? Only ask because I'm having a heck of a time getting a micro down that will wick quickly enough in the RM2 now that the upgrade is complete.

That's this coil :

It's on my VV grand. Right at 2 ohms, wrapped around a .055" mandrel.

I take roughly 3 second hits. I squonk after every hit or two. No issue keeping up whatsoever. The way I see it, the more I squonk, the better it is. Fresh :)

Squonking is your friend. Be one with it :)

this cotton is fantastic. thanks, sup.

also, sup, if you DIY you should check out the nic jimiD turned me onto. it's super clean.

Nicotine - Vapers Tek

i think i'll be switching to primarily unflavored after these few 120ml flavored bottles thanks to this nic.

Thank you. I had enough nic to last years when I vaped 24 mg. Now that I'm at 12 mg I have double :). It's VG that I'll have to replenish first :)

Hey supe, got the KGD in the vape mail today... Thanks again... Not real sure when I will get a chance to try it out, but will definitely do so. I really need to get me an RM2 on order so I have a 2nd atty to do different things with. The XC i'm using is just outstanding and personally I can't see anything taking its place. It is just so forgiving when one forgets, (doh), to squonk properly!! Cotton used to burn almost immediately after a dry hit, but XC is like the energizer bunny and keeps on crankin'....

On a different note, what sizes were the mandrels you sent me? I think the small one was 1/16" if I remember correctly. The larger one looks like its almost 1/2" compared to the other....lmfao

You're welcome bro :)

I'm stoked that you are having such good luck with the XC. It's great when the perfect balance is found :)

Yes, the small one is right around 1/16. The big one looked like around. 2.5. I had to break out some serious Kung fu grip to cut it so it would fit in that envelope too. :)

It might get used if I ever get around to using the 3mm XC... I really need to get that RM2 ordered!!! Either that or get the grand milled down...

Russ, I just now notice your vid on KGD. Thanks for making it and for pushing folks toward true organic wicking materials. I'm a silicaphob and metal wicks don't do it for me either so for now cotton is the only wick for me and it might as well be the least detrimental one available. I truly believe KGD is the healthier( and taste neutral) choice. I have been touting KGD for a while now and think it is the best as far as cotton wicking material goes. No more bleachy flavor and no residual chemicals from pesticides and fertilizers and processing chemicals. Thanks for all you do for us.
