Lab Certified chemical Free Organic Cotton anyone?

[super_X_drifter]

I just got off the phone with Butch "The Cottonman" a cotton farmer from North Carolina. Talk about a cool dude - almost like Rob with a North Carolina Accent. A pleasure to talk with.

I called to inquire about his natural cotton products and he told me that the natural pima (you should see this stuff on his website) is already being sold as wicks and it looks like it is a killer product. He mentioned that he is in the process of getting certified organic cotton for us vapers too. I asked him about the possibility of also getting lab certification that it is chemical free. (because I don't like to boil and have zero desire or experience doing it) .He said that that is entirely possible and he would look into it. I suggested that maybe I could request that interested parties email him to express their interest in this type of product so he could gage interest.

So, if you are interested (I sure as heck am) in certified chemical free long strand cotton from a US supplier, how bout you email Butch at: fbyrum@cottonman.com

Heres his site and theNatural PIMA that you can buy now (but I think he recommended boiling it) Pima cotton sliver

Good sleuthing, Russ. Great find. This just may be the ANSWER we've all been searching for. I ordered a bit of it.....and I'll email him about the certification. Thank you.

Very cool, Russ. I'm all about "chemical free" (at least in my cotton wicks).
Do you plan to boil the Pima? Did you happen to ask his thoughts on KGD? Lab certified chemical free cotton sounds like just the ticket we've all been waiting for. Good work, bro!

I did not get the Pima yet but I am sending him a KGD pad so he can see what we really like the finish product to resemble. He is also gonna shoot me a sample of that Pima. Hell, I might even boil it so I can try it

Talking with him was a great learning experience. Seems like a good partner to have in out corner as we try to reduce potential contaminants in our vape

Nice! That Pima looks beautiful.

That's some great looking stuff!

I'm pretty sure VAScooter was working on this as well, actually I'm positive of it; I have a sample. Looks like an uncut macaroni noodle. Maybe the same guy he is dealing with, we didn't talk about who his supplier was other than he had one.

 

[ElConquistador]

Oh no. Not again, I've already got a 500 year supply of cotton!

What did you think of the sample bro? Is it awesome ?

Yeah, tell me bout it.
When I started using the Shiseido, I said no more chasing this stuff, well daym, one more time!

WTH? 4oz for $10... Thank_x

I emailed Butch yesterday at 5:08 PM and he replied at 5:30 PM saying he was working on it. That was neat!!!

I'll be watching this thread for sure to see if the certified cotton becomes a reality. I won't buy any of the other till I see if the certified goes or not. I don't need to buy one, then at a later date buy yet another. I have way too much cotton as it is.

 

[olefolks]

One thing about cotton. It doesn't spoil, LOL!!
