"Sterile 100% cotton balls.
The cheapest ones you can find are just fine.
If you want to boil them, feel free.
Don't worry about what kind of chemical pesticides or fertilizers were used to grow the cotton. Any foolishness spread about the potential dangers of using conventionally grown cotton is a bunch of FUD and is meant only to separate you from your money."[/I]
You've conducted or can provide a lab study pertaining to cotton used as an atomizer coil?
Organic's coming down in price and becoming more popular, it's almost a luxury right now though.
The OP and others' interested in being %100 sure their
vape experience isn't ruined by unnecessary chemicals is valid. We come in contact with chemicals all the time but we minimize how much gets into
vaping.
To those interested, you'll likely have to email your way all the way to the manufacturer. I email a lot about manufacturing processes, and it's often a dead end without a full answer. It's often
not worth their effort financially to follow
through with the questions for a small order.
If something says it's organic doesn't mean it's free of chemicals after it's grown i.e the peroxide-treated organic cotton balls at walgreens so they can be gleaming white like bleached flour and bone-filtered sugar. Some companies gas organic produce with chems after harvest so they don't ripen as fast. I just saw a video of a US produce terminal gassing organic Dole bananas after they received them.
I'm looking for pure cotton also so I'll probably post back.
FWIW, you can probably grow veganic (organic without animal fertelizers) cotton anywhere indoors and get balls in 100 days.
"Just so you guys know, not just related to ecigs, ORGANIC is NOT necessarily safer or better. Remember that DDT is organic, and its the only organic pesticide they tend to use on organic crops, and it is extremely unsafe. "Organic" stuff is a sham imo, just get some plain old cotton balls from CVS, no need to boil, and youll be just fine
Here is one article
Would you like some DDT with that organic cucumber? — High Country News
Now there is conflicting info all over out there, im just saying, its not proven or necessarily safer either way 
"
Even if a lab proves that a fully washed non-organic food is as safe as a veganic one, the air pollution alone from manufacturing the chemical fertelizers probably makes everyone less healthy.
Don't stand up for non-organic. They say organic tastes better and will eventually be the same price if not cheaper, so that should win anyone over regardless of their view.
That article says DDT can end up in organic produce if it's in the soil from before when a farm converts to organic. It's not added to the organic plants.
Organic agriculture is subject to many contaminants even though there are no chemicals sprayed on it. E.g a huge vapor trail from a jet with leaded fuel dropping lead everywhere, animal product fertelizers allowed to be used for organic farming and they
probably can be from factory farm animals pumped full of chemicals. Monsanto's GMO seeds can pollinate and blow down wind and ruin an entire organic farm, etc.
I honor your confidence, that over-thinking some things alone might make one sick, but when we look at it closely, this makes no sense.
Don't panic, it's veganic.
