Well, when you think about it ... ALL cotton is organic isn't it?
No true cotton is man made of course, so it has to be "organic".
The big question seems to be use of pesticides. Well that and bleaching and other processing (sizing, dyes, etc).

Right, organic is not a word I use much: should know better. Combed out is closer to the mark.


"Shiseido Facial Cotton is different. Each cotton flower is hand-picked to prevent damage to any fibers by Shiseido's exclusive cotton growers. This guarantees a stable supply of high quality cotton at all times.

Only long to medium fibers are used to make Shiseido Facial Cotton.

Regular cotton has short fibers and a smaller surface area for less absorption.

When liquid is added to this type of cotton it is too thick and offers little release of product. Shiseido Facial Cotton quickly absorbs and releases every drop of moisture back onto the skin.

So much technology in one small square!

Shiseido Facial Cotton is processed using a unique patented Super Water Jet Process. Fibers are uneven when the process begins and there is shedding of the surface fibers and roughness between the cotton layers. The fibers are put through a curtain of water but are not closely woven together until they pass under a high-pressured water jet stream. Then the surface appears flat and smooth with no shedding. Many sheets of cotton are closely layered together to constitute the 5mm thickness of one Shiseido Facial Cotton.

The long fibers enable delivery of the moisture to the fine ridges of the skin surface due to its multi-layered structure. The medium-long fibers give the right thickness for superior absorption and release of moisture with no excess "fluff" left behind even when using it to remove eye makeup.

If this much technology is in Shiseido Facial Cotton, can you imagine the technology in Shiseido Skincare and Makeup?"

"Safety label: Oeco-tex Standard 100

Shiseido Facial Cotton is recognized safe enough to use on a baby's skin. A safety label for textiles is on each package of Shiseido Facial Cotton. It guarantees substances harmful to health are not used during the manufacturing."

North of Detroit, way south of Heaven
Jackie's Radius fell off a TV tray onto the stone surface (2 feet) in front of the fireplace. Nothing happened to the Radius or the nautilus Mini glass tank but the 510 stem is bent and sits on the Radius crooked. Still works and doesn't leak. A P3 connection wouldn't have bent but that means it would've been a Kabuki and the glass probably would've shattered. :w00t:

Hobbs - Where do you find these bases for the nautilus?
It's not just the bases. Notice the pattern in the metal tank sleeve is different too. It's totally a P3 Nautilus from a special run. In fact, those P3 bases are not interchangeable with a 510 Nautilus. Won't fit. The chimney lengths are different too. Those are not the drip tips that came with the P3 Nautilus. The tips were straight sided.

I forgot all about those. I have a couple of them sitting in a box somewhere. I'm going to have to look for them when I get home.

I wonder what else I forgot about?:facepalm:
You are lucky to have grabbed a couple, they are collectors items now.

Pony with a horn ... 'bout as easy to find as a P3 Nautilus
Although there is a P3 ProVari and P3 Nautilus on the bay from a first time seller right now
Beware ... they are VERY "proud" of the setup. Says they're new but look used in the pics to me.
Well, the P3 ProVari looks used. Can't really tell from the pics about the Nautilus.

I was late to the party with the P3 connectors since I only had a Provari 2.5. After Provape closed, I managed to grab a Radius and P3 from our classifieds, thankfully before the drastic increase in prices being seen today on the bay. Looks like Kabuki could be in my future, if I want to take advantage of the P3 connection.

I think the right bottom fill is just as easy as a topfill and in some cases, better. Kinda depends on the tank design, really. I'm happier taking apart my Kabuki than trying to fill my N2, sometimes. It's equally as easy, if not easier not to overfill it, but I don't much care about bottom vs topfill anymore. At one point I might have, but there are often some really good reasons for bottom fill....
