Hi all I have some cotton balls that i boiled for around 20 mins and i'm currently letting them dry. They have been drying for around 8 hours so far. I have read some people say to let them dry for 24 hrs but my question is do i really have to wait that long? what would happen if i used them a little earlear? and also, any way to speed up the drying process? So anxious to try them in my kayfun lite :)

As long as they are not sopping wet it will be fine. If they are too wet then it will taste a little cottony until your juice replaces the water also won't produce as much vapor as a juiced soaked wick. some people put them in a microwave for a few seconds to dry out faster. Or you could tear off a small piece and spread it out to dry very quickly. with cotton you don't need very much.

It's a tiny bit moist. How long should i throw a piece in the microwave? around 15 secs?
