Regular cotton for wicks

[beckdg]

sterile;
1) infertile
or
2) containing no living organisms

sterile does not mean free from chemicals.

organic does not mean free from harmful substances. DDT for example, is an organic toxin used heavily as pest control before it was banned.

h202 (hydrogen peroxide) breaks down to h20 and 02 when exposed to water within a minute. if peroxide was the bleaching agent used for cotton, boiling wouldn't make a difference and nearly nobody would notice a difference between simply wetting it for a minute and boiling let alone boiling once vs. thrice.

i've done organic. i've done sterile. i've boiled. i've not boiled. let me tell you. not only does koh gen do wick much better and it's easier to work with... but until i used koh gen do, i didn't notice the taste the other cottons were imparting on my vapor. it's night and day. you'll be a believer once you make the switch.

The only problem is taking my wife to Sephora...go in for cotton and leave with a bunch of other stuff

Ive been using White Cloud cotton ball or Peaches and Cream yarn. I do not boil either, and the White Cloud has a lot of flavor for the first short period, but then works amazing. The Peaches and Cream has very little flavor at first which also goes away. Ive tried other cotton balls and those are the products ive had the best luck with

I use the organic cotton balls from Walgreen's..... Never boiled them though. Many people do and if you have the time and feel like you need to do this, by all means go ahead.

I might stop by sephora and see if they carry it in the store

OMG YES please don't go without me!!! I will only get necessities

I boil. Why? The thought of an open package of P&C yarn sitting on the shelves made me. Who knows where peoples hands have been. Better yet who knows how many rats have climbed all over it.


Bummer.

I do like the peaches & cream yarn. Boiled it once, don't bother anymore. Consistent diameter is nice. Great for kayfun wicks.

I always use organic cotton, never boiled it. I do have some Peaches & Cream I bought, still sitting on the shelf, this thread is convincing me to try it...

I use Cellucotton.

Do you use the 100% Cotton or the 100% Rayon Fibers version of CelluCotton?

I got organic cotton from CVS AND I boil it. Not hard to do and worth the small about of time it takes for the 5 years worth of wick..

I love Peaches and Cream! Never had a flavor problems and very easy to wick. I use glue on one to get it to a point and then just slip it right through.

I use Cellucotton.

I just picked up the cellucotton (rayon) and really like it

I believe "100% all natural" cotton is the same as organic, am I correct?

No, the word "organic" on products is regulated by the government, other claims are not.
