A "mix". Rain to wet snow. High tomorrow around 37 ish. Depends on time of day.

Basically, "slop". :/ 60% chance. Not the same front you're dealing with.

hiya, tweety!

been checking out some domestic cotton - mamu developed a tightness in her chest with that japanese stuff and went on a search
Carolina Blend 200mm <her favorite out of the sample pack

I like Japanese organic cotton--never had a problem with it. Just got some cellucotton, AKA rayon, to try. Has she tried rayon?

 

[tiburonfirst]

i'm sure mamu has tried anything and everything under the sun

one of the reviewers for cottonman was dspin - he was also impressed!

hmpf - y'all asleep?

Been busy visiting the website.

Ordering a sample. I'd rather use our own domestic cotton, anyway!

 

[AttyPops]

Hi Katya.

Cotton was "OK" to me. It burned a bit for me. I think I over puffed on it vs wicking. Or got the wrong diameter coils/wick. Never go it to work perfectly. Was close a couple of times.

So that makes me worry that I over heat coils and produce "nasties".

Like I said before, worry wort.

 

[AttyPops]

Now I just use stock coils and do what most everyone else on the planet does....cross my fingers.

 

[Katya]

I hear ya, Atty!

I'm just experimenting with rewicking and rebuilding--my go-to atomizers are still stock coils made with silica rope wicks. Nothing wrong with those, if you ask me. And they don't burn.

 

[tiburonfirst]

how did tweety's post sneak in there?

 

[Katya]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat????

 

[tiburonfirst]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat????

see edit!

and now there's all kinds of posts showing up!

i refreshed, atty - i swear i did!

 

[Katya]

Oh, yeah, this has been happening here lately...

 

[tiburonfirst]

anyhow - here's mamu's post - wonder what info on the japanese cotton threw her

My son and I were using the Japanese cotton for wicking over these last months and loved it - awesome wicking and easy to work with. But we both started getting very noticeable shortness of breath and I also had a cough. My problem was I was battling pneumonia so thought mine was due to that, but when I was getting better my shortness of breath and cough were not.

We both stopped using the Japanese cotton and went back to the silica sleeving as a wick. Right off, no more shortness of breath or cough, so def the Japanese cotton was affecting us. But was bummed cause I like cotton for my Orchid builds.

I mentioned this to Dino Ferrari and he gave me a heads up on cottonman.com cotton for wicking. Cottonman was a recent guest on VPLive. If you have time, listen to that episode - the dude is awesome and very knowledgeable about cotton and is an organic cotton farmer. Cottonman also mentioned some tidbits about Japanese cotton that will freak you out lol.

Anyway, I bought Cottonman's sample pack. First to try was the angel hair organic bath. da-nada... didn't wick too good maybe I didn't pack it right, but it's not that easy to work with. Then tried the Carolina blend organic bath and I iz in love - gives a very clean taste to the flavor of my juice, awesome wicking, and easy to work with. On day 2 of the Carolina blend organic bath now and I am getting nom nom nom with the DNA40 TP mode using the Orchid with dual coil twisted 34g nickel wire and the Carolina blend organic bath.

And no more shortness of breath or cough. booya... life is good!

and that's all for today - frannie, stay warm and safe!

goodnight and sweet dreams

Well, I can use my Japanese cotton to remove my makeup.

Those pads are really lovely.
