What cotton do u use?

[iowajosh]

I bought some cotton for spinning. I got tired of those short little fibers

I use organic cotton from Rexall. It says on the pack that it is bleached with H2O2 so I soaked it in distilled water and wrung it out and soaked it again a few times. It seems to have no taste and works well.

My bag says, "Studio 35 Beauty" from Walgreen's (Whatever that means). Wicks and vapes just fine. No boiling. No "fluffing". No boiling in Holy Water.

Same bag of cotton here. No boiling. I fire mine for 5-10 seconds after rewicking/1st drip. Tastes great!

started with cotton, them jumped on the degummed hemp fiber wagon, now using Ramie Fiber for all my wicking needs. IMO, both hemp and ramie are far superior to cotton. Wicks better, lasts longer, more heat tolerant. All fibers have their own unique characteristics, so there is a learning curve on densities and amount for each application.

For cotton, sterile and organic seem to be best. Are you wicking properly, have the correct densities through the coil? Some of the tastes you are experience could be shades of dry hits and or hot spots in the coil. When used cotton, would boil mine 30 minutes, otherwise got a cottony taste, and wick does take a few ml use before broke in and fibers fully saturated.

Boiled a few organic cotton balls, really enjoying them in an rda. In my kayfun clone though, through maybe 10 builds so far I'm getting a bad cotton taste. Done more cotton, less cotton, higher resistance, lower, can't get cotton working well in the KFL.

organic cotton from CVS boiled and sun dried.

Main thing with wicking the Kayfun is to fold the wick tails straight up while securing the outer ring. Then tuck the tails into the juice deck. This helps keep stray fibers getting caught in threads and blocking the juice channels.
