Which do you prefer, cotton or silica?

I've never boiled any of the cotton I've used, even when I was using qtips and cotton wool balls originally. The cotton pads I use now would just fall apart if I boiled them. I have used them on an open cut when I didn't have any plasters big enough and I'm still alive Plus a lot of sterile mouthwashes contain some hydrogen peroxide too. I still feel 100% better vaping and that's all that really matters to me

It really sucks being stranded at work, but at least I have you all to keep me company/busy.

We're here for you.

Q-Tips make excellent, although more expensive substitutes. Peel a bit of cotton off the tip, being careful to not pull it all off, don't want to get any of the adhesive in there... and you're good.
I always keep some Q-Tips in my kit for cleaning the hard to reach areas around the 510 connection.

I brought my dripper in to work with me a week or so ago, and I was getting ready to drip a few more drops into it, the phone rang, I set it down on the desk, and didn't realize that I had not locked the fire button...

Yeah, the cotton in there died an untimely death...

I didn't have any cotton with me, but fortunately the 1st aid kit had sterile cotton swabs in it.
