OrgaNic cotton balls from any drug store. Koh gen do is at Nordstrom online among other places. Rayon at sallys beauty supply. Added the last one because that's what I use
I have to go to Sally's tonight to get some toner for my Lady's hair, maybe I'll pick up so Rayon too! Wouldn't have thought they would have it there!!
I'm prolly late to this party, but I picked up a bag of shiseido (165 pads for $10) from my local Macy's. Woman behind the counter told me that was selling VERY well, and they'd trained their staff as to why people were buying so much of it. {Note, I am a female, but I don't do cosmetics in any way, shape or form} No judgement - when I run out in about 2 years, I'll go back and get more 
Das Auto, they may call it cellucotton (if you haven't heard that term yet) I hear a guh-zillion foot spool for $10-15, or something like that.
Koh Gen Do all the way... the waybthe fibers are lined together allow maximum absorption channeling it straight to the coil...
I would recommend boiling the cotton (unless it's the kogendo) because my buddy bought some "organic" cotton balls, and about finished his build when he read on the back that they were bleached. I pulled a different bag from a separate store that had also said "organic" and found them to be almost identical. Couldn't find anywhere on the package that said bleached, either. Boiled them both, and dried em' overnight, and found they had lost alot of the snowy whiteness about them.

Organic is bleached with hydrogen peroxide not bleach.
Yes beauticians use it to go around the neck so they do not get chemicals down a patrons back. I have used it and was quite satisfied with it but I am just a KGD style gal although both saturated very well. A friend recommended this to me and I will order it next time I need some. It really goes a long way imo.

Just tryin' to help.
I'm still not sure if i'd like that getting into my lungs when vaped. But thanks for the info nonetheless. I had just assumed it was bleach, lol. Still glad I boiled my cotton, however.

It's not really a problem. I used it for 6 months. Only thing I hated was that cotton taste. I Might buy some kgd cotton.
I use KDO for my tanks and RDAs since learning about it. It really does wick better, especially for thicker juices IMO
Hydrogen Peroxide is H2O2. It's water(H20) with an extra molecule of oxygen. That's it.
Just an fyi fact. Cheers.
If you are looking at getting Cellucotton from Sallys make sure its the rayon fibers as they also make another kind that is reinforced cotton, I picked up a 3lb box for around $18 and its pretty much a lifetime supply.
just get some ... cotton guys... so much easier to use and taste is on point. check out Native Wicks and Cotton Bacon as well
The only bad thing I've noticed about rayon is the fact that the wick collapses instead of expanding.
I noticed that as well when I first starting using it but it hasnt been an issue with it properly wicking the juice and you cant beat the price for what you get.
