Cotton question

[Mplough]

Yeah or nay? All this talk about Japanese cotton. All the ones I see are just machined pads.

I'd give it a try. But for the price of those war paint removers I'll stick to my good old cotton balls. Been using the same bag for well over two years

Well I was going to try to build an E-Hookah with an 18.4 Makita battery, a machined stainless 8 Oz custom tank and tampons for wicking.

Seriously though, found a vid on how to rewick stock Atlantis coils, they call for the flat stuff.

[fishguy1123]

I'd guess for a vertical coil build it would help. You have to run the (top) lead down protected from contacting other metal surfaces.

I'm going take a shot at rebuilding the Atlantis coil with cotton ball cotton. You can unroll it and get a flat piece to work with.

Good luck Comp! From the looks of it, the form and texture looks like it would save a ton of sanity points useing japanese cotton... lol

Will do I want to see if I get a flavor change as well to see if it is a coil-wicking issue with the flavor loss.

For the trouble of using cotton-balls, organic or otherwise (inconsistencies, flaws, lumps, etc.), I switched to Japanese Cotton pads, and couldn't be happier... 5cm by 6cm pads, 200ct bag, from Amazon for ~ $7. I pull one out, cut a strip, feed it through the wick, trim, assemble, vape... couldn't be simpler, and the flavor and wicking is fantastic.

[Compenstine]

I'm going to get me some here shortly. I just don't want to pay the cost of the KDJ. I'll go with your suggestion on the $7 bag from amazon for sure.

I gave in to the whole "Japanese Cotton" thing and bought a couple packs of Samurai Cotton at VapeCon. I gotta say, I absolutely love this stuff. No weird flavors, wicks well, and the whole flat pad thing makes cutting the right amount of cotton just so easy! I won't be going to back to cotton balls any time soon. They are doing a x-mas thing where I will be able to get 3 for the price of one. I just shared a photo of theirs and they sent me a code. at $3-4 a pack, you can't go wrong. I'm still using the same two packs I got at the convention. And I rewick every day.

[Mplough]

Well it's certainly cheaper than $5-$11@ for cigars.
