Mplough Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yeah or nay? All this talk about Japanese cotton. All the ones I see are just machined pads. http://www.thebodyshop.com/skincare/accessories/organic-cotton-pads-x-50.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoevapekins Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mplough Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishguy1123 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited December 18, 2014 by fishguy1123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compenstine Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishguy1123 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) Good luck Comp!

Compenstine Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Yeah or nay? All this talk about Japanese cotton. All the ones I see are just machined pads. http://www.thebodyshop.com/skincare/accessories/organic-cotton-pads-x-50.aspx 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 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushwick Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 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 Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Well it's certainly cheaper than $5-$11@ for cigars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
