Its a brand of cotton sold to vapers. Not a term, its a product.Hmm.....you know, those cotton rounds could be cut in strips like the Japanese organic. Might hit Wally World for some of those and try it out.
Perhaps a stupid question, but where did the term "cotton bacon" come from?
Haha! Ok chief.the studio 35 or the maxim you hear grimmgreen talk about is where its at in the cotton ball game... other than that get some cotton bacon
Ah, I get it.....Unroll a cotton ball and you'll get the 'bacon' reference.

I would recommend only using the organic cotton balls from the drug store as they're only treated with hydrogen peroxide in order to whiten them. What has been done to the regular cotton balls is uncertain. Some choose to boil them, some don't. I don't. It's really up to you.So you need to boil drug store cotton ball before use in an atty?
this... but there is plenty of cotton dedicated to vapers ... this would be the best route...I would recommend only using the organic cotton balls from the drug store as they're only treated with hydrogen peroxide in order to whiten them.

But why though? They boil it for you? Fancy packaging? I think you've been had by a marketing scheme, but I could be wrong. Is there a reason it's better?this... but there is plenty of cotton dedicated to vapers ... this would be the best route...
Where can I get Japanese cotton LOCALLY is there anywhere else besides a vape store?The Japanese organic cotton pads have really long strand cotton that runs the length of the pad. You cut a thin strip length wise which makes for fantastic wicking, no discernible cotton/peroxide taste, and easy coil insertion. No short and curlies to divert the juice and snag on the coil. I highly recommend the stuff.
In other threads on VU, Cotton Bacon is reported to be dental cotton unrolled and boiled for you already. Cool name, cool they sell it at B&M vape shops, cool if you rather not boil it yourself, but rather expensive for dental cotton. If you watch the video on their website you can see it is not long parallel strands like the Japanese cotton.
Koh Gen Do is the Japanese cotton brand I use and I love it. They sell it on Amazon and reportedly at the make up counter at Nortstrom's.
Short answer, yes, you can use drug store cotton. Just boil and dry it first.
Since there isn't a demand for it other than vaping, a vape shop would likely be the only place you might get it without ordering online. No need for it at places like Walmart, drug stores, etc.Where can I get Japanese cotton LOCALLY is there anywhere else besides a vape store?
The cotton balls at CVS and Walgreens claim to be organic so yes, I'd use then.Since there isn't a demand for it other than vaping, a vape shop would likely be the only place you might get it without ordering online. No need for it at places like Walmart, drug stores, etc.
Hahaha...lmao.....Wait for a second and back the truck up. Are people really skimping on cotton due to cost after spending how much money for mods and atty's? I'm all for seeking out a good deal but cotton is literally the cheapest thing one can purchase for rebuildables.
Never mind, I see the door so I'll just show myself out.
Do I have to use the cotton they sell at vape shops or can I just go buy some cotton at walmart or a drug store?
Love Koh gen Dobuy 80 sheets of Koh Gen Do for $12 on Amazon. You can get a good 5 wicks from 1 sheets. that 400 wicks!
