Best cotton

[STX]

Hello all, I recently ran out of Cotton Bacon V2 and I had some Koh Gen Do lying around and I have to say this stuff is terrible so far. I also have some Firebolt as well and I don't like it much either, because it doesn't hold up very well; I kept getting dry hits and ultimately burned it out of the coil on accident. I had no clue cotton was such a big deal until I tried inferior brands.

Anyway, what cotton do you all like best for flavor, durability, longevity, and ease of use? Let me know which brand and why so I can go ahead and get me some!!!

You'll get alot of different answers, it's all subjective, here's mine:
1 Dat White Stuff, hard to find now.
2 Cotton Bacon Prime
3 this stuff

I use mostly Rayon in rda's, but that's a different animal...

I still have maybe 10 years worth of cotton bacon V2.

Is the Cotton Bacon Prime that much better?

Maybe you could sell me some?

Vs v2 ? Can't say, never used V2 or the OG. Google cotton bacon v2 vs prime and you'll get 1000 different answers, lol.
Just have to try a few and see what works best for you.

I used CB, CBv2, and Prime. Still use Prime a few yrs now, best of those 3. You'd like it better than V2. Want a sample?

I found something I like and never really ventured out for something diff. Had some strings for mesh and coils but wasn't as good for me.

I'd like to try rayon, esp if I had a sample loll....

I find cb to have a taste to it even after break in that u either notice or u dont (kinda like ni80)

Cotton Bacon V2 and Dat White Stuff, mostly

Have used rayon from time to time, but I'm just more comfortable with cotton.

 

[Vape Fan]

There was, maybe still is, some fake CB around. There was a way to tell by the ink on the pkg.

Drop your addy in PM and it's done, lol.

Some say they can taste rayon, this or that cotton, so 1000 different answers. Sometimes I think I taste nickel, sometimes I don't....

Alot of people say that Kendo gives the best flavor. I haven't tried it but will now that I've looked around a bit.

So, cotton is cotton, right?

I've seen similar threads across multiple forums asking if you can use cotton balls or rolls of cotton instead of the samurai farmed Japanese organic cotton from Ninja groves. Lots of the threads seem to state that normal cotton contains bleaching agents. H2O2 mainly which isn't really a concern...

Good thread until it goes off off the rails, lol. 5150 has some pics up of the fake CB.

Naah we are exact duplicates in every way of those we replace on this planet. No need to go sneaking around. I would not recommend that humans do an recreational ballooning though

And OT NO Rayon for me. Dry hits on cotton are bad enough. With Rayon they are like breathing the atmosphere of Venus.

Still like the organic Muji cotton pads, although I might try some of that "13 Feets" stuff too. Keep thinking I'll eventually twist some rayon and cotton together to try a blended wick. For some reason, I suspect @The Cromwell using some kind of anti-progress (congress) ray, I never do actually do that.

Maybe I'm just too lazy, too. *chuckles*

ETA: Actually tried it sitting here. Did not use as wick. Twisted cotton & rayon together, though. See, to do it right, a person would need to use a technique used with fleece.

You'll have to "card" them together. The fibers of each just are not receptive to bond together by simple twisting. Carding them together would "open" the fibers of each, letting them bond.

No, I'm not talking about molecular level stuff. This is just basic common physical material stuff. The two fiber types just seem keen to repel each other.

Using "cards" like below would let the fibers open and come together.

Anybody has worked up fleece into wool more than likely will understand the process. Once you get both together, then yes, you can twist or "spin" it together as one "thread/skein". It will, then, stay together too. Otherwise, you can twist it up together all you want, but it will pull itself apart. That makes it untenable to work with for making wicks.

I mainly use CB prime or V2 but bought quite a few other brands to see and so far I've liked hellvape (laces or lump) and COTN lump.

Also can't go wrong with koh gen do or muji and I have a very large box of rayon that's still half full that I may finish one day or send samples to let people that haven't tried it try it
