I have noticed a few reviewers use what looks like dirty cotton wick and always wondered what wick it was... well I have been sent a tin of it by Péter Sárközi from KHW Mods (Dvarw Man) and it's Mavaton X organic cotton made in Edenton North Carolina in the US.

I have delayed testing it because it looks funny compared to TFC... I thought I would test it because Péter asked me if I had tested it yet...

It's difficult to work with compared to the highly processed cotton like TFC and CB etc... but I wicked up a Dvarw DL with it and am giving it a go. I really expected to dislike it and maybe get a cotton taste from it... but there is no cotton taste and no break in which was surprising... the flavour I'm getting is really good... and seems to be on par with the best.

I will see how it performs over a couple of days but I can say it's yet another option to use for sure.

So that's where my old sock went to!
 
What are all them dirty bits in the cotton?

Surely it is not a the healthiest option out there to have some bit of 'dirt' potentially pressed up against a coil during your vape or leaching who knows what into your juice?

Maybe I am over-thinking it, but it just seems gross.

That was my thoughts exactly when I opened the tin... those "bits" are parts of the cotton seeds and part of the natural organic cotton at a best guess. And the part that is really boggling me is that the flavour is really really good... I can't quite put my finger on it yet but this Mavaton X Organic cotton is unlike any wicking material I have tried before... and just for the record, I hate Japanese Cotton which most people swear by... I get a horrible cotton taste from it... and this Mavaton has none of that taste...

I'm on tank refill number three and the taste is still 100% on point.
 
All i can think is that this is before the bleaching process that we get in commercial cotton like CB which does sound healthier.
However, those seeds do bother me
 
I think this is what I'm looking for. I've always said I wish I could get raw unprocessed cotton to use and this may be it. Uncle @Rob Fisher, please let us know you final thoughts on this. I'd like to give this a try.

@zadiac I'm really really impressed with it... my daughter does the testing of my gear because she has a fantastic palate and identities components in juices and really nails juice tests. I did a blind taste test with her on two identical setups with different wicks and she chose Mavaton X by a large margin... I thought I was imagining things and she confirmed the fact that the berries and litchi were way more prominent!

True,that is what cotton really looks like after brushing it and just before processing.
Wouldn't be bad to try it.
 
Had a long time vaper at my place today and he wicked a few of his go-to setups with Mavaton X today... was so interesting to watch his face... the same face I made when I tested it... surprise and WOW! He went off with a sample of it to test some more but there is no question that it's a real boggler to take the funky cotton like that can get that extra flavour from a setup you thought was as close to perfect as it can get.

Hi. Did you receive delivery as yet? just curious as to turnaround time, and whether they send via normal post or DHL etc?
looking at grabbing a few tins or bags to try it out.

Maybe if a few of us can club together we can split the shipping costs as this does sound interesting and I would like to try a tin of it myself.
 
I shipped to my MyUS account in Florida and they were very quick on shipping. After trying a small tin I ordered the large bottle.

lol......I actually forgot about it......hahaha.(I'm weird that way) I'll go check on the status of the shipment and comment here again.

Edit: Well now. There's no place to log into the website to check previous orders and I have never received any shipping information from them via e-mail. I only have my paypal receipt to prove that I paid them. The "Contact Us" page on the website doesn't exist. I have sent an e-mail asking for a tracking number, but since it's a very small order, they'll probably ignore me. Seems a bit suspicious to me.

Well, I got a response from cottonman.com and a tracking number. My order is still floating on the USPS network and left the US on the 23rd of December. That's where the tracking stops and I have no idea where my package is or if I'm even going to get it.

Had this issue with other stuff in November.
Still hasn't arrived. Tracking status last said it was within the 'partner network' or something like that.
Suspect it arrived in SA and got into our postal abyss.
