Organic Cotton

Thanks for the medal @Matthee - I might be a sparky, but not always bright! From time-to-time I do suffer from MENTAL CONSTIPATION.
 
It will work, however as someone else said previously boiled-dried cotton doesn't wick as good as unboiled cotton.
The difference really is imperceptible, to me there is zero difference between the wicking capabilities of boiled vs unboiled cotton. But I'm sure if you're going to measure it scientifically, there might be a miniscule difference though.

I have found some 100% pure cotton wool (free of any additives) at my local pharmacy, it is a TransAid product, so for medical use. I have not boiled it, used straight from the packet in my Kayfun 3.1, first vape had a odd taste, it has been great for VTF. On my second tank in the Kayfun with the same cotton build and performance is still the same (VTF), great for lung hits. But I think I will be changing the cotton after this tank.

This was my first build with cotton.

My preference:
1: Silca (in Triton (dual coil) and IGO-W3)
2: Cotton (in Kayfun)
3: Mesh (in Kracken (dual coil) and RSST)

This could change after I have done a couple of more builds.
 
@ShaneW do you know any local places that sell the organic cotton? Can only find the pads from dischem.

Haven't looked, I just grabbed some of the wifes normal cotton wool and boiled the crap out of it.

But ya, you in wrong aisle bud ;)
 
just ask them for cotton wool.

or cotton balls
 
At Dischem i found the organic balls near the first aid stuff
 
Nope. In MY Isle (;)) with all the other 100% pure cotton were the organic "pads". One other pharmacy I'm going to try.

Has anyone tried pure sheep wool? Can it be used? It's not hard to come by. 100% pure Merino wool, unspun and and undyed. Just a thought. I have no idea.

Not that I know of, but I know the smell of a "skaap kraal" :rolleyes:
 
I think the problem with sheep wool is contamination from various sources such as feces and treatment for parasites. Therefore organic would be a no go, and the clean wool would be harshly treated with chemicals. Plus there is something about inhaling an animal's hair that doesn't sound right to me
 
I suspect the burning point of wool is VERY low. I will bet it will produce the most vile tasting vape of all time!
Think about the smell of feathers burning. Nothing like burnt Fauna vape in the morning... :-D
 
I think you gonna choke bad mate! We braaied lambs tails with wool on, eish that smell I will never forget. With this all your juices will taste the same I reckon ... burnt!
 
Your arguments make sense. Thanks for the replies. I'll stay away from the wool then.....lol
 
Lol, reminds of growing up and shoving horse tail hair into my dads ciggies and see what shade of green he'll turn.
 
A little bit of a thread revival seeing as cotton is so last year :p but I am out of rayon!

I just wanted to share the awesome satisfaction one gets when putting a fresh piece of cotton on your atty.

With work distracting me yesterday, I had forgotten to give my atomic a fresh new piece of cotton. Not to mention that I had almost become accustomed to switching out wicks every 3 days or so when I had rayon. Unlike rayon, I find cotton needs to be replaced on the daily.

Throughout the course of the day I felt I wasn't enjoying my vape as much as usual. I came home with every intention of swapping for another flavour.

I removed the cap of the atomic and quickly realised my wick needed replacing. Within seconds, the new wick was in and I was back to vaping bliss! :rock:

A bit of a random story, but I just felt like sharing the satisfaction it gave me :p
