Muji cotton changed: new cotton needed

[SteveF]

As per the title, Muji seem have changed their organic cotton, going by their website they say that the product is the same but the quantity has changed.

Cotton pads made from soft, unbleached cotton. These are made in Japan and made from 100% cotton.

*Note*
The previous version of this product contains 140 sheets of the same product, please check the description in the code below.


I ordered 4 packs before Christmas expecting packs of 140 pieces and I recieved packs of 180 'ecru', a thinner pad that feels coarser.

I finished off my original pack of thick pads and have spent weeks wicking poor tasting drippers, new tanks have been major fails its just dry hit after dry hit and crap flavour.

I've been cursing a TFV deck for three days, totally unable to get sufficient or even wicking, that was until I used the stuff supplied in the kit. Totally different, soft, silky and actually absorbent.

So I'm looking for a good quality cotton wick,  preferably pads for conveniece but bear in mind that I re-wick drippers daily, tanks as soon as the flavour drops or changes.

Cheers Steve

I have only used Rayon for about 18months now and its perfect. Never burns, no dry hits and for me its just a perfect wicking material and lasts forever.

I used to use rayon all the time. Does the production process of it not worry you?

I noticed they changed the quantity didn't realise the pads were different though, thankfully i have 5 packs of the old 140 pad packs.
I've heard the Puff pads are very similar to the Muji pads, never tried em myself though.

Seems to be the case at least with the bags I have, it soaks up but the juice doesn't seem to flow. Over the last couple of weeks I've been pulling my hair out, I've  given up on a billow and a crius and have been dreading the arrival of a couple of Griffins.
 The only ones that wick with it are my subtank RBAs and I've drilled the holes on those out to 4mm so even the worst wicks will vape.

I can vouch for the puff pads linked by Get Off My Cloud, never had any issues with wicking with them. Reminds me I must grab another bag.

I've got puff pads there alright but I use cotton bacon I've found it works well

[thebishman]

Ive used puff pads too. I found it gave a slight funny taste to the vape. Wicked bloody well though

I've some of these on the way . . . .

I'm going to try a few different brands that way I'm bound to find something that suits my taste.
clicked on some pads, cellucotton, a pack of ken doh, even ordered some cotton bacon.

[drunkenbum]

I pretty much just use cotton bacon these days. Seems to wick alot better than muji and the flavour is good

X1 for Cotton Bacon v.2----like this a lot,
got me a bag of the Puff thru Amazon not long ago-took a while to come from Japan.
You do get a lot for your money though-
Use Fibre Freaks also in type 1 and 2 that,s also good and even after a couple of weeks in an Atlantis re-built coil @29.5 watts came out clean...couldn,t believe it.
And Rayon---------too.
LOL this wicking material is a bit of a minefield .........still not decided my numero uno.  but will stick with Cotton Bacon v.2 for now.
I think for me the flavour comes thru quicker in the Bacon with no funky taste for the first few toots............
Arhhh choices,choices.........hmmmm
