Best cotton

[goodkidd]

Hi Im looking for recommendations to a good cotton that's great with high ohm builds (around 1ohm and over) reason I ask is a lot of cotton's like cotton bacon say it's great for low ohm builds! Any suggestions much appreciated.

If it says good for low ohm builds, I think that it is implying good wicking to keep up with potentially higher juice consumption.
If it is good for low ohm builds then it would also be grrrrreat for higher ohm builds too, which are generally less demanding.

I think i must have tried nearly all of them...but koh gen doh is the best imo. No beeding in. Has no funk after taste and wicks very well

The best cotton I have used is organic cotton pads, the cotton strands all go in the same direction and offer the best wicking whether in low or high ohms.

Obviously if you are vaping below 1 ohms more power is required resulting in higher temperatures resulting in more eliquid being used, but the organic pads can handle this quite easily as well.

But organic cotton pads I have found performs great with any settings as long as the right amount of cotton is used.

I have often used the Scottish roll method for this cotton and also making sure that the ends are combed, and I have never had any issues with wicking

I've tried cotton bacon but wasn't impressed at all, in my opinion is just a marketing gimmick to get you to pay over the odds for just plain cotton, slap on a fancy name and some people will buy it.

From Phil Busardo's wicking testing back in the days cotton was a new idea.... I believe that Koh Gen Doh cotton came out on top.

HERE appears to be selling it quite cheaply.

I just use good old Muji pads, the advantage with pads is you will get a consistent wick every time whereas with tearing lumps of cotton off a larger lump it's tricky to get consistently identical amounts of cotton every time, wicks fine, tastes ok and is cheap as chips.
£1.95 for 180 pads

Have you bough them recently (last 12 months)?  A couple of years ago there was some talk of them changing them for the worse and I have been using Puff pads since (have a stock).

No not in last 12 months, i do remember the complaints you are talking about though and from what i remember it was these ones people were having issues with, note the differences, different pack size, different sized pads and more importantly the ones in the smaller packs are described "basic pads" whereas the ones in larger packs are described as "soft unbleached".

If you decide to go for Cotton Bacon make sure that you get Version 2, the first one had a weird taste to start off with.
