Cotton Bacon V2

[J.D. Merchant]

I just started using Cotton Bacon V2 switching over from MUJU but ready to just switch back. I have read a million times how great it is and a pure juice taste. The problem I'm encountering is I wicked three RDA's, two on mechs one on a regulated. Then a RTA on a regulated and keep getting a strong cotton taste which is effecting the taste of my juice. juice that was fine with the MUJU so I'm terribly confused what's going on????

weird. Did you saturate the cotton with ejuice before vaping it?
I always get cotton taste from Cotton Bacon v2 for first few puffs (2-3 puffs), after the initial "break in", it always works great.

I have used cotton bacon for a long time and I notice a slight break in period but it usually goes away after a few puffs for me. I would need to see pictures to give some sort of insight.

I have the same issue using cotton bacon V2. It seems dry and leaves a cotton taste. I have a box of Cellucotton, i.e. 100% rayon I'm trying now. I don't notice any dry aftertaste with the rayon but I'm still trying to get a nice wick with it as it seems to shrink up quite a bit.

I think that just as juices is personal preference, so is wicking. I switched to Cotton Bacon V2 and it works well for me, better than Japanese cotton. I also tried rayon that others swear by, but I didn't care for it. It seems to all just come down to preference.

I didn't care for rayon either and I like the muju cotton. Haven't tried the cotton bacon for fear I wouldn't like it and I hate wasting $$ since I found what works for me.

A bad batch of cotton? what's that like?

I really like the cotton bacon. I did try the muji but when I wrote to ask them they said it wasn't organic (may 14) so I stopped using it. Not sure if they've changed this now as I do see suppliers saying it's organic

Thanks guys when received the pack had a razor slice in it I guess from when they opened the case. No telling how long it set exposed and was told that's probably why opened the second pack and no problem. The shop owners is replacing the pack that had been exposed and was told once opened put it in a zip lock bag?

Didn't you ever get a cotton t shirt, and after one wash it was three sizes smaller?

@J.D. Merchant I hope the replacement works out for you. I don't know about storing in a zip loc although that would keep it clean. I usually just have mine sitting in the bottom of my build kit. It works and tastes fine, but maybe I should be storing the same way.

I switched from Japanese cotton to Cotton Bacon a while back. It works for me. I also like Native Wicks Platinum, maybe a little better even, because I seem to have less waste. With either one, whatever cottony break in taste there is, is gone in a couple puffs.

Cellucotton is totally different to wick than cotton. Unlike cotton that expands when juiced so the juice travels in the fiber the cellucotton the juice travels on the outside the fiber so it doesn't expand. You make it tight in the coil then you thin the tails for best juice flow. If wicked right you get no breaking taste. Rayon is great wicking that outlasts cotton, I been using the rayon for over 2 years now and have had great vaping with it. Just don't wick it like cotton, much more tighter in the coil.

Thanks fof the tips. I'll keep using it because even though my wick shrank up and looked pitiful it still worked with no aftertaste. I'm not sure how well it's wicking as I'm using a dripper.

I've yet to try rayon, been reading about it, but still not sold.

Question: what if you'd combine Rayon and cotton together, anyone tried that ? just so that they both balance each other up.

To the OP.. CB v2 user here, have various Japanese cotton too, and I find that as long as it's decent stuff and wicked right, the cotton taste always goes away after a couple of puffs.

After running into problems with wicking I switched to Native Wicks cotton and have been doing great with it. A cotton taste, new one to me.

anyone tried Kendo Cotton Gold?
the price is pretty steep, twice than cotton bacon here. Wonder how good it is.
