I've been at my moms house for a couple of days now and I forgot my cotton at home... My first instinct was to use my tank but then I realized I have my tank but somehow forgot my drip tip at home. My rda needs cotton badly and I feel like I am wasting all of my juice. What duh heck do I doooo? :|:|:|:|:|

edit: there is no way I will I will make it to a vape shop anytime soon

you can get organic cotton balls at any almost drug store or if there is a sally beauty near by they have both organic cotton and rayon, most beauty supplies do
Yeah I was also thinking the same thing. 20 mins ago I went to walmart and searched the entire store only to find nonorganic balls :(. Do organic cotton balls work nearly as well as Japanese cotton?

i'd just use the cotton balls. if you're worried about them, wick them, soak them up, and fire them a few times to almost dry before reassembling the tank to "wash" them a little bit. i wouldn't worry too much, though, i've used non-organic cotton before without any problems.

to be completely honest, one time i was really desperate and used some paper towel as a wick... definitely don't recommend doing that though.

The only legitmate difference between organic cotton balls and regular cotton balls is how the cotton was grown.

Does your Mother not have cotton balls in the house? I bet she does, and she just might even give you a couple if you ask.
I just said .... it and used cotton balls no boiling and they seem to be wicking way better then my old japanese cotton. I have sheets of the good stuff at home so ill just use this until then.
