That went in my bookmarks. Definitely a future purchase.

That's a great deal and I love Japanese pads anyway. Theses seem better than average.

Being a 13ft single strand it's a lot easier than pads and less waste. Again I've found it to be very, very soft.

Ah. It's a strand. How close is it to a 3mm coil outta the bag? Tearing strands is what I hate about cotton bacon.

I split it in 1/2 and it was perfect for 3mm. Try a bag, this is going to replace my Koh gen Do.

Probably worth a shot for 5 bucks. does it at least (unlike cotton bacon) tear evenly?

Also I believe this company makes pads also, but give a bag of the single strand a try. Splitting it worked out perfectly for me.

Did for me because of the long threads also the feel and texture is different than CB.

@r055co hey, I am still clipping rayon off the first little box I bought, and I have only barely managed to make a dent in my "Puff" organic jap cotton bag ;-) I got enough to PIF everyone I ever meet ;-P

I can't stand Rayon, gives me dry throat and tastes like shit. Yes I did do it right and used Sally's.

I stumbled across this, cheap so I thought I'd try it. Well Damn! Long thread, exceptionally soft, excellent absorption, very little break-in and super easy to work with.

I ordered some, I normally use cotton bacon V2, but for $5, it's cheap enough to give it a shot.

Glad I'm not the only one, so many rant how good rayon is, but I can't stand it, I get a funky taste from it,

Yep. I pretty much used Koh gen Doh for a very long time, big fan of it. CB and the rest wasn't all that impressed until CB Prime which I actually really liked and used it for some months. One thing I can't stand about CB is the pre-cut strips. Anyway I said what the hell and tried this, I've been really digging it so far.

Yeah I don't see the attraction to it, there is a definite taste to it. That and if you get a dry hit (it happens) it's the most gagging, vomit inducing, scrape your tongue experience there is. Also the so called "long lasting" and "performance" IMO is just crap. My coils will gunk up well before my cotton breaks down and good cotton will at least match to out perform rayon every time. I just don't get the rayon fanboy club, but hey what ever works for the individual ya know.

Amusing, since I get twice the life from rayon, and my wicks will crud up about the same time the coils need a brushing. <shrug>

Sometimes I use the one, sometimes the other - the atty tells me which it prefers.

Everyone is different and there are numerous factors involved so like I said it all comes down to what ever works for the individual.

Got my organic cotton from amazon today, and you are right @r055co this is good stuff, been using cotton bacon v2 for years now, and will say this is better, no break in and maybe in my head, but think the flavor is more pronounced too, still got a ton of cotton bacon, but will be using this organic cotton more for sure, it's cheaper and can get faster with free shipping from amazon, thanks for posting about it @r055co :)
