It just isn't that good. Shizen is better.

According to several juice makers in my area, not just my opinion, Koh Gen Do has a taste. They also think it is harder to use. They use Shizen Japanese Cotton for their tasting of new flavors and for their builds. They just take a pair of scissors, cut the cotton to the width they need for the micro coil build, slid it through the coils, trim the ends and they are done.
After talking with them, I picked some up at a local B&M and tried it. No taste from the cotton and easy to use.
Just my observation and theirs.

I've found no off taste with Kami

I have Rayon, some people say it has a taste, but I did not experience that. But I found it harder to use than say rolled cotton balls from Swisspers. I have found Japanese Cotton sheets easiest and quickest to use. Most Japanese cotton sheets are stranded in one direction, especially the water woven ones. Cut in the stranded direction, to the width needed and pull through the micro coil. No need to twist or roll like you need to with cotton balls, even rolled cotton balls. Some Japanese cotton sheets just kind of fall apart, when you go to use them.
I have tried a lot of cotton balls(my wife will never run out of them now), cotton yarn, Japanese organic cotton yarn, Japanese organic cotton sheets, cotton butchers twine(some people pass this off as 3mm organic cotton wick), organic cotton twine, flat braided cotton wick, square braided cotton wick, twist cotton wick, etc. I won't say Shizen is the best. But it is easy to work with, has no taste and when I partially melted the insulator in my Orchid and the switch head in my Roller, the cotton was not burnt. Besides, after the juice makers told me about it, that kind of worked for me.
I have found it in a few shops around Long Beach, CA., so I don't have to order something unknown to me, online.

I've been happy with Cotton-labo at 200 for $10. Haven't actually used KGD 'cause I couldn't get any at the time. Rayon is fine (that big box will last several lifetimes) but has a narrower sweet spot than cotton and is a little harder to handle due to it's fly away tendencies. Getting the density correct with rayon is essential. If you can taste the rayon then it's not right.
hilarious.. lol... A beauty supply store sells fine cotton,, cotton sold out... Vape reviews and comments mixed in with the beauty makeup reviews ... The beauty store customers must see that and think, "what the heck is all this vaping stuff they're talking about ?"
