I've been using organic cotton balls never boiled, no problems, funky tastes so far.

As long as your hands are clean when handling it, I doubt there would be a problem.

I use Japanese cotton sheets or organic cotton balls from cvs never boiled and no problem. Hydrogen peroxide is just water with an extra oxygen molecule so i dont see how is harmful, h2o2. The cotton balls are washed with water after the peroxide bath anyways.

i use organic cotton. i used to go to my favorite shop and get their branded organic cotton but i've since grown tired of buying an 1/8 ounce bag for the price of a bag full at CVS like some have said. Never boil the balls; i boiled my bags from the vape shop a few times, i didn't see a difference and didn't like the time i spent boiling cotton.

I have a friend who owns a juice line and he swears by cotton bacon, I have yet to try it but he tells me it's a must, he says no boiling and it tastes great. I think you can grab a big bag of it on Ebay or Amazon for cheap. Anyone here try it? I'll pull the trigger if it's something i'm truly missing out on.... I'll stick to the organic balls of cotton if not!

Yes I first started with cotton bacon.it is very good,easy to pull apart and get the right amount. Although it does have a taste to it but that only last a few draws.with any cotton you have a break in period but cotton bacon seams to hang on to the cotton flavor a little longer.I do still use it,I keep it in my vape go bag and my EDC because its quick and easy to use.but I wick with organic at home so I have time to get it just right.over all its good stuff,but not worth what it goes for in shops.

I'm using organic Muji Japanese cotton from fasttech $7.53 for 140 squares. https://www.fasttech.com/products/2080201 I don't boil and the only funky taste has been when I've scorched or burnt it (burnt cotton isn't yummy btw )

You can also get your Japanese cotton direct from the Muji store http://www.muji.us/store/skin-care-1/skin-care-tool/cut-cotton-ecru.html for $2.50, but unless you live close to a store (locations in NY and Calif), there's $6 shipping on top of that (cheaper than fasttec if you're buying 2+ bags, but not if you're only buying one)

I don't know for sure what effect it's having but I would stay away from any agricultural products coming out of Japan for the next 10000 years or so. Fukushima meltdown will be contaminating everything coming out of Japan forever, basically forever.
