Review Cotton Bacon

[scootlandt35]

Picked mine up, at my own expense, through Vapor-Z for £4.50, which is around the same price they charge for their packs of pads of cotton.

What is it?

It's definitely not bacon, unfortunately. Nor does it taste of bacon. In fact, it doesn't taste of anything at all, which I'll get to shortly.

It comes packed as 10 strips in a nice re-sealable zip bag. Each piece is about 1" wide by about half as deep and 6" long, packed more loose than pads and should last around 10 wick changes (depending on size, length etc) It's pure white but not smooth combed like pads, there are little lumps of white in there too! Looks very clean, although it doesn't look quite like some of the organic, unbleached pads.

How do you use it?

Tear off a portion, roll the end and wick. Same as you would with cutting a strip off a pad. Takes a while to get used to how much you need since it's so much looser than a pad.

What's it like?

EPIC! It wicks like a wick-ed wicky thing. And I packed out my RBA, more so than usual, and absolutely NO taste of cotton. NONE! No more cotton taste for the first few pulls on a re-wicked RBA or RDA, just pure taste from the off! I love this stuff! Like I said, takes a bit of getting used to with how much to use, and it's easy to tear a full length off then split in two if you're only runing one coil. Good value for money in my opinion. And I've not had one dry hit since wicking!

If you're in Preston just get yourself over to Tan at Vapor Z in Bamber Bridge. Save yourself a wait and cost of postage

Thanks, I'll check it out. for B & Ms I've tended just to call in the vapour room (opposite fishergate centre) and vamp on Plungy. Don't get to Bamber Bridge much but I'll take a trip out on your recommendation

Only take the fiver for the cotton bacon or I GUARANTEE you'll walk out with stuff you didn't go for

I just tried some cotton of the pig on my Sophia, not the best wicking machine out there with its narrow juice channel.
Managed a 6s draw before coughing like a teenager on a Woodbine.
No dry hit.
This stuff wicks very well indeed.
Love it.

I tried CB, first time was good. Next few times were not good. Figured eventually that the strip I was using had managed to get dirty even though it looked clean. Throw out a few strips and since then no problems. Wicks extremely well and good overall performance, wish it was cheaper though. Keep CB in a plastic box, seems to keep it clean and easy to use.

I mite have to try this stuff after I finished with this fiber freaks which is the best I have tried to date! Also I agree every time I go to vapor-z I always come out with more than I went in for take a trip down to their Leyland shop and you can grab a brew or something to eat while you are there in their vape/cafe lounge.

Is this just the Preston meet thread?? Haha.... I'll second cotton bacon being some amazing stuff, after scootlandt35 gave me some of his to try out. Definitely gonna go and buy my own when I get chance....

South Coast Vaper sent me some of this to try. It's great stuff. At the moment I used Japanese Cotton in the tanks and CB in my RBAs. Works like a charm.
