Kendo Vape Cotton Gold problems...

There are still loads more to try - Fuzion, Vapor Royalty, Native Wicks.

I got some of this off FT. I don't know why, it looks like shit and is actually worse. If anyone has used this and knows some secret, please tell:


The best I ever had, also from FT, was Miracle Cotton but they've stopped selling it. I can only find it on a FB page which is in Chinese and the guy won't reply to my messages. I'm down to a quarter of a tin and it gets used exclusively in my Kayfuns.

WARNING: DONT USE THIS AS A WICK, HEALTH HAZARD

Don't use this as a wick, it contains activated carbon, you will potentially get an assortment of illnesses, known as black lung (ask the coalminers). I suggest mods that they remove this listing or at least put a disclaimer.

Somebody else on here said exactly the same. They had a pic of their juice sitting on top of the cotton that hasn't soaked even after a few minutes.
This was me. Posted pics of it.
Someone suggested pulsing at very low watts. I tried that and it eventually absorbed juice once the juice was warmed. Even this way took a while to get the whole wick wet.
Maybe a 1ml syringe of juice microwaved to prime with would make it quicker??? Lmao
Getting it to wick gave me a sense of achievement. But was all that faff worth the effort in comparison to cotton bacon?...... Nah, not for me. Kendo and i are done
 
@nialb79 . That is precisely what was happening mate, it would either just run off or just sit on top of the cotton and wasn't absorbing at all. Will try some of the suggested remedies and see what transpires if I ever get around to trying the Kendo again now llooll :D.

@allen . I tested it with a piss thin 20% VG as well mate, it wouldn't wick that up either lol.

@Ment. When I was previously searching for Kendo I was presented with options of that black cotton. Alarm bells immediately started ringing in my mind to stay well away and I avoided that one. You actually vaped it lol?? I bet that was funky!!??? Containing Carbon is some scary shit to be directly inhaling :eeek:. I bet some vapers see it and think "that's different, black Kendo, I'll have some of that", without so much as a thought of any adverse affects or issues!!

.........Aaahhhh hell, sod it lol. I've gone on a cotton spree to finally have a wide and varied choice of different more specialist cottons available instead of Cotton Bacon here and there and Muji doing the rest :D. It's time for a BIG change with my wicking and one that should very much be for the better and better vaping from it :D. Am sick of trying to find cottons piecemeal and it always being unavailable and out of stock when I search for it. Have ordered an absolute fuck load to sort this once and for all llooll :). Having loads of all of these different types of cottons stops me being tight with the cotton when I build as well and I tend to build MUCH better wicks if I'm not worrying about making it last or running out ;). That problem is certainly bloody solved now too, that's for sure ;).

Vapor Royalty and Fuzion are always a royal sod to get hold of, I've finally managed to track down some Fuzion in stock, was a PITFA though lol. Everytime I look for Vapor Royalty as well, all out of stock. Vapor Royalty site has ONE product in stock. "The Tank", a tank/RBA specialist which as it happens is something I really need for my RBA decks and trying a specialist cotton for this purpose could be ideal. The rest of Vapor Royalty are almost always out of stock though lol. Another website has some Vapor Royalty "The Native" version, got some of that too whilst they still had it lol. Got some Native Wicks coming as well.

If I don't use it for vaping I'll have enough to make a frikkin king size quilt :30::p:30:. If it's obviously clear I definitely won't use a specific type of the cottons I've ordered after extensive trials, I'll donate or sell it super cheap to someone starting out with building who's short on cash :D.

Vaping outlaws and Fibre Freaks works out at about a £1 a Muji sized pad lol. I'd rather spend the money on speculation of a load of different cottons you get a decent amount of for your money to be honest llooll ;).

The Kendo is probably now gonna go right to the back of the draw after all this pmsl.

If I hadn't of asked I wouldn't have been reminded by you guus to check if the others brands and types were in stock as well, so it's all good I guess ;). Problem solved in a slightly different and more expensive way lol ;). I have several drippers on the way from FT, so I've got a ton of atty's to try all this stuff out in and then pick the best one for my drippers and the best one for the RBA's for my tanks and then have some extra variety to try out with different liquids and builds too. Muji is taking a back seat from now on and I'll have enough damn consumables to easily last me well over a couple of years :D. I also have enough of all the various different wires here to fully fit a damned aircraft carrier pmsl ;).

Wires - Well covered
Fuzion - check
Vapour Royalty ( The Tank and The Native )- check
Native Wicks - check
Shake and Vape - check (First trial working well thanks :) ).
Kendo - check (Will probably now go unused hehe)
Muji - Hopefully will be retired lol.

Might as well vape with the best instead of just accepting Muji. I'm pretty handy with the Muji after using it for so long and it's actually done a good job, but it's definitely time for something better and different :). You buggers have parted me with another wad of cash again too :frustratedcomputer: :help: . I shall have my revenge :sinister::30:.
 
Vape Royalty is the shittest cotton ive tried so far, the only taste i got from it was wet cardboard, Fuzion has a weird taste at first but after a couple mls it goes away. Will throw another one in the mix, Texas Tuff looks and feels like Vape Royalty but doesnt give off any funky tastes, theres also TYV Fuzz but that seems to have mixed reviews. :D

Yeah... I told you I was a bit meh about the fuzz didn't I? I'm actually starting to like it more the more I use it. It still takes a little while to get any flavour through it, but boy does it last. I mean like 60 ml of dark 4 month old juice through it at 110 watts lasts. Good value for money in that respect [emoji848]

I know, I know...[emoji15]
S'alright though. I've got three setups running with it and it's lasting a lot longer than the Kendo. That Texas Tuff looks interesting too mind. You like it?
