RBA vs pre-built - Please explain

[Simon G]

aye, it is a bit confusing. i use the organic pads because it seems better to avoid cotton that’s been sprayed with chemicals but you are right, in that maybe the bleached stuff is better as it will be less likely to have natural impurities. who knows.

yes you are right, cotton is an organic substance in the chemical sense but in this context, organic refers to farming methods used. it just means the crops have not been sprayed with toxic pesticides and fertilisers. legally, it needs to be certified by an approved body to be sold as organic.

yup, 100% ..... it's also better for bees, which ironically are essential for cotton pollination... so it's better not to kill them with pesticides on the crops you need them for.

The term "Organic" is just a selling point, the dictionary definition may be "something that's derived from living matter", but that's only got into the dictionary through misuse. Organic means "contains Carbon", pure and simple.

Even the use of the word organic, as it is now, is over-used and often wrongly. There's not one single organic farmer who can claim with 100% certainty that there's not been any run-off or air contamination from adjoining land.

Organic cotton is like Organic honey or vegan bacon, it doesn't exist. But it sells.

Hence why I already covered that in terms of how well it is cleaned to remove all those chemicals.

There's a huge amount of knowledge and testing that goes into selecting the best cotton for our purpose so the idea that one person on their own can come up with a better answer is a bit like hoping to win the lottery. It's simply not worth truck loads of my time just to try and shave a few pence off the cost.

All I have to do is decide which brand gives me the best result for my individual situation. Job done. Move on to the next thing that's a better use of my time.

i have no idea how well it is cleaned. but i think @Rickster is right. it’s some punter in a shed with a load of different cotton wool off the internet.

i agree it is a selling point, i don’t really care about it. it’s for hippies and middle class liberals.

however, there is a framework and regulatory bodies surrounding what can legally be described as “organic”. it is, in concrete terms, objectively different on the basis of rules around how it can be grown and what is used, and how it came to be. that’s just the reality of the situation.

it’s a bit like how you get eliquid that is called “apple” that has never been near an apple.

I think there's actually a lot of decent vape kit around today that we have thanks to people in sheds building coils and mods etc.

... and I thought I was cynical.

The problem is that large scale Industrialized farming has become so toxic to the environment and animals (including us) ... and that's why 'organic farming' is even a thing, it shouldn't need to be... it should just be called farming. Ideally all food we put in out mouths should be free from pesticides and harmful chemicals. Not to mention the damage they do to pollinators, local wildlife and anything that lives in that ground. We shouldn't even need to make that choice, it shouldn't be a 'selling point' and it shouldn't need a special name. The fact that it is just shows what a fucked up situation we are in.

Aye the foodstuff grown in labs is probably safer.... a chicken with a pigs ear on it's arse fur the dug will sell well

That would be great... half chicken half bacon. I could happily munch on that.
