Comparison of five commonly used wicking cotton vape
The vape Cartomizer is the core component of the vape. Its structural design is extremely important for the vape's atomized taste. Cartomizer is mainly composed of wicking rod, wicking material, heating wire, e-liquid bin and other structures. The proper choice of wicking material is beneficial to improve the wicking speed, rebuild tank rate, and taste of the vape atomization process. At present, the vape atomizing core wicking material on the market is roughly divided into four materials.
Why does the vape with wicking cotton design still exist on the market after a series of updates? A kind of wicking material in "cotton" vape. Compared with microporous ceramics, its resistance to dry burning is more limited; compared with wicking materials such as "glass fiber wicking rope" and "stainless steel mesh" and "stainless steel rope" wicking cotton is easy to use, safe and mellow, and the most important thing is the lower cost. Because wicking cotton has a short life, it is more affordable for disposable Cartomizers that are thrown away after use.
There are many types of "cotton" on the market today, ranging from a few cents a pack of "medical absorbent cotton" to dozens of pieces of fiber cotton and even hundreds of VCC. What is the difference between these cottons except for their different prices? ? First of all, let's take a look at the comparison effect of 5 commonly used cottons. There are comparison results at the end of the article
1.Medical absorbent cotton
Medical absorbent cotton is the main sanitary material used in medical wound dressing, protection and cleaning. This kind of cotton is one that many people have used when they first came into contact with vape. The advantage is that it is cheap. The disadvantage is that if you do n’t wash your hands when wearing cotton or do n’t dry it in place, it can easily cause “odour” "Rust smell".
The fibers of medical absorbent cotton are relatively thick and have a poor compliance, which means that the fibers are very irregular. On the whole, the fiber arrangement is relatively loose, also called "fluffy". The absorbent cotton is the whitest of these 5 cottons because it has been bleached, and there are no impurities in the cotton fibers, which is very clean.
2.MUJI Organic Cotton
The term organic cotton is literally translated from English Organic. In other foreign languages there are also called ecological cotton or biological cotton. In organic cotton production, organic fertilizers are mainly used for biological control of natural farming for the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests. Chemical products are not allowed, and all natural and pollution-free production from seeds to agricultural products is prohibited. Based on the "Agricultural Product Safety and Quality Standards" promulgated by various countries or WTO / FAO, the content of toxic and harmful substances such as pesticide heavy metal nitrate harmful organisms (including microorganisms, parasite eggs, etc.) in cotton is controlled within the limits set by the standard, Certified commercial cotton. In terms of organic cotton production, not only the necessary conditions such as light, heat, water, and soil for the cultivation of cotton, but also specific requirements for the cleanliness of the cultivated soil environment, irrigation water quality, and air environment. Therefore, organic cotton is also known as "safe" and "non-toxic".
MUJI is also the wicking cotton chosen by most vape users, mainly "organic cotton" is safe and reliable. Secondly, the price is relatively cheap. In appearance, the overall whiteness is much darker than absorbent cotton, and there are Black impurities, these are actually broken cotton husks. Because it must meet the standard of "organic cotton", it has not been bleached and removed impurities like the absorbent cotton. The fiber is thinner than the absorbent cotton, the flexibility is very good, the fiber arrangement direction is uniform, and the arrangement is relatively close. The organic cotton of MUJI has more fibers per unit volume than the absorbent cotton.
3.Maru three organic cotton
Maruzan Organic Cotton is an organic cotton from Japan. The main use is for women to make up. The advantage is that it is cheaper than MUJI and seems to be more in quantity. By comparison, cotton pads are smaller in size and thinner. Because it is also organic cotton, Maru San's appearance color is also relatively dark, and impurities are mixed in the fiber.
Marusan's fiber arrangement is also very neat and thinner than MUJI. Because the overall thickness of the cotton sheet is relatively thin, the fiber density is also smaller than that of MUJI.
4. Gangwon Province Organic Cotton
Shortly after vape first entered the domestic market, most of the domestic players in the early days used "absorbent cotton", which has the advantages of fast wicking speed, large volume of rebuild tanks, high temperature resistance, and good taste reduction of e-liquid.
The size of Gangwon-do organic cotton is the same as that of MUJI. It is the darkest of the three organic cottons. The alignment of the fibers is also the best. The fibers are fine and the direction is consistent. Gangwon-do, which is also organic cotton, is also mixed with cottonseed shells inside the fiber. The biggest advantage of organic cotton is that the cotton sheet is made unconventionally. The user only needs to cut a strip according to the loop diameter of the heating wire and can use it directly without "twisting", which avoids the generation of odor and is very convenient.
5.FF French Geek Fiber Cotton
Fiber cotton is not "cotton" cotton in the traditional sense. Although it is called fiber cotton, it looks just like cotton in appearance. In fact, it is a special ultra-fine polyester chemical fiber material. This fiber cotton is not in the ground. It grows, but it is produced in the factory. The most common type of fiber on the market today is divided into two forms. Generally, it is selected according to the required wicking speed and the amount of Rebuild tank.
It should be noted that, compared with organic cotton, fiber cotton is more fluffy, so the amount is more than organic cotton, and the fibers are very loose, and the arrangement direction is disordered. The overall color is also very white, and because there is no cottonseed, there are no impurities in the fiber. From a close look, the fiber spacing of the geek fiber cotton is also the largest among these 5 cotton types, and the fibers are relatively stiff and the arrangement direction is more chaotic. Large spacing also means that the whole is relatively fluffy, so the amount used is slightly more. However, the vape is different from ordinary fiber cotton.
Through testing, it was found that the fiber cotton ranks first in all tests, and it can be said to be "the group first." Although the scorch marks of the wicked fiber cotton are slightly heavier, the overall consistency is very good Pasting ability and effect of reducing carbon deposits are relatively good. The role of "wicking cotton" in the vape of the disposable Cartomizer is still very important. Whether it is a Rebuild tank or a Rebuild drip, it has a great impact and has the great advantage of reducing costs.
