Five commonly used wicking cotton

An important factor affecting the performance of electronic cigarettes is wicking. wicking refers to the process of absorbing the e-liquid into the heating part of the electronic cigarette. If the wicking effect is not good, it directly affects the taste of the electronic cigarette, and even burns. There are many kinds of "cotton" on the market, ranging from a few cents a pack of "medical absorbent cotton" to dozens of fiber cotton, and even hundreds of VCC.

Here are five common wicking cottons on the market:

1. Medical absorbent cotton

Medical absorbent cotton is the main hygienic material used in the medical industry for wound dressing, protection, cleaning and other purposes. This kind of cotton is one that many people have used when they first come into contact with electronic cigarettes. The advantage is that the price is cheap. The disadvantage is that if you don't wash your hands when you wear cotton, or if you don't dry it in place, it is easy to produce "odor" and " Rust smell."

The fibers of medical absorbent cotton are still relatively close, and the softness is relatively poor, that is to say, the fibers are irregular. On the whole, the fiber arrangement is loose, also called "fluffy". Because of the bleaching treatment, the absorbent cotton is also the whitest of the five cottons, and the cotton fiber has no impurities and is very clean.

2. Muji organic cotton

The term organic cotton is literally translated from English Organic Cotton. In other foreign languages, there are also ecological cotton or biological cotton. In the production of organic cotton, organic fertilizers are mainly used to control the natural cultivation of pests and diseases, and chemical products are not allowed. From seeds to agricultural products, all natural and pollution-free production. Based on the “Agricultural Product Safety Quality Standards” promulgated by countries or WTO/FAO, the content of toxic and hazardous substances such as pesticide heavy metal nitrate harmful organisms (including microorganisms, parasite eggs, etc.) in cotton is controlled within the limits specified by the standard, and Certified commodity cotton. In terms of the production of organic cotton, it is necessary to cultivate not only the necessary conditions of light, heat, water and soil for cotton, but also specific requirements for the cleanliness of the cultivated soil environment, irrigation water quality, and air environment. Therefore, organic cotton is also the name of "safe" and "non-toxic".

MUJI is also the wicking cotton selected by most vape users. It is mainly “organic cotton” safe and secure. Secondly, the price is relatively cheap. In appearance, the overall whiteness is much darker than that of cotton wool, and the fiber has black inside. The impurities, these are actually cotton seed crusts. Because it is in line with the "organic cotton" standard, it is not treated with bleaching and antimony impurities like cotton wool. The fiber is finer than the absorbent cotton, the flexibility is very good, the fibers are arranged in a uniform direction, and the arrangement is relatively tight. Under the unit volume, MUJI has more organic cotton than cotton.

3. Pills three organic cotton

Maruyama 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 the quantity seems to be more, but Maru San and Muji, Gangwon-do In comparison, the cotton sheet is smaller in size and thinner in thickness. Because it is also organic cotton, the appearance of the pill three is also relatively dark, and the fibers are mixed with impurities.

The fiber arrangement of Maruyama is also very neat and thinner than MUJI. Since the overall thickness of the cotton sheet is relatively thin, the fiber density is also smaller than that of MUJI.

4. Gangwon-do organic cotton

Shortly after the vape entered the domestic market, the early domestic players mostly used "cotton cotton". The advantages are fast wicking, large oil storage, high temperature resistance and good taste reduction of e-liquid.

The original cotton cotton sheet of Gangwon-do is the same size as the MUJI, and 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. In Gangwon-do, which is also organic cotton, the inside of the fiber is also mixed with cottonseed shells. The biggest advantage of organic cotton is the unconventional whole of cotton production. Users only need to cut a small strip according to the diameter of the heating wire and can use it directly, which avoids the odor and is very convenient.

5.FF French geek fiber cotton

Fiber cotton is not the cotton of cotton in the traditional sense. Although it is called cotton wool, it looks like cotton. It is actually a special ultra-fine polyester fiber material. This fiber cotton is not in the land. Growing up, but produced in the factory. The most common type of fiber cotton currently on the market is divided into two forms. Generally, the selection is based on the wicking speed and the amount of oil stored.

It should be noted that compared with organic cotton, fiber cotton is more fluffy than the organic cotton, and the fiber is very loose and the arrangement direction is chaotic. The overall color is also very white. Since there is no cottonseed, there is no impurity in the middle of the fiber. From a close distance, the fiber spacing of the geek fiber cotton is also the largest of the five cottons, and the fibers are harder and the arrangement direction is more messy. The large spacing also means that the overall size is relatively fluffy, so the amount used in use is also slightly more. However, there is a difference between the use of electronic cigarettes and ordinary fiber cotton.
