VAPE COTTON

From traditional Japanese organic cotton to specially treated options, we stock various types of vape cotton for clean flavour delivery and faster wicking. We have Vapefly and other premium brands for consistent quality and reliable performance. Browse our selection of vape cotton and pick the perfect wicking material for your setup.

What Is Vape Cotton and Why Do I Need It?

Vape cotton is a wicking material used in rebuildable atomizers (RDAs), RTAs, and some rebuildable coil heads. It's essential because it draws e-liquid from your tank to your vape coils, ensuring proper vapourisation. Quality vape cotton is designed to be heat-resistant, tasteless, and provide consistent wicking performance, which directly impacts your vaping experience through better flavour production and coil longevity.

How Long Does Vape Cotton Last?

Vape cotton typically needs replacing every 1-2 weeks, depending on:

  • Frequency of vaping
  • Type of e-liquid (darker, sweeter liquids reduce lifespan)
  • Power settings (higher wattages may require more frequent changes)
  • Coil build complexity

You'll know it's time to change when you notice a decrease in flavour quality or slight discolouration of the cotton. Check out our guide to preventing dry hits for optimal cotton maintenance.

Is Vape Cotton Safe to Use?

All vape cotton sold by MIST is made by trusted vape cotton brands, which produce cottons specifically designed for vaping. It's important only to use dedicated vaping cotton rather than regular cotton balls or beauty cotton, as vape cotton is:

  • Free from harmful chemicals and bleaching agents
  • Heat-resistant
  • Designed to handle repeated exposure to e-liquids
  • Processed in clean, controlled environments

Can I Use Vape Cotton in Any Device?

Vape cotton is specifically designed for:

It's not suitable for closed pod systems or non-rebuildable coil heads. Always check your device specifications before purchasing.

What Types of Vape Cotton Are Available?

There are several types of vape cotton available:

  • Organic Japanese Cotton - Unbleached, pure cotton sheets
  • Cotton Bacon - Pre-rolled, ready-to-wick cotton strips
  • Puff Cotton - Fluffy, easy-to-work-with cotton
  • Cellulose Cotton - Plant-based alternative to traditional cotton

Each type has specific characteristics that may suit different vaping styles and preferences.

How Do I Choose the Right Vape Cotton for My Device?

When selecting vape cotton, consider:

  • Your device type (RDA, RTA, or specific coil head)
  • Wicking speed requirements (thicker e-liquids need faster wicking)
  • Your building experience level (pre-rolled options are easier for beginners)
  • Coil size (larger coils require more cotton)
