Are there any stores that sell organic cotton in Seoul?

Ahh... should've realized that the brand was Korean from the name.

Thank you kind sir. Glad to see someone here in the forums in the know.

I gotta ask, as someone who couldn't tell the difference - what is the thing with organic COTTON?
I understand when it comes to food, but cotton?

People who rub this against their face would rather it be clean as possible.

People who use it in their rebuildable e-cigs don't want to inhale unknown chemicals. The Japanese KGD brand is popular for this because the directional way it's combed makes for better wicking. I guessed the guy might be looking for this.

For baby clothes and towels, the reason's obvious.

For everything else, probably just an easy way to hint to the consumer that they use high-quality, soft cotton.

This right here.

Trying to quit smoking and I've had friends tell me they've had success switching to ecigs before quitting.

Unfortunately, the crappy ecig that I'm using now only makes me want to start smoking deathsticks again. So I'm switching to a rebuildable system that involves using cotton as a wick.

Is KGD Japanese? The name makes it seem Korean.

Good job. Let me know if you have any questions as you get more into it. I've had zero interest in smoking since I made the switch.

Yes, KGD is Japanese. I use THEFACESHOP cotton pads from HOMEPLUS. Works fine and cheap as sin. Open the pad and pull out the inside and what you have is a like a white cotton ball. 80 for 2.500KRW.
