I’ve used this before, better than the version 2.0 for my taste
Robert Grubbe (verified owner) –
Best cotton I have used by far. The rolls (10 in a bag) easily separate into smaller pieces. Easily rolled into perfectly round rolls. Easily cuts to kength. But most importantly it lets the flavor of the juice come through unadulterated. Pure flavor and huge clouds. Love the stuff! I only buy this cotton now.

This cotton is so clean and easy to use. Wicks so good and smooth
Shawn (verified owner) –
Works great. Very short break-in time.

After trying a lot of different cotton wicking, always fall back on Cotton Bacon! Last longer, even seems to be more in the package than other brands. Great taste and not quick to burn. Always a great price!
Russ (verified owner) –
I’m hoping to see native wicks here again, but for now cotton bacon will suffice.
Just happy to have decent cotton sans synthetic fillers as I can’t use any other wicking material thanks to health issues.

Cotton Bacon Prime has been my cotton of choice for years now. It is, simply put, the best cotton for RDAs. This is especially true with extremely low resistance mechanical use. It never dry hits/burns, it lasts a long time (lasts a full week of daily use for me), has no break-in-time that I ever notice and has the best/purest flavor. It’s immediate flavor, as soon as you prime. Your flavors taste exactly like they’re supposed to. I have tried all the other known brands of cotton and CB Prime really is the best that I have experienced. Super easy to work with, as well, and a pack lasts me months with weekly rewicks.

I’ve tried to like Muji and 13ft cotton but this stuff is clearly the best imo it’s definitely the most consistent cotton out there and it lasts sure Muji and 13ft is cheap but I don’t like having to rewick every few days and I can go a week easy on this stuff without rewicking unless I change juices there is no reason I have to rewick CBP for the best flavor and consistency there is no other THANK YOU SEAN for still carrying this great cotton
Jeremi Perrault (verified owner) –
Good product
Collin Gross (verified owner) –
People will say the Japanese muji and the cotton slivers work better and taste better. But no Cotton Bacon is king. It wicks faster than even the fancier brands ive purchased from overseas all the high end brands that over charge you for something not on par. Ive tried Titanium Fiber, Vap’xtreme cotton, Cotton Two Pure Organic, all of these are so Overpriced and they want to get rich off of us. Prime is always superior and Wireoptim has the best pricing I love them! Thanks Wireoptim for suppling the best in the world.

I have used cotton bacon v2 before, it’s pretty good stuff, but I went back to Japanese organic cotton slivers and pads. I can’t really tell much of a difference between JOC and v2 except maybe v2 last a little longer. I seen everyone on VU talking about how much better prime is, wireoptim had it 40 percent, so figured I might as well try it. I was really let down. Idk If mine is old or something but it seems like it’s dried out or something. I know cotton dry but this is like extra dry, it’s like rough and frizzy, v2 is kinda smooth if u get what I’m saying, don’t get me wrong I will use the prime but I will not buy it again, i will use Japanese organic cotton, id buy v2 before I purchase prime again
David Nance (verified owner) –
There is hardly any break in time with prime I appreciate it I love it
Stephen Alexander (verified owner) –
Works as promised. Repacked 5 Zippo lighters.
Jeff Cotton (verified owner) –
Very impressed! Much better wicking than organic cotton pads.
Easier to use also, being able to cut off just the right size of wick.
Highly recommended!
Karl G (verified owner) –
I’m never disappointed by Cotton Bacon Prime. I use this cotton in all my builds and it works fabulously. There is not much else to say because of how good it is. I recommend this product for those just getting into rebuildables, and the pros.
William (verified owner) –
Thank you
Andrew (verified owner) –
Cotton Bacon isn’t kidding around with their latest and greatest. It’s definitely the best cotton they have produced. My only problem right now is choosing which super high-quality cotton I want to use in any given particular build! I really like how CB Prime is in bundles that are easy to separate into appropriately sized strands for any given build. Overall, I’m very happy with it!
Val (verified owner) –
My old favorite. I do like this cotton for mesh devices. I’ve always used it.. But I like the Flexfiber 6mm a bit better because of the eyelet .. Much easier to wick. With the bacon I open one side of the mesh and put it over the cotton and screw down. performance is similar and minimal break in same as FLEXFIBER, 5min or 3/4 pulls whichever comes first. Picked up during last sale.thx optim! ✌
Pam Morris (verified owner) –
Tried everything else…COTN, Native wicks, all the usual suspects. The cheapest and best in my opinion is WNV Bacon Prime. Getting it on sale just adds icing to the cake.
Michael (verified owner) –
It’s cotton, does what it’s supposed to, very little break in.
Will J (verified owner) –
I enjoy using cotton bacon prime, I get good flavor with no cotton taste, little break in time and decent life. Very good product.
Michael (verified owner) –
It’s really fluffy therefore wicks really well and it’s easy to work with.
Bill (verified owner) –
It’s the only cotton I use
Collin (verified owner) –
Super fast delivery. I put an order in and its sent out for delivery like 5 mins later lol idk how its possible. Its already leaving on a plane to me cant beat that shipping speed anywhere. Thank you for the great site please stay.

I’ve always been a huge fan of cotton bacon and have used Cotton Bacon V2 for a long time, probably my all time favorite wick, but I had never tried Cotton Bacon Prime for some reason. I was running low on wick so I picked up a pack of Prime with my last wire order. I was debating on getting either Cotton Bacon Prime or Native Wicks Platinum Plus and I am so happy I went with CB. This stuff is AMAZING, it has a lil bit different look and feel than V2, it’s softer and fluffier, it has nice lots and lots of long fibers and is quite a bit easier to peel apart than V2 also. It’s wicking property’s are great, because of the long fibers it’s soaks juice up and draws it up to the coil quickly, and it seems like there are a lot more fibers packed in to the same amount of cotton as V2 and because of this CB Prime is able to hold more juice. There is absolutely no break in period at all with this wick. I know u hear that all the time about other wicks but most of the time it isn’t true, but believe me, there is zero break in whatsoever. I think CB Prime has taken over as being my all time favorite wick. If u now wut ur doing with cotton wicks like this, u know how much u need to tear off to fit inside different dia. Coils then I would HIGHLY recommend this stuff, if u don’t know wut ur doing then I would suggest going with a shoe lace style wick that is pre measured and has agletes on the end. But if u haven’t given CB Prime a try u should do it, I did and I am so happy I did.

I’ve never used cotton bacon before so I didn’t know how fluffy and very absorbent it is
Jim Shivers (verified owner) –
Great absorption.
Highly recommend!

OhmSpun (verified owner) –
I was given a partial bag of Cotton Bacon Prime and have found it to be the perfect cotton for my coils. All my OhmSpun Coil orders ship with a little bit of this in the coil pot to give the users the best experience. I can’t see ever using anything else. WireOptim, Cotton Bacon Prime, and OhmSpun coils are the perfect addition to any device.
Chris (verified owner) –
My order came in a timely manner and the quality was great
Steve (verified owner) –
I was skeptical at first but am now pleasantly surprised. I put it through is paces with a build and it DOES absorb faster that other wicking material I’ve tried over the years.
LJF (verified owner) –
Ummmmm Bacon!!!!
michael rigsby (verified owner) –
its great, very high heat resistance and will last as there is plenty in the bag
Val (verified owner) –
use this exclusively for my og Profile. It does a great job at wicking them. Can wick 3 or 4 Profiles from one piece. And lasts a good while between wicking.
Andrew (verified owner) –
I replaced the original cotton bacon with this and am impressed, the cotton lasts longer due to faster wicking and less burning makes it perform better longer, been using the same cotton a week now and I’ll never go back
Pam Morris (verified owner) –
Buy during a 30% off sale…5 bucks a bag. The product is all I use for wicking. Single coil build, a bag lasts 3 to 4 months. Nearly no break in time. Simply a great product.
Brian (verified owner) –
The product works great
Christian Alvarado (verified owner) –
I’m sorry I cannot with native wicks, I’ve used almost every brand and always come back to cotton bacon
Laura Koch (verified owner) –
Cotton Bacon Prime is the best cotton in my opinion. Unlike other brands, you use exactly what you need not the individual amounts that the other companies sell. Then to be able to purchase in bulk, (in a 10 pack box) is so much better. I will definitely return to purchase again.
Johnny Johnson (verified owner) –
I’ve used so many different brands of cotton and I’ve used cotton bacon for the last year and cotton bacon prime is the best cotton I’ve used and Long as cotton bacon prime is around this will be all I get . It’s less break in time and holds the juice way longer and it takes forever until I get my first dry hit and with this cotton I don’t have to re wick every other day it’s amazing do yourself a favor and buy some
christopher mason (verified owner) –
i tried this once. and now i use nothing else. nuff said
Gaige (verified owner) –
I have always hated Cotton Bacon the original was terrible. The version 2 was an improvement but nothing impressive.Cotton Bacon Prime is amazing and I am extremely happy with it. Its easy to use absorbs liquid quickly and it brings out the best flavor of my liquid. I will use this over Japanese organic any day.
Johnny Johnson (verified owner) –
Pretty good cotton . Im still on my first bag and Ive noticed it holds the juice really well and you cant taste the cotton . So far I really like it
Michael A Bonanno (verified owner) –
this is the best cotton ever perfect length perfect amount in each bundle fantastic
LJF25 (verified owner) –
For me this is the only cotton I use. No break in and great flavor right from the get go!

Great cotton..no flavor contamination..perfect
Anthony S (verified owner) –
My order shipped same day as purchased very fast! Thanks. The Cotton Bacon Prime is amazing. It doesnt clog up after 2 days and seems stronger then the Cotton Bacon V2 Ive been using for about 2 years. I will be getting a case of this. Also first time getting a spool of premade wire and trying NiCH 90. Wire is amazing. Great flavor.
Brandon W (verified owner) –
My only complaint is that it doesnt come in a measurable form like pads where you can cut X amount. But it wicks and tastes great.
Nicholas S (verified owner) –

Efrain G (verified owner) –
Fast shipping good quality.
Gary K (verified owner) –
Weak flavor
pamela m. (verified owner) –
Originally didnt see much difference between V2 and Prime. Less break in timebetter flavor and pulls apart easier. The downside is because it pulls apart easier it is not as strong as V2 in my opinion. No difference in duration between changes. In my opinion worth the extra dollar.
John W (verified owner) –
I wont say its the best of the best of the best but I do like it a lot only because I may come across something I like better later. Nice taste with little break in period seems to wick quickly and holds the juice nicely.
pamela m. (verified owner) –
Was expecting more….literally no difference with version 2. Disappointed!!!! But still with BOGO I cant complain.
Robert M (verified owner) –
Great wick Its all I use works very well in rtas. shipping was fast.ordering a breeze. Thanks Lighting Vapes.
Jesse J (verified owner) –
The best Cotton on the market .It wicks like a champion.This is a must have product.
Scott (verified owner) –
Ive tried them all and they just keep getting better. The fibers on this are thick and run almost the whole length of each strip. Very little loose strands to comb out compared to v1 and v2. Its wicking is amazing. Once it gets saturated its a machine that wont quit. Takes my RTAs to a new level.
Ken B (verified owner) –
I got a sample of the cotton bacon Prime with the neon bacon eliquid. I always used good cotton like that Chinese kookookachoo stuff but it doesnt compare to this cotton bacon Prime Im hooked
David B (verified owner) –
V2 has been my cotton of choice for awhile now and i was a little hesitant on trying the prime! Im glad i did because my RTAs and RDAs has been wicking like a dream and seams to last longer..
Jonathan C (verified owner) –
My favorite cotton to date!
Doug W (verified owner) –
WHats not to love about the New Cotton Bacon Prime? I just opened mine and wicked a set up (had Prime for over a week before this) Prime Awesome wicking and flavor production!
Pat R (verified owner) –
I like the bacon length its just right for two coils on the tank I use. This stuff is clean from hit 1 to hit 5000. I pulled this out after days of use and the cotton was clean as day 1 under the coils. The coils got dirty but the cotton bacon prime did not. This is much better result from the old cotton bacon I had. I put this on par flavor wise and break in with Native Wicks Platinum. This didnt burn though while native wicks usually does. Ill continue to test this though and update if it changes.

Cotton Bacon Prime by WicknVape is quite simply the best cotton on the gaping market. It stands by the description on the package It really does wick better then the 2.0 and most others Ive and especially well in all my rtas and squonk attys… I will not by any other cotton unless WicknVape comes out with even better cotton which would be very hard to believe since its just too Damon good. Thanks Lightning Capes for such a great product!!!
Eric M (verified owner) –
Coming from Native Wicks and will never go back
Thomas N (verified owner) –
This stuff is awesome! No break In time at all and it wicks like a champ. Try it and youll love it!
Teresa P (verified owner) –
Whats to say its cotton. Feels a bit rougher than their v2 (to me) almost a rayonish feel like bacon v1 but the taste is clean absolutely no breakin and it does seem to last awhile in between changes. I personally dont think its worth the extra cost over v2 but LV has the best price out there right now and I was glad to get to try it.
Dan T (verified owner) –
Ive used cotton bacon since it was first introduced to the market. The prime cb does seem to wick faster. Definitely will be using it in rdtas and bottom fed attys from now on.
Brandon (verified owner) –
Picked some up today and somehow cotton bacon got better. I was never a fan of cotton bacon v1 but they improved with the v2 and it become my favorite cotton. This is being advertised as 33 more absorbent them the previous version. I was skeptical at first but now that Ive gotten to try this is certainly the case. Even when intentionally taking pulls when the cotton appeared to be dry i never got that harsh Smokey burn in my throat that all drippers have certainly experienced. I promise you if you use another cotton and give this a try you will never go back.
