Finally got to trying out the Kendo cotton I got from Mavex... and I've got to say, while I have oodles of KGD left to use, the Kendo stuff (at least the Gold I've tried) does end up having noticeably less of that cotton-y taste (after properly primed ler).
Plus it's much easier to work with, being all fluffed up BUT still arranged in-grain... with KGD you have the painstakingly fluff every piece you cut or risk having overpacked cotton (which IMHO makes the cotton taste worse).
Now let's just see if it outperforms KGD in the long haul.
I do have a pack of Eco too given as a freebie, and I've already stuffed a portion of that into my emergency build kit.
In other news, I picked up some new pals for me daily driver Pico and my long suffering last resort mech mod:

VTC for at home drippin (with the Fodi lol) and an Egrip OLED (with CS Base + Aspire BVCs) for stealth MTLing (and general in-car emergency backup). Both were on clearance so yeah. I regret not picking up a other Egrip though, you can never have enough backups (lol).
Now just need to CF wrap both of 'em.

Passed off the Istick 60W (and the Tron off my VTC kit) off to my dad to help him start vaping again. He never bothered to figure out how to coil (or bothered to go shops to make them rebuild for him) so the Taifun + mech I gave him ended up being thrown aside... Hopefully the Tron would work better.
P.S. Apparently the Hurricane Junior is inbound soon. Will be waiting impatiently for the FT clones to arrive so I can replace my old leaky TFGT with this for the mechie.
