Use sterile cotton, not organic. This will last you a long, long time. I've been using that exact product for months and it tastes great.
I never have and likely never will boil my cotton. AFAIC, boiling (using distiller water) at best, is going to make no difference.
I've tried numerous types of cotton......CVS Sterile Rolled, CVS Organic Balls, RiteAid Sterile Rolled, RiteAid Organic Balls, Wallgreens, ect.
I settled on the CVS Organic for a long time, but about a month and a half ago, I picked up these http://www.amazon.com/U-S-Cotton-Sterile-Absorbent-500-Count/dp/B003FBKBA0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396433348&sr=8-1&keywords=Sterile+cotton+balls
They are AMAZING! Very little cottony (?) taste. No nasty peroxide taste like some. And I find that the wick actually holds up better (I can easily go 3 full tanks between swapping wicks as opposed to 2 with the old cotton.
They're small, but I get 4 wicks out of each. I can't recommend these cotton balls enough.
I bought a lifetime supply of sterile cotton on amazon just so I wouldn't need to do any boiling.
If you want to use Amazon, this is what I've found that works well
