just went down to vivo daiso. had a difficult time finding the charcoal bamboo as there were lots and lots and lots and lots of people there today. what to do, public holiday....

bought 2 packs at $2 each.

each pack consists of 4 bamboo of different sizes, sort of like xs, s, m and l.

i only have max 2 totally hollow ones in each pack. not easy to find those with 4 hollow pieces. anyway, i crushed my L size hollow piece when i bought home

so i tied all the remaining 7 pieces into a pyramid lookalike structure. should be boiling it tomorrow to remove the air within and tie moss on it.

these bamboos seems a little "easily broken" compared to the $9 a piece i seen in y618. maybe quality is different, thats why much more expensive.

i am wondering about the active carbon sold in lfs as compared to those sold in daiso. are they similar or different.

those active carbon sold in lfs, were they "processed" or what?

coz in daiso, we can get a pretty big bad of carbon for $2

not very sure.. but i think the charcoal bamboo is better. problem is you need to take out and re boil every month

wah every month must boil? If tie moss on it already then must remove everytime when we wanna boil it?

what i meant is that those active carbon bought from lfs has a lifespan of say 2 months, after that have to throw away. else the active carbon will release the toxic that it had absorb earlier.

whereas for those carbon bamboo sold in daiso, do we need to throw after a few months? is there any lifespan?

whats the purpose of boiling the bamboo? recharge?
