Ournature...

I actually discussed it with the teenager at Petsmart when I bought mine. Granted, she's just a teen and likely not a chemical expert but the bottom line was quite straight forward...if it's okay for the fish, it should be okay for people. That being said, there are so many chemicals that fish emit, I would imagine SOMETHING in those chemicals would break down the properties of the foam as the water passes through the filter. So, I say again, if it's good enough for the fish, it likely good enough for us. I'll see what I can find in terms of the makeup of the foam...what the exact ingredients are...heck, I worry more about getting pleurisy in my lungs than chemicals from the foam...lol

Peace

As an aside, I should disclose I used the Marineland brand blue foam....not sure there is a difference. But I've also contacted them to see what ingredients are in the foam or if the foam has been treated at all with chemicals. Once I hear back from them, I'll let you know.

Exclamation WOWWWWW!!!! Stick a fork in me, I'm DONE!!!

Unless someone comes out and says the blue foam is bad for me, I'm done shopping. I finally broke down and pulled out the PTB I have in my cart between the blue foam and the atomizer and all I can say is WOW!!

Well folks, I'm going straight foam filter with lots of drops and the vapor seems larger , the flavor is REALLY strong and I swear I think I'm getting a buzz . I'm trying to figure which is better, this new mod or my DIVORCE!!!


So, my e-liquids have been shipped, my extra atomizers and USB passthrough have been shipped, and I've got myself a new mod...life is GOOD. All I need now is a Government run health plan....oh wait, Obamascare is about to take care of that too...lol.

All ABOOOOOARD....jump on the Blue Foam Bandwagon everyone....it sure seems worthy....

Peace

I definitely need to try this. I use the PTB mod and love it, but this certainly seems like an easier (and possibly better) alternative. Thanks for the information!

I would definitely like to hear your results. As stated above, I haven't tried the PTB mod but have heard it was pretty much the best thing out there right now. I stumbled on this thread and decided to give it a try. I can't compare it to the PTB mod myself, but I gotta say I can't imagine it getting much better than this, especially when you consider how much easier this is than the PTB mod. It's easier to buy (have read that not all lipton PTBs are made of the same material), easier to understand, and easier to get it right. From what I have been reading, there is an art to getting the PTB mod just right. With this, I don't think it matters a whole lot so long as it's a decent fit.

I use the Marineland brand also. Man I'm glad I reposted here, it's about time others see what I've been enjoying for awhile now! I almost gave up on the ecigs due to the old filler. Vape on, my friends!

I will be interested in that as well.

I'm not even sure what all everyone is using. I think we are mostly using the Marineland sleeves. It may be the same material or similar as in the original post, but if we have all moved to the Marineland stuff, I wonder if a moderator can change the thread title or maybe we should start a new thread. One thing is for sure, the Marineland sleeves appear to require less cutting & work to get them to the correct cart size.

For anyone coming in late, this is the Marineland foam we are talking about:

Amazon: Amazon.com: #115 Hot Magnum Foam Sleeve: Home & Garden

Petsmart: Marineland Magnum Replacement Media and Accessories - Filtration & Circulation - Fish - PetSmart

(NOTE: For some reason I couldn't find it separate on Petsmart's site, but I went to the local store and bought just the 3-pack of H.O.T. Magnum filter sleeves. The Petsmart link above has more stuff than you need, but I included the link so you can see what the bag looks like.)

Edit: Well, my bag looks different but it is the same thing. Marineland Bonded Foam Sleeve. "Rite Size U Foam Sleeve". On the back by the UPC:

Bonded Filter sleeves PA0115-03
047431011533 (UPC #)

Yes everyone...PLEAAAAASSSSSE be sure to give Storm the credit. I stumbled onto his post and just piggy-backed on it. It DEFINITELY deserves to be in the forefront. I know rho(I think?) has been busting his butt on the double rolled PTB filter and making videos but this one beats it hands down...in my humble opinion. I almost want to ask he make a video but it's pretty hard to screw up. Maybe I'll pull out my camera and take some pictures and upload them tonight or tomorrow morning.

Thanks Storm showing us all the light!!!

I didn't even look online when I first got it. I just went to the store (it's a short drive for me as well). There's a lot of fish stuff there! It actually took me about 5 minutes just to find this stuff in the store, and I found the fish section right away! I just kept saying to myself, "They HAVE to have it".

At least I got it though. And yes, THANK YOU Storm!
