    Default cart filler

    For ease of use I use fiberfill, yank a peice off, stuff in it, and cut off any stray strands. $3 bucks will last a lifetime

    PTB = (Lipton) Pyramid Tea Bags.
    Since my post count is not high enough, I can not post a link.

    Enjoy!

    Let me add another one since the PTB method simply looks too complicated. I read of another poster using wool nubs, so I bought that on Ebay. I absolutely love using this filler, no cutting (just some snipping) and the taste is great with wool.

    How about this?

    Walmart.com: Lipton Beverage: Green Tea W/Mandarin Orange Pyramid Tea Bags, 20 ct: Beverages

    maybe that will help, and you can search and see if the store closest to you has it in stock.
    I think it comes in like 7 different flavors.

    PTB by a long shot. It takes a little futzing to figure out exactly how to get the best roll and fill method, but once you have it down, PTB is superior in every respect.

    Honestly, it's not that hard to get the hang of PTB. It just takes a few rollups to get it right. But once you do, the filler lasts practically forever (with proper periodic cleaning) and holds more fluid than polly.

    PTB stands for Pyramid Tea Bag from Lipton Teas. The bag is made from a poly mesh rather than the traditional tea bag. The vapor who started this suggested it as the poly mesh has a higher temp rating in order for it to melt theorizing it would be safer to use. Someone else also contacted the manufacturer and it ended up recommending that we cut away the edges as there may be some type of sealant that might not be safe to vape. So just in case I cut the edges off. I really like this mod the best over anything I have tried including fluval. I tried it alone and with the straw mod and the fluval actually did too good of a job and cleaned out the taste of the eliquid for me. I like the flavor of the eliquids. I did try wool also and this was my second best choice but I had to replace the wool too often and there were little frays that I didnt like. The PTB lasts a LONG time I change mine about every 2 weeks. I just rinse in water and press it in a paper towel to dry and it works like new. It also holds its shape so it is a quick and easy clean and replace filler. I wish I could find the original vapor who had this idea that was a GREAT FIND!!

    What PTB variation do you use (shredded, rho double-fold, rho single-fold, etc.) ?
