Just tried fluval fish filter - Page 2 - E-Cigarette Forum

I was gonna try unbleached brown Melitta coffee filters. some folks claim it does make a difference with the flavour of coffee, so why not e-liquid? I just have to remember to buy the goddamn things on the 3 or 4 trips per week I make to the grocery store, I don't drink coffee, so none at home.

Yes, I plan on picking up the unbleached filters myself on my next trip to the grocery store. All I had were the white bleached ones to try for now.

One other tip I forgot to mention is that we found that you do have to roll it up a little loose and leave a hole in the center. It just seems to work better - we aren't having to drag as hard and it produces more vapor for me using the DSE901.

the best part for me about using the coffee filters, is that I can leave some sticking out a bit, and therefore, use DSE901 carts on an RN4075 atomizer, since the DSE carts aren't quite as long, and the filler doesn't reach the bridge on the atomizer. I can't find RN carts locally, only DSE

Might have to try the teabag approach..

I plan to procure a box of fruit teabags from work

Using a tea bag or a coffee filter? That just means more $$$ to spend on assorted e-toys!

PLUS! It means you can switch out flavors quicker.

OMG I love using the teabag. This produces a way better draw and vapor. Bonus is, I won't have to worry about all those loose poly fibers coming off the cartridge and melting on my atomizer. As well, I won't have to go through the weekly maintaince of washing out the cartridge's filler.
Thank you for all for the great idea.

very interesting

I've posted a better way to use the poly batting material. I've been very impressed with the results.

I just tried the teabag. I'm amazed. It really does work. I think I might have used to much of it but am still experimenting. Do you guys use the whole teabag or cut it in half?
