Fluval poly fish tank filter pads work awesome!

I saw someone post about these on here before, so I decided to pick up a pack. I got these:

Fluval Polyester Pads from Hagen - Filter Media - Fish - PetSmart

Seems to hold e-liquid just like the stock cartridge material does, and there's enough in that one box to last for months. Doesn't taste any different and it's easy to cut to fit your carts!

Just wanted to share

Some of you might also be interesed in the polyester batting sold in the craft dept at walmart. I have used both and found the batting to be more pliable, making it a bit easier to use. Just another option.

I use the fluval, It's good stuff. The worry with polyester wool is that some contains fibreglass! But not this stuff, it's about as safe as it gets and works out economical. Get it from Pets At Home in the UK.

There's no fiberglass in the batting as it's used to make kids and animal toys.

I'm going to give this a go since I'm finding that the washed cores don't wick as well as "virgin" ones and I really grudge paying ~35p per cart for something that must cost about 2p to make [I never used to mind 30p a cigarette mind you; ironic eh?]. Do you rinse out the fluval before using it or just cut and stuff (so to speak)?

[frogbmth]

I wash it, not sure if you have to. I think you do to use it in a fish tank, so I figured that whats good for goldfish is good for me

Yeah! I just got mine yesterday and it was on sale. Surprisingly, right next to the Fluval was 100% Polyester so I picked that up too. (I didn't see anything about it being treated with flame retardant and figured it wouldn't be on there if its going in a fish tank). I tried both last night with great results and would recommend either one. Lu is correct that the polyester is more pliable.

I think the biggest thing I noticed is the performance difference between actually removing the stuffing and refilling vs just topping off a cart. Refilling wins hands down for me because the cart lasts so much longer. I'm just going to make a batch of carts and not mess with dripping juice throughout the day.

I've gone through so much trial and error since I started vaping that I think I've finally figured out my likes/dislikes and have a system in place. It'll be nice to get into the money saving phase
