Analog Cig Filter as Cartridge Material?

[Keltrey]

Has anyone tried this or are there chemicals in the filter as well?

Interesting Idea.. might be cheaper to just buy the carts lol, but it seems like it would work. I doubt there are any chemicals in the filter though.

Since the cartridge material is basically cotton wool why not just buy cotton wool for replacement purposes.

2 weeks ago I picked up some filters for the roll-your-own machine to try. Good draw, but I couldn't get decent vapor, even with a good soak in e-liquid. The cotton fibers must be too tightly packed or something? Hope that helps...

Neither cotton or wool melts into a glob like pictures I've seen of melted core material.

I wouldn't suggest real wool. Although it's fire resistant a little too much heat could have your atomizer smelling like burnt hair.

Sorry I didn't mean that type of cotton wool, I was refering to the type as sold in a pharmacy. Interesting thought about roll-your-own filters, I've still got some slim filters so I might try that.

The filters in most cigarettes / buy separate rollie filters are made of acetate I believe????
I know they used to be a few years ago--- probably not a prob if kept wet , but some serious nasties can come out if the cart gets dry and they melt a little?????

there is a thread here somewhere.somebody bought fish tank filters and said they are nearly indestinguishable from cart material.so far hes saying they work great, and got tons of it for like 5 bucks.find the thread, he even has a link to the product so you can find it easy.

That was what I was thinking. I figured they would wick well, but wasn't sure if they would be heat resistant enough or had other chemicals in them possibly. I know Salem likes to put its menthol in the filter.

The best idea I've heard is the test Jaaxx is doing with Kevlar.
