Works Great In An EVO

**googled** · 04-12-2009, 01:23 AM

Using 1/8th of an English Co-op fairtrade round tea-bag seems to work well. Round bags make a funnel shape which is easier to fit into the cart without it scrunching up. Any more than 1/8th and I wasnt getting any vapour. This is in a DSE901 cart. I didn't realise quite how far the wick enters the cartridge until I did this with tissue paper and saw the indentation. The tea-bag doesnt have to be flush with the top of the 901 cart and seems to work better when its lower than the top edge. I guess that depends on the wick tho', some seem higher than others.
Also, using paper towels or tissue seemed to produce paper taste after a while which wasn't particularly nice.

Anyone had success with tea bags in a Pilot / M401 yet?

I haven't had success with tea bags at all.

I tried this with my EVO last night. It holds about 15 drops of fluid, and more vapor than with the original poly.

What was your experience?

This forum continues to be priceless. Read through this thread and immediately dumped a Lipton tea bag. An earlier post made mention of rolling the paper around a dowel and sliding it into the cart, I used the ink cartridge from a standard ball-point pen.

1/2 teabag, lengthwise
Roll around ball-point ink cartridge
slide into cartridge
fill with fluid and...

My oh my but this works sooooooo well! Tried this on my Dura-C and 4075, gotta be careful to not overfill of course. Draw is so much better and the tea-bag seems to wick out much more thoroughly.

I just tried it today in my M401, a lipton bag. and it just seems to retain more liquid than it dispenses. i used 1/2 of the bag (as i read here somewhere) then cut to fit the cart. then after putting on the cart i use a paperclip inside the draw hole to lightly tap it down so it makes contact.

when it stops vaping, the teabag is still very moist.

I must add, I am using my homemade USB passthru that has a superlight draw. That maybe part of the problem (i only drip on it usually with a blank mouthpiece). I will try it with a battery tomorrow.
