    I did exactly as you said, rolled. not to tight, fit and cut and dripped til it seemed nicely saturated and a very full flavor and good flow and draw

    I am a convert thanks SPete and kinda cheap

    HEY! A bit of tissue paper really seems to do the trick. It did cross my mind, of course, but for some odd reason I figured it couldn't work. Guess I thought, "that would be too obvious," or something. So yes, it absorbs the liquid quite well, and holds on to it just enough to avoid spilling but still keep the atomiser mesh wet. I'll definitely try this out for a while. Woo. Thanks.

    Any other ideas are still welcome, of course.

    Great to hear it's working for u guys as well......I am starting to think this is the idea I am going to stick with now....I really didn't want any chance of vaping polyester material.

    I have been w/ my PTowel for an hour, I am finding, it MAY not stay as fresh as I may like, I know it is early and to keep replacing the pt, certainly no big deal, nor costly and a great alternative than buying new empty carts, I just save all my carts and replace the filler

    I have used it for my 801, maybe it may hold longer for a 901, cos it is smaller, your thoughts

    [quote=cosican;176237]I am on it,, although I buy my paper towels w/ little duckies printed on it]

    Hi cos', hope yer doin' good.

    I'm gonna try the paper towel thing as well. But the duckies? I'm not sure what they will taste like. I'm gonna look for p-towels with burgers or pizza. Maybe I can kill two birds with one stone here.

    Cheers,
    jd

    This is interesting cos. My batting refills last at least a couple of days (if not more). I'd like to know how long this is holding up too.

    Lu - You mean the material holds up a couple days, right?? You don't vape a couple of days on a refill do you?

    This is one problem I hope we're able to resolve. I realize it's not too big a deal to top up a cart, but it tends to get annoying after a while. I'm looking into a stainless steel polyester mesh combo.

    Lu - have you pulled apart a Vapor King cart yet? Looks like there's a wire all the way up the center of the filler material, and it's a very compact filler, not loose like a standard cart. Interesting stuff.

    If you don't find the paper towel roll seems to work very well try rolling even less paper...the thing is that the stuff needs room to be able to expand. It's surprising how little of the paper it needs to work.

    I'm going to try this in my 801 tonight, it sounds awesome, and everyone has paper towels laying around. The polyester I've been trying hasn't been working to well, lots of extra threads sticking out.
