Hemp Cigarette Rolling Papers

I was referring to a used sheet. But new or used it should still be cleaned before hand. Sorry if that wasn't clear. It is a good point though as they do contain chemicals you don't want to be inhaling. I figure a light dowsing in rubbing alcohol or vinegar followed by a rinse should be sufficient though. Admittedly I just used dish washing detergent. I'm not aware of any craft stores that sell this type of fabric but if anyone out there knows please share.

Haha. Well you never know who might actually love the flavor of Bounce!

That's in a penstyle atomizer cart though.

Pete - now that this topic has evolved and been tested quite extensively, perhaps you can start a new thread summarising the best method.

read through all 27 pages of this thread before posting.

I haven't even received my first eCig yet. But i've ordered a DSE901 expected to be here next week. We touched upon coffee filters but kinda drifted away from it. Does anyone know if Coffee Filters works well? i work at starbucks...so i'm wondering if i should give it a shot

I am not sure about that Kinaba....there just doesn't seem to be any method that works for everyone. I guess everyone needs to try them all and see which one works the best for them, I only wanted to get away from vaping polyester and getting the burnt plastic taste......but a lot of people say they never get the burn't plastic taste and so don't believe there is much risk of vaping any polyester anyway. In that case the Fluval and the straw idea is probably the best.

Hi.

Just wanted to let you all know, I've made what I think is a major breakthrough. Check out this link:

The Body Shop - Facial Buffer Sponge

Also available at Bodyshop outlets and, if you're lucky like me, from your girlfriend's impossibly huge stash of skincare products. It's a very porous sponge made of some sort of polyester material. It seems the porosity and structure is just perfect for holding e-liquid, and it looks surprisingly similar to the stuff that's in new carts. And while £2.90 is a bit much for a sponge you don't need much of it to fill a cartridge. I reckon this gives you a good-as-new cartridge for something like 5p, good for quite a few refills.

The only potential downside is that the sponge is either scented or the material has a natural smell to it. It's a very subtle smell, sort of "wooden", but you really need the sponge right up against your nose before you even detect it. Either way it's hardly harmful since it's meant to be an exfoliating scrubbing sponge, i.e. whatever produces the smell might easily get in your blood if you use the sponge as intended, and I personally can't detect it while using the sponge in a cartridge.

If anyone wants to give it a go, what I do is soak the sponge in water for an hour or so (just because why not), press it between some sheets of tissue paper to get most of the water out, then leave it to dry completely. Then I cut off a rectangular piece about 8x15 mm with the sponge's thickness of about 16 mm, and divide it in two so I get two pieces of about 8x15x8 mm. Then I apply a bit of liquid before inserting it into the cart, just to get the surface area covered, gently guide it into the cart and top up with more liquid.

I can get something like 20 drops in there, there's no dripping, and I can vape it dry as well. The liquid doesn't visibly dissolve the sponge, but the sponge does eventually lose its ability to take liquid. I only take that as a good sign since it means it deteriorates exactly like the stuffing in new carts. I'll certainly be doing this from now on.

I'm not sure if this is good advice or not. I honestly haven't read every post in this thread, so I don't know if something similar has been mentioned. I was attempting to refill a cartridge with polyfill for the first time. I know many of you have complained of loose threads and I was having a hard time with it as well. I noticed on manufactured cartridges they seemed to be a bit stiffer on top and I thought they might have been heat treated. I left my polyfill poking a bit outside of the cartridge and grabbed a lighter (that I haven't used in 2 days thanks to my e-cig!) I turned the flame down and barely touched the polyfill. There wasn't even any smoke. It condensed a bit on the end, but became flat and NO loose threads. I poked it down into the cartridge and Voila! I just tested and it has no strange flavor whatsoever.

I hope this isn't ridiculously retarded, although this is the internet and I'm sure you've all heard much worse.

Just wanted to follow up on my previous post after vaping on my experimental cartridge for the last couple of hours. It's wicking really well. I'm getting plenty of vapor. The best part is even when the cart starts to run dry I'm not getting that awful taste, I'm just not getting nearly as much vapor.
