    Default Help with cartridge filling (tea bag)

    I've been trying and failing and I don't know what i'm doing wrong. I'm using Lipton teabags but it just doesn't seem to work.

    What would greatly help is if someone posted a few pictures of how they do it so I can see exactly what i'm doing wrong.

    I have the M401 and the NPRO

    Thanks!

    I would think the teabags only work on the penstyle. I have both and wouldn't think you could cut it small enough for the Pilot.

    Here's The Thread Here Cartridge filler materials

    Get Tea bag, Just Cut It an edges off, Empty Tea Out, Lay It Flat, Roll it Up (Not To Tight), Insert In Empty Cart, Cut to length (a little shorter and make a center hole in it for the air), Add some Juice & Go!

    Keep Vapin!

    i can't get it to work well on an m401. I roll a long strip of teabag, get it loose and evenly fill the cartridge with it, and completely fill it with juice. It gets good contact with the wick... but performance just isn't good. It will wick enough juice for a small drag, then i have to wait 10 seconds until another small drag is ready.

    This is very distressing to me... the substance that i've been doing the best with is fluval. But making good carts is difficult, error-prone, and when you use the ideal density, it collapses and becomes a plug next refill.

    AAAHHH!!!!!

    The only suggestion I can give is to keep trying a 'shorter' length of tea bag to roll up..it's surprising how 'little' it needs but either way try various amounts until you find an optimum for your particular cart......once you have found that you should be able to keep repeating it easily. Other than that perhaps it just doesn't work in some carts.

    If it's too loose it won't hold enough liquid to be useful and if it's rolled too tight it won't wick well.

    Oh, and Giggidy.

    If anyone is kind enough to take a picture of their carts with the best length/size of teabag, I would GREATLY appreciate it.

    One shot before you roll it up, and one shot inside the cartridge.

    If anybody could do this for me, for a NPRO and a BE112 Penstyle, I would love you forever

    No pics, sorry. But I did find using a flat toothpick and rolling very loosly works best for me. I will never go back, love the teabag.

    Today I am experimenting with taking a piece of teabag, and twisting it loosely instead of rolling. If the twisted thing comes out longer, you just cut it off. Not sure how it works yet, but I'm thinking it's working better than my rolled teabags.
