I'm going to have to pick up some of those fish filters and try them. I've tried the teabagging thing (yes, I know...) and frankly it just didn't work for me.
The polyfill works ok, but still not as good as the original filler material.
Teabag or coffee filters
polyfiber pillow stuffing
stainless steel wool
the fish tank stuff (don't know the name, but you might)
Other (please be specific)

Teabags are working very well in both my 4075 and 501. Draw is easier, longer between top-offs and they wick much drier than original filler. Standard Liptons Tea, 1/2 lengthwise, fold that in half and then wrap almost loose around a ballpoint pen cartridge. Lasts 2 to 3 days but for the price and ease of assembly, well,![]()

I use Barbie doll tampons.![]()
hahahaha .... i tried the teabag the round ones... work fantastic .... held loads of niquid and vaped virtually dry ...but there was a awfull taste of raw tea ... put it to one side and havent experimented since ....
Just did this and it works pretty good...
Had a dead atty.. so I took it apart and found that there is plenty of the steel batting they use to wrap the bridge in to stuff a cart.
It seems to suck up the liquid without pooling quite well... Much better than the original material.
No burnt taste when it begins to dry.
More rigid so the atty bridge doesn't compact it too much such that it becomes dented.
I use plain white paper napkins just because they're most convenient for me....and a cart with that lasts a couple of days anyway. What I noticed though is I don't cut it even with the cart....I leave it a little longer as it tends to get pushed up a bit in there.

Hello newbee Syrus here. Has anyone tried a sponge to stuff carts? Not the household sponge but like a printer cartridge. I fill a lot of printer cartridges and sometimes really surprised how much ink they hold and how well they dispense ink on paper. I would try it myself but I don't have a e-cigarette yet and just gathering information before I purchase......... Syrus

So far the coffee filters are working very well. Tried a tea bag but it just collapsed into a blob, maybe should use a whole bag. Started out rolling a narrow strip of coffee filter around a leather-working needle. Used too much filter. When I hit it with the juice it swelled up too tight to use. Tried a shorter strip and unfurled it inside the core. That worked better, but the performance didn't last. What finally did the trick for me was pleating a wider strip of filter into an accordion fold, inserting it into the core and snipping it off to length with very sharp scissors. The folds work against each other to keep the layers better separated, the liquid is free to move by capillary action. The vape tastes so much cleaner and I can go most of the day on one cart because it doesn't leak like the worn out polyfil. "Thanks Pete!" is now my Vaper's Prayer.
Oh, I forgot to mention: These experiments were applied to my RN4081.

I may still be an Addict, but at least I am no longer dying for a cigarette.
