Tea bag/tea filters.... which and where and who and how? - Page 12 - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

Stehle · 07-17-2009, 07:00 AM

Okay, been doing the Pyramid TB's for about a week now.

(Same Cart, One Hot Water Rinse & Quick Dry)

Checked it this evening, no discernible melting noticed.

No burnt taste noted in 6 days heavy vaping with a 510 on a Pass-Through.

(Average 19 drops full refill, Easy 10 drops for top up.)

The whole PET thing bothered me. Google'd it and read. (a lot.)

After weighing in my mind the other materials used for cart fill, (polyfill, Fluval, etc.), what I had read, the evidence I saw first hand viewing my cart tonight, I find these pyramid tea bags to be an acceptable choice. (For Me)

Until something organic that works as well comes along they will be my who & how.

WOW!
I just tried the pyramid nylon teabags on all of my models, and its amazing.
Right now I've been vaping my LightVapor for about 3 hours strait on maybe... 5-7 drops of Rum juice from myfreedomsmokes. I am thoroughly impressed.
I did a double layer roll, it wicks perfectly and the vaping never seems to end....ever seriously. I wanna try some different flavors, dry up already!!!!

I started using the pyramid bags on Thursday and I took one out to see how in the world I was still getting vapor long after I would have had to top off with regular teabags. It actually wicks up all the liquid. If you lose vapor it's because pretty much all of it is gone unlike any other stuffing method I have tried where I feel like I am throwing away a ton of liquid when I change it. The only bad thing is that you can't change flavors cause it lasts so long

. I've been cycling flavors that work together tonight. Started with Coffee and when I wanted a change added a few drops of Chocolate. When I got tired of that I added a few drops of Vanilla Butternut, and I think at some point I used some Apple Maple (which is like vaping pancakes and is fantastic). All of them kind of go together so if there is still some liquid it blends with the new flavor being the strongest. Does anyone else do these mad experimental mixes ?

I do!

(Ya kinda have to with those Pyramids!)

I got some Pyramids today. They're not working real great for me. Am I doing something wrong? Am I supposed to use the whole bag? I've been cutting them in half. I've tried rolling, accordion folding and folding in half, accordion folding and not folding in half, and just bunching it up and cramming it in there.

I've found the best vapor and throat hit with rolled up coffee filters. But, the aftertaste is horrible.

It's like I can always get 2 of the 3 essentials (flavor, throat hit, and vapor), but never all 3 at once. It's so frustrating!

I've been lurking for a few weeks, so I wanted to make sure my first post includes a thank you to everyone in this thread, for making this alchemy so much easier. So...thank you!

Oh wait, nevermind my question...Page 7

I'll try it again.

Glad you already found it!

Hopefully you'll get all three this time!

(Still vapin the same cart 4 -5 top ups later...still smooth as silk!)

would coffee filters work??

Moonflame · 07-19-2009, 10:25 AM

Coffee filters do work and so do regular tea bags. Try them, and then try the pyramid bags and you'll find the difference is huge. I felt bad about paying almost $4 for 20 bags of tea, but I'm enjoying the tea and I've been using the same bag for 3 days now. Wash, rinse, re-use. I figure the only time I'll have to throw one out is if I drop it on the floor while taking it out, because the thought of having to try to get all the cat hair out is not pleasant

Dog hair in my case.

I found a bit of a strange after taste with coffee filters. (Perhaps it was just me.)
