There's been some recent developments in cart filler materials. Tea bags made of hemp (I use
nylon gossamer tea bags with
great results, personally), coffee filters, etc.
Since Nylon melts at 350+ F and Polyester melts at 255+ F, I figured it was a smart choice. You heard it here first
Someone else came up with using tea bags in general, but I came up with using rolled strips of nylon gossamer. For one, wicking is out of this world, durable, doesn't melt when touching a really hot atomizer bridge like polyester and washable/reusable. Holds the juice without trying to keep it.
I have been using these the past week or so and they work great, they don't seem to wear out.
Can I just use some regular nylons like you put on your legs?
I could fill a lot of carts with the queen size.

Well it would probably work ...just about anything that soaks up liquid will work!

New and curious
Is this for the purpose of having a larger filler to get more vapor? Please tell me.

The only reason for using Tea bags or Coffee filters is to get away from having any chance of Polyester fibres getting melted on the coil and vaping the fumes from plastic. I sometimes used to get a horrible burn't 'plastic' taste which was almost impossible to get rid of from an atomizer once it had started, I felt sure it was polyester fibres getting onto the coil and I haven't had it at all since using tea bags or coffee filter paper, so I feel happy...... but some people say they never get that plastic taste anyway so they just carry on using the normal cart material or else use the fluval which is almost the same thing.

That's a ditto for me too.
Plus I think it now it's more consistent when using filters, and you can't beat the price.

This.
I picked up some of the Lipton Pyramid Tea today just to try this. Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Thank you!

Do you guys feel the poly fluff or tea bags are better? The poly is sometimes a pain to deal with but when I tried the tea bag, I didn't get as much vapor in my SD.
Who likes what (poly or tea bag) better?
Thanks,
Milo

I wasn't super pleased with regular tea bags, they seemed to "hold" the juice more. Coffee filters (bleached, it's all I had in the house) worked better, but nothing beats the Lipton Pyramid tea bags. The draw is unbeatable, and I used the same amount of juice filling it that I did a regular tea bag or coffee filter.

Is it possible to get hold of the original material that they are made of?
