FINDING the best cart stuffing for YOUR PV

where do you get lipton pyramid tea bags, are they just lipton brand from the grocery store, or do they say pyramid on them somewhere?

I went to "BIG Y" supermarket, which is well stocked and very competitive with STOP & SHOP. I looked at ALL LIPTON OFFERINGS on the shelf and I saw nothing that said the word "PYRAMID". I noticed there were some boxes that made some reference to a "new look" (whatever that might mean). I just grabbed a big yellow & red 100 box of the LIPTON 100% Natural Tea. The box measures about 2.75" x 6.7" x 7.8"

These tea bags each have a STAPLE in them and I do not think they are the ones that I saw in the video.

Further clarification really would be a great thing right about now.

They have a Pyramid on the box.

Lipton® Pyramid Tea

I just went hunting around this site for it and found it....yup....there is a very clear depiction of this new style tea bag right on the front of the box (looks just like a pyramid). Evidently my local BIG Y supermarket is not stocked with the latest & greatest after all! I'll try Stop & Shop in the next few days and I'll bet they will have the right ones. I think I'll get a box of the new pyramid GREEN TEA...that stuff is very good for you.

I used up about 1/3 of a 100 box.....brewed up a STRONG gallon batch of the regular Lipton's tonight. I added several interesting ingredients, including lowfat milk, vanilla flavoring, a touch of maple syrup (no straight sugar). It looks a lot like iced coffee and tastes pretty darn good. It's in the fridge in one of those heavy one gallon ARIZONA jugs. I made a mess on the top of my gas range! I have to take it all apart & clean up all the black grills and white metal parts now. I really miss having a woman around to do things like this WITHOUT making such a damn mess (couldn't find my funnel ANYWHERE) LOL. I wonder if I should bother to save the (30 or so) tea bags.....or just discard them and go buy the pyramid kind and start fresh?

I use Web Products brand of vent filters like you would put in a heating register. I cut about a 3/8'' square and fold in half and insert in a Npro cartridge. Works better than original, does not melt and refill dozens of times. I think that I bought at Lowes.

The box I have is from last year... Lipton may have changed the design by now. On the front it shows a picture of the tea bag with its pyramid shape. At the bottom of the box is printed "20 PYRAMID TEA BAGS."

Check the video showing how to roll and fold the emptied bag, it's quite helpful.

Good luck!

I am still struggling to find the right filler material and/or mod for my 801 carts. Perhaps it is my atomizers or who knows. I am beginning to get lost in it all!

So far I have tried polyfill, pyramid tea bags, large cell reticulated foam, napklins, paper towels, coffee filters, and a combination of the reticulated foam with a polyfill top. I've also tried polyfill with straw mod, spring mod, and a combination of the two.

So far the large cell reticulated foam is working best, however, after three uses the foam begins to soften to the point that it allows too much liquid to pass through. Perhaps this is the best that I'm going to find, but with so many people having luck with other fillers, and talking about drying out their carts, it makes me think there are better ways. I would really like to try the pyramid tea bags again, but in a larger media, the bag itself, when broken down just doesn't seem like it has enough filler material for the 801 cart, and I end up getting atomizer flood city!

I am so very close to becoming a dripper and just say the hell with the filler, but I don't wanna give up yet.

I've been dripping into my Prodigy 801 but now I'm going to give carts another try. I suggest using the gossamer from 2 pyramid tea bags and making 2 rolls of material to stuff the big 801 carts. I'll be experimenting with this during the coming weekend.

I started with original poly, then went tea bags, then hemp twine, then dripping, but I am back to the hemp twine. Seems to work best with the straw mod and no need to change them so often. I get weeks worth of vaping, haven't changed it out in about a month and 3 attys. My $.02.

Actually I did try this, and it seems without the fold in the material at the bottom of the cart causes the PTB rolls to release the liquid too quickly. I may give it another try, but for now, I am using a single sheet of the material, rolled up, folded in half, then trimmed to where it is about 1mm below the rim of the cart. So far so good.
