So who is the Genius that came up with the Pyramid Tea bags? - Page 2 - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

Its worth the effort, trust me. I used to top off 2-3 drops every 10 minutes. Now i top off about 10 drops every hour or 2. Its saved me alot of liquid. What i hated is when i'd take out the filling of a normal cart and the top 1/3 is completely dry and the bottom 2/3 is soaked, it seemed like such a waste. Now i figure i'm getting use of the top 2/3 - 3/4 of the filler when using the ptb mod.

As far as I know, both these guys complimented each others ideas...

Thank you both surbitonPete & bizzyb0t ! I have read from so many and learned so very much!

Please Read post... (A bit of vaping history if you ask any PTB'er like me!)

...

Tea bag/tea filters.... which and where and who and how?

pbusardo · 08-14-2009, 02:35 PM

I was able to find the PTBs last night at Tops.

WWOOWW!

I am now a true believer. So many more drags, no taste change, getting much more use before a top off, filling is easy without stuffing removal.

I'm going to give it a few days to look for any negatives, but as of right now. Wow! I should have tried this a long time ago!

I have been looking for this "Pyramid" tea bags and cant find them in NYC. Deli's or grocery stores dont have this, only the old style ones.

Hmm gonna go to a large supermarket to see if they have one.

I have one too!!

Perhaps we should donate to those that like polyfill or learn to stuff pillows.

For those that are having a hard time finding the Lipton Pyramid Tea Bags, I looked in 3 different stores and finally found them. They were in fact in all 3 stores, but I looked right past them cause I was looking for a bigger box. The box is not very big...probably 4 inches tall by 2.5 inches deep. The only reason I found them was that at the third store they were right at eye level. When I looked at the pictures some members provided I got the idea this was a big box...it's not.

The examples provided work quite well for the 510...for a larger deeper stepped cart (like on an 801) the material (once the seams are cut out) won't provide 2 refills and winding it the long way doesn't provide enough surface area, however this is easily dealt with by making a small piece for the bottom section and a larger folded piece for the wider top end of the cart. Seems to wick every bit as good as on my 510. Now to try it on my pipe! Sooooooooo much better than fiber materials!

Ok I must be doing something wrong with this mod. So far I can't see where it's any better the using poly fill. Same number of drops to fill cart. Same if not less number of drags before top off(about 8-10). And still about 3-5 drops to top off. And plastic burnt taste after most of the liquid is used from the opening of the cart. Doesn't seem to wick well.
I tried different ways to install in cart. Single roll, single roll folded, double roll(2 separate rolls). I'm I missing something? Oh I forgot this is with a 510 battery and a 510 pt straight to 5v.

Thank you!!!! Just got them today and the wife and I love them.
