So who is the Genius that came up with the Pyramid Tea bags? - Page 6 - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

I'm kinda new to vaping but I tried this PTB mod and came up with something that seems to work pretty well so far.

I was going to post the website where I have the descriiption and pics posted, but I guess I can't until I have more than 15 posts, sorry.

I'll try and describe it sans the pics.

After I rolled and folded the tea bag as per one of the videos I watched, I frayed the open ends with a bit of emery cloth.
What this did was give me sort of a frizzy end similar to the standard cartridge material.
After inserting this "frizzyended" ptb in the cart, I trimmed the fuzz off using scissors to be level with the plastic of the cartridge.
I filled it with e-juice and inserted it into the atomizer, began vaping. Then after 15 or so puffs, I removed the cartridge to inspect.
What I had was a nicely formed shape in the bristles that had taken on the shape of the atty.
I was able to get around 15 drops in a 510 cart an vaped it almost dry with no burnt taste.
It seems "frizzing" the end of the ptb may help it wick the e-liquid better than just cutting the end of the tea bag flush with the end of the cart.
I've done this with numerous ptb's now, washed dried and reused them.
I gently fluff apart the bristles after cleaning and they seem to continue to "wick" really well.

I also found a cure for the gurgling I was experiencing that seems to help keep from getting that little bit of juicy taste from time to time. It's on the same page.

I'm not sure maybe I should just make some more posts...I'm getting a few more flavors in a day or two, I'll post a review of each to get my number up.

Stopping in just to share my experience with the Pyramid Tea Bag material
in 510 carts.

I've been using the same carts for about 2 months with no performance
degradation. The material is beginning to look a bit ragged. They rinse
beautifully and completely under running water.

I fill the carts when starting a fresh battery. The best part is that the carts
have been needing only ONE top-off before the battery quits. And,
depending on the flavor, sometimes I can get away with not topping off
at all. Some flavors change for the better as the cart become drier. I find
that to be true especially for tobacco-type flavors.

I decided I liked the tea that comes inside the pyramid tea bags so much I stopped using them and just drink the tea. lol

I tried so many mods and spent so much time and money. Dripping is the best, depending on the type of ecig
