I've been using roll your own filters for a little while but I'm getting concerned, they tend to crater in during use. Is the atomizer nuking it? Last night, I tried a fresh one with 1 hit and took it off and the cratering started and got worse with each hit, I hope I'm not smoking the filter also...

I'm far from an expert, but the bridge has to make contact with the filler in order to wick I would think. Mine does the same thing. If the filler isn't getting burned by the atty then it is wicking well.

Will have to try this tonight, as I bought a 5 pack of those tubes, and although a few do still get used here and there i've got about 800 that are never going to get used otherwise. I've also got some of the plain ole lil filters you can use when rolling your own instead of the tube fillers. Will try both and report back.

Currently set this up. The filters I have are "TOP Filter Tips" 15mm Length.
I ripped one in half and then pulled a small chunk off of that so it would fit nicely. It was a bit too short for my 510 cart so i tore another small piece to put below it to help fill the cart some more. (tried without that piece and the atty bridge just pushed the filler down into the cart and didn't work at all.) I've been vaping about 20 minutes so far with this and I'm not too impressed. It seems to work so-so. There's some vapor but seems like the stock filler worked better, I'm going to play around with it some more, perhaps less filler, This stuff does absorb quite a bit and fill out after you put in a couple drops of juice.

I am sticking with the PTB's for now. i can use a quarter of a teabag in my 401. most peeps dont seem to use the teabag in 401 since they are good at emptying carts, but i wanted the PTB for reuse and i hate little strands sticking to my atty. they leave a little juice behind but seem to wick uber fast for me.

Nestran, am from Pawtucket...... Stop and Shop has them, but you got to look real hard ....... Go to the Lipton Tea Bag Section and you will see these small boxes of specialty tea...... I think there are 3 flavors together....... The one I got is a greenish box, maybe 3 inches high and 4 inches wide...... It says Green Tea, Mandarin Orange Flavor....... On the lower right corner it shows a Pyramid tea bag...... Hope I was hopefull.......

O.K. Seems like I've been reading about the Pyramid tea bag all summer so I finally did a Google search. I always thought the Pyramid was a sub-name of the Lipton brand. Surprise! Don't think I've ever read, or at least noticed, that Pyramid is the actual SHAPE of the tea bag. Duh!!!
Or did I Google the wrong thing?

I still prefer Fluval it wicks so much better than the cig tube which is a great absorbent but not so great at giving it up, you waste a lot of juice. Fluval is much easier than the PTB though I have not used that one to compare how it works compared to Fluval. It don't really matter to me as my primary is a GreenCig cartomizer these days.

No, your right. The tea bag is in the shape of a pyramid. You'll look for a box like this in the tea isle.
