I recommend REAL WOOL for filling cartridges

[Melinda09]

I've seen all kinds of different fill materials discussed in numerous threads - and added my two cents to a few of them - but wanted to start a new thread that was just about real wool fill material. I ordered some real "wool nibs" online, and they're the BEST! I'm done experimenting with anything else.

I've tried out all of the various cart filler recommendations for myself now, including a couple different types of polyester fiber, and didn't like the taste of the poly, or tea bags, or paper towels, or anything else that I tried to substitute. Nothing seemed to me to have the clean, non-taste of the original cart materials. So I finally did an online search for "natural wool fill", and waded through a bunch of sheep farm sites and yarn companies, until I found one that sold wool filled pillows, mattresses and comforters. They had a line item in their store where you could buy extra, cleaned/sanitized wool nibs by the ounze (for the purpose of making yourself a firmer pillow) at $1.00 per ounze.

Eight ounzes of wool turns out to be about the size of 1-1/2 travel-sized pillows, or 2 airline-size pillows ... plenty to keep me in cart filler until the end of my days. The nibs are about pea sized and larger chunks 'o curly wool. Yep, right off the sheep. One single "nib" can easily be pulled apart into a spider web, and then rolled or folded to fit into a cart (nestled up to my little cotton swab straw). It does need to be pulled apart, since it's denser than poly fill, and then the little stray stringy-things that escape from the cart need to be snipped off.

I HIGHLY recommend this stuff. I'm getting no more mouthfuls of juice when I use my mini pv. I like to start with a fresh cart every morning, and I figure that I can do that every day now ... on the cheap! It cost under $10.00, including shipping. I'm a happy camper, and just wanted to share my happily ever after story.

I'd considered using real wool after recalling that "hot mittens" for iron workers and glass blowers use wool for insulation, so it's pretty heat-resistant stuff.

Is this what you mean? NearSea Naturals: Wool Stuffing

Here's another form, it is a very thick (3/16" thick!)felt. I have used this pretty much exclusively for a long time, did suggest it one or two times, no one seemed to be interested, but you are right! Melinda09, the very best filler of all. Just cut to fit cart + tiny bit longer. This is exactly the right consistency, holds juice and releases juice just like fiberfill, stays useful much longer. Recommend soaking overnight in plain water, then rinsing WELL before using. No additives, soaps, sizers, this is green as well. Write to seller for smaller pieces, it lasts forever. I don't know if proper to post link, but it's available from

WHITE ORGANIC WOOL FELT FABRIC craft material sew USA - eBay (item 300297862133 end time Aug-29-09 21:41:01 PDT)

If not proper I will delete it. I have no affiliation with seller.

I'm going to try it, cuz I'm not all that thrilled with PTB ....NearSea will send a sample for only 50 cents, plus shipping (my shipping cost calculated @ 1.31)
