Re-Stuffed Carts. Working Very well. - E-Cigarette Forum

Well guys I decided to try and restuff some carts i had laying around that the stuffing wouldnt work anymore in.. Took myself and the kids to the pet store, looked at the fishes and the chameleons.. Then to the fish filter Aisle.. I didnt want to spend a lot of many got a small box for about 5.00. It is a Box that says FLUVAL on it.Says its a Water Polishing Pad. It was a 4 pack and says 2 plus on it.. i think thats for what device its for. I opened a lot of boxes and found this stuff to be the closest to the orig material. It has 4 Sheets of the stuff in there. And its even the correct thickness, all i did was pull the white part out of my penstyle cart.. measure the whole thing on an edge. Cut it and stick it in.. Filled the cart.. and im vaping away on it. I did notice that after being filled. Using it a bit and then looking at the end of the cart.. the wet end.. It looks exactly like a standard cart that i have here in my table.. I think this stuff is the closest I have seen and its very convenient. Just lettin ya guys know of my experience. Maybe can save some people a little money.. i think theres enough in this tiny box to do 50-75 carts lol.

Well that beats the .70 for a 5 pack of blanks at bestecig.com....LOL

Sure it's all safe to inhale...no asbestos or anything like that?

Let us know how it goes...

Well if the original Polyester thats in the e-cig is safe than this must be just as safe.. i mean it looks EXACTLY the same. only precaution i did was rinse and dry it before use. So Far so Good though.

Edit: This stuff even has the same problem of not wicking super fast.. an i wish i could make it wick faster and not have to alternate pens but its all good. Working very well.

Thanks for the tip. I think I'll be looking at doing something like that before too much longer.

umm, i keep marine fish, and to 'polish' the water, you use activated carbon, or activated carbon pads. i'd check to make sure these arent it! lol they dont look like it, they look like standard filters, but i think it'd be best to check the label!

Looks like that's a different product:
