What is the actual filling that comes with the cartridges? (M401 carts in my case.) Does anyone sell that?
Thanks

The carts come with a 100% polyester fiber fill called polyfill. It really is the same thing you find in some pillows. It is available at about any craft store, walmart, and many other stores. A bag is like
$7.00 and good luck using it all. Some bags state that the fill is in compliance with california flamability standards. This does NOT mean that there is a flame retardent chemical added. It simply refers to the inherent nature of polyester. I have posted an email communication in an earlier thread from the manufacturer of Fairfield polyfill that states the same thing. Just be sure to buy 100% polyfill you do not want to use a cotton or rayon blend.

You know what - this is the best tip I've ever come across on any forum about anything!!! Been vaping for a couple of months now - own a short silver SD, couple of 901's and lots of 510's (with the multi-charger - which is a must for 510 users by the way) My partner shares the 510's with me - the Tea Bag Wadding System (TBWS) gives BETTER VAPOR than standard wads, LONGER LIFE between top-up's than standard wads AND - NO HORRID PLASTIC TASTE when juice is running low - it should be adapted by ALL E-Cig manufacturers !!!
Brilliant tip surbitonPete - thank you for making my and my partners E-Cig experience BETTER - you deserve money for this one !!
NB !!!! NO E-LIQUID OOZZING OUT INTO THE MOUTH ON ANY OF MY E-CIGS EITHER !!!!

I just hit the jackpot
I was reading about the pyrmid tea bags, and I went down to my craft store to buy a curtain rod and noticed this type of ribbon that looked a lot like the tea bag material. I bought a yard of it for 89 cents.
Then I went to the grocery store and bought some of them tea bags, and the material looks pretty similiar, except the ribbon had a finer mesh to it. Anyways, I cut some of the ribbon and put it in a cart and works great. I also found joanne flavors for $104 a bottle...Yahhooo!!

I don't know what the material is called, I bought at the Ben Franklin Store in the craft section, here in my small town.

Maybe I can take a pic of it and post it. They don't sell it in packages, it's on a roll and the clerk cuts off the amount you want. It's kinda stiff, and it doesn't unravel when you cut it. The stuff I bought had wire sides to it. I found it inthe ribbon section, it's about 3 inches wide, and looks just like the pyrmid tea bags.

It's probably organza, or tulle.
Tea bag/tea filters.... which and where and who and how?
bummer that the organza picture is missing.

The stuff you bought at the craft store could be iron on web which is used for no sew hemming. If it is, it's coated with a glue that bonds to the fabric with heat. I'd make sure what it is. If it's organza or tulle, fine but if it's hem tape, you will be inhaling glue and also could be gumming up your atty.
