Try the teabag ....I am being quite surprised by how well the Hemp paper is working!

I am not sure if our tea bags in the USA use hemp paper. Does anyone know?
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness were put in the founding document of our country for a reason.

I've never seen it. Maybe a specialty or health store?

Hey lu as far as I know all tea bags except for the prism shaped bags are made of a mix of hemp and plant material......It's strong enough even to wash. .....believe me it's worth a try. This is my second full day of using them and it as good as or possibly even better than the original cart material..........and NO plasticky taste anymore.

Mine are white. So it doesn't have to say hemp on it? I might give one of mine a try anyway. Did you find they last a while Pete? Or do they need replacing often?

I have been refilling my penstyle carts with up to 12 drips with no problems, the tea bag paper doesn't go mushy and it is strong enough to be rinsed out and gently washed. ....I roll half a tea bag (without the tea) up like a carpet insert the tube into my cart, trim it off and it really is working great.
My tea bags don't say anything about being hemp but as far as I know that's what they are made of but even if it's just ordinary paper...it's still better than any risk of vaping polyester. It can't have any chemicals in or we wouldn't be able to make tea with it.

Just gave the tea bag a try and it seems to be working out pretty well. I'm gonna sit here and vape on it all day and see how it turns out after some heavy use, but my first impressions are good.
Nice find. 
Also, I think that all tea bags are made of hemp, unless they specify otherwise. I used Tazo, because it's what I had laying around. Seems to be ok so far.
