    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.
    the great thing about the tea bag material is that it is strong enough to take out unroll it and wash it! It does need washing after a while of refilling because it ends up getting full up with the oily part of the juice that doesn't vaporize very easily.

    What's in tea bags

    Mix of hemp (bleached), wood fibers. You can buy your own fillable tea bags as well, I've only ever seen them in specialty tea shops. My only concern with tea bags would be the glue, but it's easy to just trim that bit off.

    Here's a reusable hemp tea bag - bit spendy for one!

    I am SO glad I saw the tea bag method before I went to Walmart today for polyfil!

    I hate to be trying a product with such bad connotations, but I am going to try experimenting with analog cigarette FILTERS. There is a cigarette factory for a major manufacturer in my town and I should be able to get blank filters (lots) for experimentation, probably for free. Worth a shot.

    Yeh, I think they weren't porous enough to wick well.

    I am not so sure the coffe filter paper would be as good as the tea bag paper though becuase they are made more 'dense' than a tea bag because they have to filter a powder.

    So do you guys just take a teabag with tea already inside and cut it and then wash it and stuff it in?

    For a penstyle cart just cut the tea bag in half, empty out the tea....roll up just one half like you would roll up a carpetl.....insert the roll into the cart, trim it off and fill it with juice.

    Please also try to vape on when the teabag is empty (of e-liquid)... after all, that is the part that worries people about the usual filling... that it might melt or burn when it's too dry. How does the teabag behave in this respect? Because if that burns.. well, then we are getting combustion, right. If it withstands that test also though, it sure seems to be a very good find!
