About availability of Pyramid bags

[Heed]

I have so far tried three (Peppermint, Camomile, Red Berry) out of the 8 or so flavours in the Lipton Infusions range sold by Tesco in the UK, they are all the second type and I have no reason to believe the others will be any different. I think this might well be a US vs. Europe manufacturing difference, I've never seen any of the flavours I see Americans talking about getting Lipton PTBs in. I have also been unable to source a distributor who can send me US Lipton pyramid bags in the UK.

The guy who first tried them is in the U.K., so I don't think it's as simple as a N.A./Europe thing.

I grabbed a pack just this week to try them out, but got the second type as well.

It might be more to do with stock age: if they switched manufacturing to the new bags at some point, then it's quite possible there's still old stock on the shelves. I grabbed an obscure flavour as I wasn't interested in the actual tea, but that may have been a mistake -- the more popular flavours will turn over quicker and there will be a better chance of getting new stock.

Next time I'll look for the most mainstream flavour I can find and see if I get the proper bags. Also, a big store with lots of turnover (big cities, etc.) might be a better place to check for similar reasons.

They don't call it Meijer Thrifty Acres for nothing!

Actually Meijers was my first job. I was a bagger / cart pusher and my dream was to get into the bottle room. I never did, ended up going to taco bell after that

Ahh the good ol days.

I am a newbie at this, so at the risk of sounding moronic, what do you use these for?

I bought a manual 510 on the recommendations of some of you and am trying to figure out how to go forward with my project so I can get off the cigarettes. I have not yet quit until I can understand and obtain all of the goodies I need to refill the cartridges, because if I run out, I'll just start smoking again.

I have figured out that my addiction is not so much the nicotine, as it is the smoke hit.

Me too. I am going camping this weekend, finally have all the supplies I think I need, and I am leaving the analogs home! I recommend Nhaler's high voltage 12mg liquid. My fav so far is peanut butter cup. It has a really good throat hit and alot of vapor. I use a 510 as well.

I may have to go all out with Nhalers High Voltage. I got one thinking it would be a little lighter than normal but not only does it have great flavor the hit is not bad AT ALL.

I found them at the very bottom of the shelf when I first got them. I feel like I have seen the material somewhere before. maybe in curtains or something. This may be a cheaper way to go it I can figure out the material. I know some people have used poly pajama pants
