anyone using there own cart cores.

[Kit]

Has anybody had success in finding a good cart core for replacing the old cores that came with the carts..ive heard on other threads posters using toy stuffing and fish tank materials...can anyone point me in the right direction to a material that you have been using in your carts and had good results with..and where to get some in the uk.

I stuffed part of a real cig into a 901 cart and soaked it down with some virginia.
Its a POS atomizer so why not.
It has been working for 10 minutes so far.
I'm sure a vegi matter would do less harm than synthetic.

Early on, when I was still using E-Cig products, I bought aquarium filter material from a pet store. It's polyester (not good to inhale if it burns or vaporizes!). I found that material to be identical to E-Cig's cartridge filters.

As an experiment, I set fire to an E-Cig cartridge core and a compressed wad of polyester material side-by-side. Same melted lumps resulted. So I packed cartridges for a short time (proper compression is a problem). Then .. dropped it. Safety unknown. Dropped E-Cig. Safety really unknown.

I've concluced Janty carts aren't so expensive that I can't afford them. The longer I do this, the less happy I am with fiddling around with "make-do" stuff. I never rolled my own cigarettes (after trying it for awhile), so I'm not prone to "roll my own" e-cig cartridge cores. Just personal preference though.

not much point for roll ups in florida bob.. us brits only do it to cut our massive smoking costs.. its cheaper..

a few years back we took some of our roll up tobacco to kentucky.. with a nudge nudge wink wink the waiters ask us if they could have some of the stuff we were smoking.. it seems the only people that smoke roll ups in kentucky add a little something else other than tobacco.. he he

an interesting place to visit..

To be honest with you trog we never smoked roll ups because it was cheaper as we probably used to spend £40 a week between the two of us as we always preferred the flavour and kick to your normal real cigarette and if we ever got given a real cigarette we always had to light up a roll up afterwards as we never felt that we had ever had one.


But when you do travel people do think because you smoke roll ups that you're smoking the Green Green grass of home well that's what they call it when we are in Jamaica and every time I've come out of the airport there five times in all I've been jumped on by somebody saying do you want something stronger mon and the last time I was there I got offered something stronger. I told him no thank you then he offered me two ladies instead.

Ok it has been over an hour now.
This thing is vaping better than before. It is running a little warmer than usual. I am picking up a bit of a mellow nutty flavor which is quite good with the virginia flavor.

keep us posted bear !

i used to smoke Park Dive ned.. very similar to a golden Virginian roll up.. i mostly used to refuse a normal filter type cig..

i had a friend who use to pre machine roll them.. he used to get about twenty nice fat cigs out of an ounce of tobacco.. they were a quality cigs and much in demand down the nightclub.. he he he

it didnt work out cheaper doing it that way either.. one of his "super" fags equaled about four of my prison style efforts.. very nice things they were..

old holborn did have a taste all of its own thow.. i cant think of a ready made that tastes the same..

I know trog when you can fit 42 fags in a tin and ned's still got his original old holborn tin it make's it an hour long job before you can go out,

that was a job guess who for ? before the beach in the morning (valuable sunning time) and the bar (valuable drinking time)on a night perhaps thats why we havent gone on holiday yet wot to do with all that spare time Hmmm.

Yeah I still roll every now then. And i've always wondered why people in the US don't roll more. When I see people who do, they usually roll WITHOUT a filter. Whatever tickles your pickle, but i certainly don't like the combined Smoking/Chewing tobacco which results from not using a filter.

I learned to roll in the UK actually. It's quite hard to find good filters around here in NYC.

Sorry for the hijacking of this thread! Please keep us posted if anybody finds a better material because these cartridge cores stop absorbing nic-liq after a while.

Woohooo this is post 100 for me.

It is still vaping, but I am having to top up often. The amount of vapor is slowing down. Still has good flavor. I think I will clean it out soon and give the atomizer a boil. I don't think this is very good for your hardware, but I knew that going in. It's a hybrid.
We don't known unless we try.

interesting that.. but part of the art of learning to smoke years ago was not getting the end wet.. with a filter i suppose it dosnt matter so much.. to use filters is not common in the UK for roll ups.. its considered a bit of a "newbie" thing.. so is the machine..

some use them thow and they can be bought..

really?
Everyone i knew in the UK used filter tips.

I'd rather use a filter than to go John Wayne on my cigs, personally. I don't like the feeling of swallowing swords.

yeah but they were smoking cigarettes not roll ups !

 

[Rorschach]

No, they were doing roll it yourself cigarettes. My former Russian professor was also complaining about the lack of filter tips for rolled cigarettes here in the US.

Maybe i just ran into different people. Either way, nearly everyone I met in the US rolls without filters.

 

[trog100]

John Wayne used to roll one one-handed while riding his horse.. i used to do it while driving my car.. he he he

now all i have to bloody do is top up my e cig..

only joking mr policeman.. whoops..
