Well now it makes sense, there are two super walmarts in my area and they are the ones that have it. Both are 30 miles away. :(

Understand that I live in R.I. so anything more than ten miles requires planning and supplies lol. :D

I wonder if its possible to get them to send JUST bags. Im sure there are people that bag their own tea and have excess to this material. This requires further investigation.

I admit, I just tried using a cigarette filter for the first time last night and so far I think it's the perfect filler material. Super easy to tear one filter apart into three perfectly shaped fillers (for an M series cart.) I just had to cut it shorter to fit, but it seems to be working fine. For the record, this is from a Honeyrose herbal cig, made in England. American made tobacco cig filters might be different. I have a bunch of cigarette tubes from when I toyed with rolling my own tobacco cigs a couple of years ago, I'll try that next and see how it goes.

I have been using them for a couple of months and they are great. you must pull them apart some before placing in cart. Cig toobs as they are called. Premier makes them. several dollars for 200.. If you havent used them, try iy. best material I have used. imo
Ive tried everything. Dont like tes bag. gets too brittle. Thesse are cheap and they do work if you separate the cotton some before placing in cart..

LOL. I live in the heart of Seattle and the closest Wally World is WAY out of town! But, I can walk a block and get the bags. Driving is just not an option for us ;) Oh, and not secret anymore, I worked on the 'super secret FC plan' that tanked (partly because of a few key players who said f this place, you treat us like crap ;))

Worst case, have you just considered ordering them from Walmart online? I bet there is something else you would want to buy from them as well that would make the shipping worth while.

Haha, you city people! You always make me chuckle when you make statements like that. Where I live, I'd say that 95% of the people drive at least 20 miles ONE WAY to work. Some of them even as far as 60-100 miles one way. To get to anything decent, you have to drive at least 20 miles. To get to something not crappy, you have to drive around 60 miles. To get to something actually reasonably cool, you have to drive 100 miles! I don't mean to offend, but it's funny to me. I have to drive 6 miles just to get to my little town from where I live outside of town. We have three schools in this county and some of those poor children out in the "sticks" have to ride on a bus for like 2 or more hours!

Reminds me of when I worked customer support for Amazon.com who also handles support for Target.com (shh, that's a secret). A lady from NYC called in and asked me to see about something that was out of stock online. I checked her local store which was only a very few miles away, probably across town, and they were also out of stock. Then I checked another store that was 10 miles away from her, and they had it. I said "Ma'am, they actually have it at the store in Blahblah, which is only 10 miles from you!" and she said "OH MY GOD, 10 miles? Jeesus, that's a freakin long way from here!". And she was totally serious!

Sorry, can't help but poke fun at you "city folk". ;)

Oh...dear..we haven't quit all told (couple a day) and that is what I use to roll ours. I have to have to try this. Does it not burn or melt any?

I have been using a cig filter too. I balled up a little loose polester and put it in first, so it could hold more juice...not much. Used a razor to cut the filter length to size...and sliced open...down the middle...removed about 1/3 of the cotton. So far it works great. I think it might be because the cotton fibers are all alined front to back. Seems to wick very, very well. Far better than stock.

Just like Badbeams said. I went and got one of my Rolling tubes from my big box of MYO supplies (that I now never plan to use) and removed the filter from the tube. The filter is the perfect length. I spread it out and tore off a small piece, rerolled it ind slid it into the cart. It was a little tight so I removed a little more. It seems to work at least as well or better than the Fluvall material. I will try to remember to post back in a few days. The Rolling tubes are $1.50 at smokeshop . Not worth the shipping for just 1 carton though. I hope this works well since I ordered 35 cartons before the Schip tax started.

Will have to try this tonight, as I bought a 5 pack of those tubes, and although a few do still get used here and there i've got about 800 that are never going to get used otherwise. I've also got some of the plain ole lil filters you can use when rolling your own instead of the tube fillers. Will try both and report back.

Currently set this up. The filters I have are "TOP Filter Tips" 15mm Length.

I ripped one in half and then pulled a small chunk off of that so it would fit nicely. It was a bit too short for my 510 cart so i tore another small piece to put below it to help fill the cart some more. (tried without that piece and the atty bridge just pushed the filler down into the cart and didn't work at all.) I've been vaping about 20 minutes so far with this and I'm not too impressed. It seems to work so-so. There's some vapor but seems like the stock filler worked better, I'm going to play around with it some more, perhaps less filler, This stuff does absorb quite a bit and fill out after you put in a couple drops of juice.
 
very awesome filler. I just used a menthol premier roll your own tube and i got amazing results, i put 12 drops on it and i am getting amazzzzing vape from it. The menthol is all in the tube so it works wonders with my menthol juice. The throat hit is almost like an analog. I would highly recommend this. All i had to do was cut the filter a little lengthwise to make it fit in the cart, then cut it down on the top. I'm surprised more people don't use this instead of the tea bag method. One to there own though! :D

Nestran, am from Pawtucket...... Stop and Shop has them, but you got to look real hard ....... Go to the Lipton Tea Bag Section and you will see these small boxes of specialty tea...... I think there are 3 flavors together....... The one I got is a greenish box, maybe 3 inches high and 4 inches wide...... It says Green Tea, Mandarin Orange Flavor....... On the lower right corner it shows a Pyramid tea bag...... Hope I was hopefull.......

O.K. Seems like I've been reading about the Pyramid tea bag all summer so I finally did a Google search. I always thought the Pyramid was a sub-name of the Lipton brand. Surprise! Don't think I've ever read, or at least noticed, that Pyramid is the actual SHAPE of the tea bag. Duh!!!
Or did I Google the wrong thing?

Your mom said not to say...
I still prefer Fluval it wicks so much better than the cig tube which is a great absorbent but not so great at giving it up, you waste a lot of juice. Fluval is much easier than the PTB though I have not used that one to compare how it works compared to Fluval. It don't really matter to me as my primary is a GreenCig cartomizer these days.

No, your right. The tea bag is in the shape of a pyramid. You'll look for a box like this in the tea isle.
