Finally got the hang of this vaping thing, even went to the crafts store and bought my $4.00 bag of "quality quilt Batting". However, a few conundrums still remain.
Product is 100% polyester and can't shake the feeling I'm inhaling a pair of vintage floral pants. Product also states "glazene finish for easier handling". Is that yet another chemical I'm inhaling?
Product is similiar but nowhere near to the product found inside a pack of empty carts. Doesn't seem to have the same consistency. Is that wool or maybe cotten inside there?
Saw already recommended the 20% polyfill is best but couldn't find. Saw numerous youtube videos extolling the virture of the "teabag" but that seems more expensive than the batting method. Even say Ms. T's video on..say what..aquarium cleaning filters?

So what's the real and final verdict? Foam, batting, polyfill, filters, or teabags. And what's your thoughts on possibly organic cotten or wool? Oh and how about a mini lesson on the proper size of filler, is it best to pack the cartridge or just leave loose?

Many thanks, friend.

Hi Kris,

Sounds like you bought some batting that is too dense and has a fireproof resin coating. Not good!! This is what has been reported as having great success and being the same thing as the original. It is Seven dollars in Walmart:

the 20 ounce density is what is key for the proper wicking.

Hope that helps,

Sun
