Lipton Pyramid Teabag Filling in 5 Steps

[Misty]

Thanks Woozaa..Once I finally got it rolled to perfection, it is awesome as an 801 cart filler!!

Works better than the filler in the new 510 I got too, although I'm not too crazy about the 510 in comparison to the 801 manual switch ecigs..

Just wanted to say cheers for this as well - with a good cleaning (or new for that matter) the stock filler can't compare to this for wicking/vapor, and even at $4.00 for twenty bags it's a good alternative to replacing carts.

I'm pretty convinced that 'plastic taste' from the default stuffing comes once it's started to unravel a bit - single 'threads' are sure to heat to dryness nearly instantly once they start to protrude into the atomizer (all alone it could only wick so fast...); a problem that seemed to get worse for me after a hot water 'bath' I gave my carts to (hopefully) improve the draw.

Oh - 501's for me too

Thanks Woooozzaa it works great. I cut the first one way too short but my second try i got it right. I've been using the same 15 cartridges with original stuffing since early April and was wondering what i was going to do ... now i know.
The box of 20 teabags cost me 3.99.

Where did you get your 801 manuals? All I've seen are autos and passthrus! Would love to get my hands on some! 801s rock!

[woooozzaa]

Well seeing as everybody seems to know the language I might just post my next tuts in french if ever...lol

Is everybody that tried this mod still using it? I'm still using the same 5 carts I rebuild since I started and its still working great for me. Tried a couple different teabags and cofee filters but havn't found anything better yet.

haha, actually i fail at French, took 4 years in school (now that was AGES ago) and i don't remember much other than how to conjugate "etre".

but the "ananas" line was from some cartoon we watched in class, just one of the funniest lines ever

i'm still experimenting with the Pyramid bags on my Prodigy, i'm not having the best of luck yet. i'm using a 901 though, seems most people are using 510 and having great luck with it. it could just be with the Prodigy since it's a higher voltage that the fluid is slower to wick properly. i haven't given up yet though!

Might wanna add a little distilled water to your liquid see if it would help it wick faster. I use 60% vg/40%pg and its perfect for me as is. I have yet to try using vodka like some people suggest too, I keep drinking the bottles. That might also make the liquid thinner.

Good luck.

 

[Flitzanu]

actually that's right about what i use too. i got a gallon of PG and realized it's much thinner than i like, so i'm back to using mostly VG and a dash of PG. i should just try it on my real ecigs and see if it works, then i'll at least know i've got it right, heh.

Oh yeah, I use these carts all day, every day. I have 4 in rotation. When I change flavours I use a clean cart, rinse out the old one and put it at the back of the line. I have to try these teabags in a penstyle cart and see if they work any better, I never cared much for pen carts. Then I could try some of those best-e-cig BE112s that everyone raves about.

Has anyone tried this without the fold?

Remove string

Cut top seam off bag. (put tea for use as loose leaf later ;-)

Cut bottom seam off bag.

Cut side seam off bag. You should now how have a long rectangle of nylon mesh. (Good time to rinse and let dry, tea has lots of tasty oils that probably aren't good for vaping)

Cut this in half length wise. You now have two long, narrow rectangles of mesh.

Roll one rectangle loose, and trim to normal, just shorter than the cart, length.

Roll the other a bit tighter, still not quite tight, and trim it just shorter than the other roll

Place it into the center of the other roll.

Place combined roll in cart​

I've found this works even better than the nylon bags usually do.

I think the advantage is that filler has a little cup in it for the atomiser to fit in. like the dent in the polyfill that the atty forms. You can make this even more cup like by pushing pulling the center and getting the roll to spiral into a very short tube (like a kid would roll up a paper and sort of stretch out and use as a pirate spy glass or to poke and annoy a sibling) and trimming, which gets a nice bowl/cone shape for the atty.

Please tell us if you try this, or anything else out, with your bag rolling/folding, and how it works out!

And how long before the carts just come with this stuff in them? Nylon Teabags FTW!

By the way, there are many more teas than the Lipton Pyramid that use that bag design, so consider this a chance to enjoy all kinds of crazy tea! ;-)

I still have to try the tea! I got Happy Berry Unicorn Fairie Sunshine. I threw some out, but saved a few bags worth, I'll try it out this weekend.

Cornrow, I just finally got the teabag working because of the fold! But will definitly try your neat way once I've got a new wave of patience Thanks for the info!

Youfill, I've been using the fold way on the 801 with huge success - finally!.. after trying the straw mod to no avail or the unfolded way..vaping now with the Prodigy too *heaven*!

Are the Lipton tea bags pure hemp, or do they have a plastic component?
