Nylon Yarn - Similar to Lipton Pyramid Teabags?

[jeremy4444]

I was wondering if they're the same thing.

Few Question:

1. Are those lipton pyramid teabags dangerous to vape from?

2. If not, would a similar nylon material work for cartomizer filler such as Nylon Yarn?

3. Is Nylon bad to vape through?

I really wanted to find a way to restuff my cartomizers and I tried paper towels which do work but I'm not sure if it's unhealthy or not.

Supposedly the paper towels are bleached when made but the bleach is then washed out.

I'm no expert, but I would think that you would not want to inhale fumes from burned nylon or paper towels. Isn't there material for filling these things that you can buy at an e-cig shop?

I havvta assume you are talking about cartridges(carts) and not cartomizers(cartos)...these are two entirely diff things...blue foam, like what is used in aquarium filters has become the preferred medium for carts(or so I have read)

Cartomizers that contain polyfill is what I'm using.

I keep hearing about these cartridges, are those better than cartomizers? I thought cartomizers where the successor of cartridges?

 

[madjack]

cartos are the follow on to carts...carts contain a filler and plug into an atomizer...a carto has the filler and atomizer in one unit...while I an kinda new, I haven't heard of a stuffing carto that could be re-stuffed...carts on the other hand, can be re-stuffed....................

Are there any type of Ecigs that do not contain stuffing like...maybe a sealed tube that contains the liquid and the atomizer extracts it from there? I hate the carts/cartos filled with polyfill and wicks. :\

 

[madjack]

...the EgoT and EgoC come closest, but even they have a little short wick and come with their own set of problems such as muted flavor, throat hit and vapor, not to mention leakage issues...CE2, CE3, clearomizers and fluzomizers also use a wick into a tank...and once again have their own problems with leakage and such...the ONLY way to get away from fillers or wicks is to direct drip onto an atomizer with a drip tip...and then, you are having to drip 2r3 drops every 5puffs or so...cartomizers are the most hassle free means of vaping.............

CE2 Type cartomizers don't use stuffing. They have their pros and cons though. Some people have great results, others hate them. I'm in the latter group .

If you don't have stuffing then you have fiberglass or silica rope wicks. If you want something with no fibers at all but a sealed manual battery and a de-wicked atomizer and drip because that is the only thing with no fibers at all.

And BTW if you are worried about fibers why would you use yarn instead of the tea bag fabric? Yarn often loses fibers but the tea bag material is woven or knitted. And the blue foam most people prefer in cartridges doesn't have loose fibers - it's all attached with air bubbles in it like a sponge.

Not sure how a clear repetitious tank atomizer is built, but some people dislike refilling for driping and look into a mod either a bottom feeder or top feeder.

What you want is a Reo. If you don't know what a Reo is, it's a bottom feeder. It has a bottle of juice inside and you press on the bottle to shoot juice up into the atomizer. No filler of any kind.

The 2 types of filler that are safe to use is Fluval and Marineland Type U. Both can be found at your local petstore. Wash it first before using. They both work great. I have some Marineland that I'm going to play with and repack a Boge carto with. I'm curious to see if it works but I won't be able to do so until Christmas week when I'm off.

And like tmcase said, get a Reo but if a Reo is out of touch for you due to funds, there are other bottom feeders a lot cheaper and work the same.

I always thought a bottom Feeder was a tobacco company exec?
