Question About Pyramid Bag Cart Mod

[skydragon]

Hello,

I am wondering if all Lipton tea bags are considered a "pyramid" bag or it there is a special bag. If it is a special bag, does it say Pyramid on the box? Thank you in advance.

No, not all lipton tea bags are pyramid. They say Pyramid tea bag on the label.

Thanks Uncle Pennybags. I wonder what the difference is?

The pyramid tea bags are made out of some kind of nylon or plastic mesh, whereas the regular teabags are some kind of paper, like a coffee filter. I don't think the paper ones will work very well.

Pyramid tea bags look like this:

The important thing isn't the shape, it's the material. See how it's not paper or cloth, but more like a very fine mesh screen? That's what you need. This is important, since some brands have the pyramid shape, but are made from regular tea bag material. People recommend Lipton because all Lipton Pyramid bags (at least in the US) use this mesh material. With any other brand, you may or may not get the right stuff.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I went to the grocery store but I could not find any box that said pyramid. Figures.

The Lipton Pyramid bags in the uk are made of a different material not regular paper but not the mesh type you have in the US.

Strange.

Hello!
I use the tea bag mods, but my bags are not pyramid, are paper still work very well. Grab a tea bag, divided in two, gives two baggies, wrap the cartridge in width and twice in the middle and tuck in the cartridge, cut the excess. Fit 17 drops of juice. Can bubble but does not leak and neither has a bad taste. The bad is only fit 17 drops at first, then it is less, have to use new role.
