Question about pyramid tea bags

[Bennywow]

I want to start refilling my own cartridges and before I do I want to put pyramid tea bags in them. I have seen some good video's on how to do this except I am somewhat confused on the tea bags. While at the store today I looked over the tea and seen no mention on the lipton tea as to what the bags were made of. My question is are all lipton tea bags pyramid. Thanks for any information you can provide me.

No- They are Special Lypton boxes marked Pyramid

And the package shows a pyramid teabag on it.

They're called pyramid tea bags because they're pyramid-shaped, so the loose-leaf tea inside them (not the semi-powdered regular stuff) flows loosely in the bag.

The regular tea bags are totally different, and apparently worthless for cart-stuffing.

Hint: Look for the most expensive ones (the pyramid bags cost 2-3 times as much). Mine (flavor is called "Black Pearl") has a picture of the bag on the front, and it clearly looks pyramid-like, although "pyramid tea bags" is in very small letters.

The picture looks sort of like a Triangle. When you cut one seam off, then it shows itself to be a rectangle, or square. You just fold it over on itself, starting at one end. My supplier showed me how to do it, fold it around a toothpick, so there's a little gap in the center of it. Then put it in the cart and cut it to sit slightly below the top edge of the cart. Then soak it with drops of juice with a few drops in the middle hole too.

Thank all of you so much, now I know just what to look for. This forum is great for beginners like me and I am sure it will be a great resource even when I am well into it.

I bought 3 carts with pyramid tea bags in them so I could see how much tea bag to use and how to fold them. I think they were 3 for $5 from cignot.com. So I pulled out one tea bag to make a template after seeing how it vaped (very good) and now have a template. Since doing that I've seen some very good videos here in Tips and Tricks Forum on how to make them.

Look in the "Tips and Tricks" forum on the main page. On the first page look for a string entitled "Video:Lipton Pyramid Tea Bag mod" and you will find some really good vids by Moobyghost.

I can't post links because I don't have enough posts yet
