Hello people-
Just thought I'd pass this along as something you could try as a cartridge filler that works for me. I've seen it someplace on a post, but I looked it up here and found no reference to it. After having tried a slew of varieties of filler (and mods-hi-ping etc.) I settled on this material because it comes in a flat sheet, is very porous (perhaps too much so for some) and does its own expanding after its cut. When I cut a narrow piece (the width of the narrow directionon the cartridge) to the length it just takes to bring it to the top, Ive found it expands itself to fit the cartridge the wide direction. Some may not like this filler. because it is a little loose, but I don't dilute my juice, rather I add glycerin to thicken it and make it "smokey". I did notice a slight chemical slipperiness to the sheets I didn't like so I steep the new ones in almost boiling water for a few minutes, then dry them in the sun. I just change them out every time. dOccasionally it doesn't seem to want to wick all the way (some of my experimental juice, I suppose) so I just squash it with a pair of tweezers and pull the whole thing up to atomizer bridge range.
I understand the very subjective nature of all this, so I'm just putting the name Rena out there as a possibility.

Paul
