I am thinking I might do that pete...paper towel or teabag material both seem to work really good...although at the moment I am thinking the teabag is the best of the two but I plan to try a much better quality paper towel than the original one I tried, that tended to go mushy after refilling it a few times, whereas the teabag can actually be washed.
wow, aafter reading a bunch of the posts in this forum i am starting to come up with the idea for the perfect e-cig, lots of good ideas, it seems to me like everybody is working on one specific part. why not start combining all of these ideas? seems like this concept and the magnum battery concept would go hand in hand to make one of the best vaping devices ever.
I'd like an e-cig with a built in liquid reservoir and top up button, something like those primer buttons you get on lawnmower engines. I have no idea how feasible that is.
OMG. I just tried the paper towel method. Wow, It works so much better. Vapes better, don't have to fill ,fill, fill every few vapes. I still might try the coffee filters, since I have so many of them.
Question: With using the paper towels, will it help the attys stay cleaner. Like no hard black buildup from melted polly?

Hi Ann.....although I think that the tea bag material may be better than the paper towel because it doesn't go mushy when you keep on refilling it and you can even wash it....I have brought some really good quality highly absorbent thick kitchen paper towels today to try out ...so I have cut a peice only about an inch in length rolled it up like a carpet roll, slid it in the cart trimmed it off and am seeing how that goes now.
update ....wow after a few hours I have to say the wicking of this better quality paper kitchen paper towel is brilliant..Lotus Thirst Pockets is the brand...it takes loads of juice to fill the cart ...almost as much as if the cart had nothing in it at all and it seems to be feeding the juice to the atomizer at the perfect speed.
With regards to keeping the atty cleaner .....it certainly makes sure there is no polyester getting onto the attomizer coil but unfortunately I don't think it stops any of the gunk build up....that's still a problem to be solved.

"Lotus Thirst Pockets is the brand.".. I don't think we have that brand around here. To bad for me, it sound like a winner.
i use scott brand paper towels and they have been great so far. I will never go back o polyester again. this forum has taught me a lot about e smoking.
i have a tip for anyone experiencing sore throats. Gargle with listerine 2 x a day and drink water after any heavy vaporing.

Thanks for all the great tips....I'm gonna try the tea bags to revamp my carts....i'll let you know how it works
I've gone through periods of checking my atomizers regularly (like, every dozen puffs) with high intensity UV to see the filter fibers and haven't seen any indication they create the hard black buildup. Dr. Loi talked about this for a while too, he examined with medical microscopes, and I don't recall that he pinged them for being responsible there either.
Do folks have some evidence to the contrary?
The evidence to 'myself' is that I haven't had 'any' of that plasticky taste since I stopped using polyester and that's good enough for me.
but it's true that it doesn't to be responsible for the hard black build up at all.

Final update .....the tea bag method of cart filling material 'is' better than the paper towel and is what I shall be sticking with.
Just tried the tea bag method and so far, I'm impressed! Using it in a 901 cart, and I'm amazed at how much juice I could add. I was starting to get a plasticky taste from my cart, and not much vape (I'd cleaned and restuffed), so I replaced the stuffing with the tea bag and problem solved. Getting throat hit now too, finally! Thanks Pete
Interested to see how ppl get on with coffee filters.

Ok, Tried the paper towel, it's great.
Tried the coffee filter, it's great.
Still need to try the tea bag.
I have noticed that a lot of the bad feelings I had, that I thought was using PG, have stopped since I took out the polly. I'm still using the PG.

I agree w/everything you said so far,here are my thoughts. Paper towels,napkins,coffee filters,vape better than poly ie. fish filters,batting etc. Paper products seem to produce better vapor and much cleaner taste. Their drawback is, much shorter lifespan before getting mushy and wicking poorly(1-2 topoffs)maybe.I would like to try teabags next. Are there some bags that are not paper? thanks 4 all the ideas,one of these will be a winner...Chuck

That's the beauty of the tea bag....it 'doesn't' go mushy!!!!!!!! it can even be washed and it doesn't wick poorly at all.
