Scouring Pads???

[JasonTaylor456]

Ok so first off let me state I have tried the PTB mod, the straw mod, etc.. Has anyone esle out there tried a scouring pad? The one i use is from work so there is no brand name, its just your basic green, no chemical scouring pad. Let me say it works great!!!! I have tried this in a Blu atty and a 510 atty and I cannot get similiar results with any other mods. It really cost effective too, one pad would last basically 100 mods which is one of my problems with the PTB.
All I did was cut out a peice that seemed like it would fit and stuff it in. No straws, no frills, nothing fancy. I seems like the scouring pad works well because its not absorbant at all, so it transfers the liquid with no promblems. It works so well on my blu that I no longer need to dip the atty which is great for convience and is basically the only other way to get a good hit from the blu. Also I have not noticed any problems yet with leaking.
Let me know if there is someone out there that already tried this. If not try it, and give me your thoughts?

could you perhaps post a couple of good clear pictures of the scouring pad so we can see the density etc?

Thanks

This is not my picture but its the same as what we get from the supplier of the company i work for.

You can find it on google, just type in heavy duty green scouring pad.

 

[JasonTaylor456]

The one I am actually using is about twice as think, but is exactly the same material as this. We have both at work. But you could fold this over for a larger atty, and get the same results.

 

[mpetva]

thank you. I think I have some of those layingaround. I wonder though, if the heat releases anything toxic or if the material reacts with the juice or nicotine.

 

[JasonTaylor456]

Tried to figure out what material that would be. Only thing I could find was "Synthetic Fiber", or possible a nylon material. I would think it would be somewhat safe because it is used for cleaning food items. But when you heat it who know? I will check more on that and possible the manufacturing process to get more info.

They are Scothbrite pads. I think 3M make them.

The ones I use are not scotch brite brand. It is actually from the kay chemical supply company. But I think scotch brite would be the same thing.

i have 3 carts loaded up with them now on my 510...no funny taste..no weird smell, just good clean vapor...i'll keep ya posted on anything i find. and lemme know if you all find out anything as well

 

[Syn]

btw....i did a search on the green scouring pads, and found that they are made of polyester. as far as anything else about them, not much...lol

As someone mentioned, it would be wise to know what you are heating and inhaling.

I have never tried the scrubbers myself but at one point, someone was talking about trying this. No rust, corrosion or splintering. But they never reported back.

I have green pads at work but I also have black ones that are called "no scratch pad" they are used to clean stainless steal and they donn't scratch them. I'm not sure If they sell tham at the grocery store but they are black and are more losley wound, hold more liquid. I will bring some home and try that out, and post some pictures.

Kristin is using the green pad on top of the "spring mod" and she is getting excellent results.... just FYI.

LOL! I just saw this thread, too, Scott! Yep, I'm using a piece of the Scotch Brite pad as a "plug" on top of a straw. (You can use one drinking straw or two coffee straws.) I searched online and the 3M site says they are made of nylon fibers.

WARNING!!! I need to comment that I am NOT using the green pads anymore! I did further research and they have metal abraisives embedded in them!! (Thankfully, I only used them a couple of times.)

I found Scotch Brite NON-SCRATCH BLUE pads, which don't list that they have the metal abrasives!! They do work awesome with the RSP mod: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/cartridge-mods/46916-reservoir-straw-plug-mod-rsp-mod.html

I tried it once and won't do it again. It just doesn't feel safe when you handle it. But they claim on their web site it's made of agave fiber...

 

[kristin]

3m does have a non-scratch "green" pad - meaning eco-friendly - that has the agave fibers. Those should be ok, as well. You just don't want to use the green COLORED heavy duty scour pads. Those have the abrasives embedded in them.

Green colored was the one i tried

Just be careful with this style mod (we use the same pad style with the spring mod). Some of the Scotch Brite pads have an abrasive molded into the fibers.... you don't want to use that style pad! If you go this route, look for the no-scratch variety.
